This Cookie Notice (“Notice”) sets out how The 10,000 Interns Foundation (“we”, or “us”) uses and categorises cookies and other tracking technologies through our website (https://10000internsfoundation.com). We are committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected, and this website respects the extent of your consent given via the cookie banner which is displayed at the bottom of the page when you visit our website.

  1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small files that are placed on your computer or mobile device by a website when you visit it. They contain details of your browsing history on that website and distinguish you from other users. Cookies send data back to the originating website on each subsequent visit or allow another website to recognise the cookie. Cookies serve the purpose of making our website function in more user friendly and effective ways, and in order to tailor the website operations to your needs and preferences, analyse website usage and generally improve your online user experience.

Although this notice refers to the general term ‘cookie’, it also applies to similar tracking technologies that we use (such as ‘web beacons’, ‘clear GIFs’ and ‘pixel tags’).

  1. Why do we use cookies?

We use cookies to:

  • let you navigate and do things on our website. In other words, some cookies are necessary for our website to function.
  • collect statistics – the information collected by cookies enables us to improve the website through usage figures and patterns. For example, to see which pages of the website are the most popular and how users are interacting with them.
  • analyse how individuals interact with us so we can improve our services.
  • ensure that our website is secure – for example, to make sure that personal information that you give to us does not fall into the wrong hands.
  • suggest content for you based on the pages of our website you have previously visited.

  1. Types Of Cookies Used

To enable you to select your cookie preferences when you visit our website, we provide you with the option to reject the use of cookies which do not fall under the “Necessary”, or “Essential” category via our cookie banner.
