Subway Cares Foundation Cookie Policy

At the Subway Cares Foundation, Inc. (the “Foundation,” “us”, “we”, or “our”), we want to ensure that your visit to our website is smooth, reliable and as useful to you as possible. To do this, we use cookies, tags, and similar tracking technologies. Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored on your device’s hard drive by your web browser. This Cookie Policy describes how our website uses cookies and how you can manage cookies.

We use cookies and the information they collect to help us recognize you, customize and improve your website experience, provide security, analyze usage of our website and gather demographic information about our user base.

TYPES OF COOKIES ON OUR WEBSITES

Our website may use both cookies that we implement and cookies implemented by our suppliers and other third parties. “First-party” cookies allow your web browser to talk to the actual website that you are visiting, whereas “third-party” cookies allow your browser to talk to third-party websites, such as the source of an ad that appears on the website you are visiting or a third-party analytics provider. Our suppliers may use cookies and tracking technologies, such as pixel tags, to track visitors to our website across the Internet to understand how you get to our website. We do not have access or control over those cookies and this Cookie Policy does not cover the use of third-party cookies.

The types of information collected by a cookie and the purposes for which that information is used depends on the type of cookie. By way of illustration, the types of cookies used, the types of information collected by those cookies, and the purposes for which that information is used are described below.

Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the website will not then work. Without these cookies, website features and services you have requested will not be able to be provided.

Functional Cookies (such as language preference): These cookies help us customize our website content based on a user’s preferences. They remember the user’s choices, their preferred language, the country pages visited, and changes the user makes to text size or other preferences when viewing our website. If functional cookies are disabled, various functions of our website may be unavailable to you or may not work the way you want them to.

Performance Cookies (such as those used for Google Analytics): These cookies assess the performance of our website, including as part of our analytic practices to help us understand how visitors use and interact with our website and to help us fix technical issues or errors, and highlight areas such as navigation where we can improve our website. For example, Google Analytics uses cookie identifiers to track the number of visitors to the website, providing us with the volumes and sources of website traffic. This allows us to analyze web traffic patterns and run tests to optimize web pages and visits against key metrics. These cookies help us improve the way the website works and provide a better, personalized user experience.

How long will cookies stay on my device?

The length of time a cookie will stay on your computer or mobile device depends on whether it is a “persistent” or “session” cookie. Session cookies will exist only for so long as you are visiting the applicable website and are typically deleted or removed when you exit or quit your browser application. Persistent cookies exist for a set period of time and stay on your computer or mobile device until they expire or are deleted. Each time you visit a website that has implemented a persistent cookie, that cookie will remain active until its predetermined expiration date. You can also manually delete persistent cookies as discussed below.

HOW TO MANAGE COOKIES

Most web browsers automatically accept cookies. Browsers generally also allow users to manage cookies in the browser’s settings. For example, a browser may allow you to reject cookies from certain websites, reject certain types of cookies regardless of the website, reject or disable all cookies from all websites, or delete previously stored cookies stored previously. Some browsers also give you the option of being notified every time a cookie is sent to your browser by a website.

You can disable or limit cookies but doing so may impact your use and enjoyment of the Site and other websites. For example, the website may not be able to be personalized for you, may no longer capture or remember your preferences or other choices you have made on the website in the past, and may not remember your name,  contact information, or other information you have entered using the website. Please refer to your browser’s options to learn more about cookie management using your browser.

Managing First-Party Cookies. To manage first-party cookies (that is, tracking with cookies placed by the Foundation) on our website, you may be able to opt out by adjusting the appropriate settings in your browser. Each browser is different, but many common browsers have preferences or options that may be adjusted to allow you to either accept or reject cookies and certain other technologies before they are set or installed or allow you to remove or reject the use or installation of certain technologies altogether.

Changing your cookie preferences in one browser will not necessarily carry over to other browsers, so you may need to adjust your preferences each time you get a new device, install a new browser, upgrade an existing browser, or alter or delete a browser’s cookie file.

How we Respond to “Do Not Track” Signals. Due to the automatic collection of data using cookies as described above, we do not honor “do not track” requests. For this reason, your selection of the “Do Not Track” option provided by your browser may not have any effect on our collection of information using cookies and tracking technologies.
