What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Some are required for a site to work. Others let a site remember your choices or load content from other services. Similar technologies (like local storage) are covered by this policy too.
Our approach
We ask before we use any cookie that isn’t strictly necessary. When you first visit, nothing optional loads: our events calendar, online giving, sermon library, contact form and map stay switched off until you allow them. You can accept all, reject all, or choose by category, and you can change your mind at any time. Your choice is saved for 30 days, after which we’ll ask again. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as a refusal of statistics and marketing cookies.
Fonts, images and video on this site are served from our own domain, so viewing pages doesn’t send your information to any other company. For how we handle personal information more broadly, see our Privacy Policy.
Cookies by category
Essential
Essential cookies enable basic functions and are necessary for the proper function of the website. They cannot be turned off.
Cookie Preferences · gloryfellowship.org
Used on: Every page
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| gf_consent | Stores your cookie consent choices so we don't ask on every page. | 30 days |
| gf_live_banner_dismissed (session storage, not a cookie) | Remembers that you closed the “We’re live” banner during a Sunday service. | Until you close the browser tab |
Functional
Functional cookies let us show content hosted by other services, like our events calendar, online giving, sermon library and contact form (provided by Subsplash) and our map (provided by Google). Those services may set their own cookies when they load. If you turn this off, you can still open each tool directly on its own site.
Subsplash · Subsplash Inc. (subsplash.com)
Used on: Events calendar, Giving Online, Contact form, Listen to Sermons, Glory Podcast · Privacy policy
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Subsplash session & security cookies | Keep the embedded church tools working: secure online giving, form submission, media playback and remembering where you are in the sermon library. | Session to 1 year (set by Subsplash) |
Google Maps · Google LLC (google.com)
Used on: Contact page map · Privacy policy
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| NID, AEC, SOCS and related | Display the interactive map and remember map preferences. | Up to 13 months (set by Google) |
Statistics
Statistics help us understand how many people visit and which pages are most useful, so we can improve the website. We use a cookie-free analytics service that counts page views in aggregate and does not identify you or follow you across other websites.
Vercel Web Analytics · Vercel Inc. (vercel.com)
Used on: Every page (only after you allow Statistics) · Privacy policy
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| No cookies set | Counts anonymous, aggregate page views (page, referring site, country, device type). No cookies, no personal identifiers, no cross-site tracking. Page addresses are recorded without any query strings. | Not stored on your device |
Marketing
Marketing cookies are used to show relevant content or advertising across other websites. We do not currently use any marketing services.
No services in this category are currently in use.
Third-party services
Our church uses Subsplash for online giving, events, sermons, our podcast, our app and our contact form, and Google Maps for directions. When you allow Functional cookies, these load inside our pages and are governed by their own privacy policies. If you’d rather not allow them, every blocked tool has an “Open on Subsplash” or “Open on Google Maps” link so you can still give, register or get directions directly.
Managing cookies in your browser
Besides the controls above, you can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking the gf_consent cookie means we can’t remember your choice and will ask again on each visit.
