Cookies and similar storage
Maranatha uses cookies and similar browser storage only where it needs to. This page lists everything the site can store on your device, why, and for how long.
Church sites on Maranatha use the same list. Fonts and scripts are served from Maranatha itself, so loading a page does not contact Google.
When you give, you are sent to Stripe's own checkout page. Stripe sets its own cookies there under its own policy.

Your choices
Anything that is not strictly necessary stays off until you say yes. The first time you visit you can accept or reject all of it, or choose category by category, and rejecting is as easy as accepting.
You can change your mind at any time with , also linked in the footer of every page. Withdrawing removes what the site stored and stops it being used.
If your browser sends the Global Privacy Control signal, the site treats that as a rejection of analytics and referral tracking and does not ask you again.
How your choice is recorded
Your choice is kept in a first-party cookie named cc_consent for 12 months. It holds a random ID, the date, the version of this notice, and what you chose. A copy of that record is also kept on our server so we can show what you chose. It does not include your IP address or any personal details. You are asked again when the list above changes or after 12 months.
Browser settings
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser. If you block the strictly necessary ones, parts of the site that rely on them, such as signing in, will stop working.
