We also use pixels, local storage, and scripts for equivalent functions, always with user consent where required.

Performance/Analytics Cookies (e.g., Google Analytics: _ga, _gid) collect anonymized data on page views, sermon downloads, and bounce rates to optimize ministry content delivery.
Functional/Marketing Cookies personalize experiences, such as saving language preferences or enabling Facebook/YouTube embeds for live streams and podcasts (“Faith UnPhaZed”).
