This page explains how cookies and similar technologies may be used when you visit the Water, Sanitation and Hygiene in Healthcare Facilities resource website. It should be read together with the Privacy Policy.
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files that a website or service stores through your browser. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels, and device identifiers. They can support security, remember preferences, measure performance, or enable media supplied by another service.
Cookies Used by the Core Site
This archive consists primarily of static HTML pages, style sheets, scripts, images, and downloadable WASH resources. It does not require visitors to create an account, maintain a shopping cart, or sign in to read the main content. The core archive therefore does not depend on advertising or account-session cookies.
The server or hosting platform may still use essential technologies for functions such as traffic routing, abuse prevention, caching, availability monitoring, and secure content delivery. These technologies are controlled by the hosting environment and may differ between local preview, staging, and public deployment.
Embedded YouTube Videos
Webinar pages include videos hosted by YouTube. When a page loads an embedded player—or when you interact with it—YouTube may receive your IP address, browser and device details, the referring page, and playback activity. YouTube may also set cookies according to your browser state and its own policies. If you prefer not to connect to YouTube, do not open or play embedded videos; the accompanying written summaries and downloadable resources can still be used where available.
External Links and Downloads
Links may lead to Emory University, publishers, public-health institutions, international organizations, or other external services. Those sites can use their own cookies. Downloading a PDF, spreadsheet, or presentation from this Site normally creates only a standard server request, although the hosting provider may record that request in operational logs.
Analytics
No advertising analytics system is built into the archived template. A future administrator may use privacy-conscious aggregate measurement to understand which research tools, country pages, learning briefs, or webinar resources are most useful. If analytics that materially change these practices are introduced, this page should be updated with the provider, purpose, retention, and available controls.
Managing Cookies
Most browsers allow you to view, delete, or block cookies; clear local storage; restrict third-party tracking; and choose whether websites may save data. Blocking all cookies may affect embedded video playback or hosting-layer security features, but the Site’s principal written pages should remain available. Consult your browser’s privacy or site-data settings for specific instructions.
Do Not Track and Privacy Signals
Browsers may send “Do Not Track†or other privacy preference signals. Because the core Site does not maintain behavioral advertising profiles, there is no separate advertising opt-out process here. Third-party services may interpret browser signals under their own policies.
Questions and Updates
This notice may change when the hosting platform or embedded services change. The latest revision date appears above. Questions about cookies or privacy can be submitted using the information on the Contact Us page.
