This Cookie Policy explains how Indianola First ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website (indianolafirst.com). It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, to improve your experience, and to provide information to the site owner. Similar technologies such as pixels, tags, and local storage work in comparable ways. We refer to all of these simply as "cookies" in this policy.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential cookies. These are necessary for the website to function properly, for example to keep the site secure, remember your session, and allow features like forms, giving, and the "Plan a Visit" tools to work. The site cannot function correctly without these, so they cannot be turned off through our site.

Performance and analytics cookies. These help us understand how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited most often, so we can improve it. This information is generally collected in an aggregated, anonymous form. If we use an analytics service (such as Google Analytics), it may set its own cookies for this purpose.

Functional cookies. These allow the website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced features, such as embedded content.

Third-party and embedded content cookies. Some pages include content from other services, for example embedded YouTube videos, social media links, our sermon hub, or event registration tools. These third parties may set their own cookies when you interact with their content. We do not control these cookies, and we encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of those services.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies to operate and secure our website, to remember your preferences and settings, to understand how our website is used so we can improve it, and to enable embedded features such as videos and giving or registration tools.

We do not use cookies to sell your personal information.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

Most web browsers let you control cookies through their settings. You can usually block or delete cookies, or set your browser to alert you when a cookie is being placed. Please note that if you block essential cookies, some parts of our website (such as forms and giving) may not work properly.

To learn how to manage cookies, check the "Help" or "Settings" menu of your specific browser. For general guidance on cookies and how to control them, you can also visit resources such as allaboutcookies.org.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Effective date" at the top of this page.
