In addition, the government campaign finance regulators or other agencies may require us to collect certain personal information from donors. For example, the Federal Election Commission (FEC) requires us to collect (and disclose to them) the name, mailing address, occupation, and employer of all individuals whose donations to Blue Future + the Youth Progressive Action Catalyst via the Youth Progressive Action Catalyst, a Federal Hybrid PAC, exceed $200 per calendar year.

Cookies

We store certain information that gets collected automatically at our end through cookies and other similar technologies. A cookie is a small string of information that a website that you visit transfers to your browser for identification purposes. Cookies can be used to follow your activity while using a website or across websites, and that information helps companies understand your preferences and tendencies, as well as improve and personalize your website experience. Some cookies are necessary to operate a website, while others can be functional, analytical, or used for marketing purposes, including targeted advertising (as discussed in more detail below). Cookies on the Site are generally divided into the following categories:

Strictly Necessary Cookies. 

These are required for the operation of the Site. They include, for example, cookies that track whether you have accepted the Site’s cookie notice.

Analytical/Performance Cookies. 

These allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors to the Site and understand how such users navigate through the Site (e.g., when and which pages are visited, in what order the pages are visited, and where a user is located). We also use Google Analytics for part of this process. For more information about Google Analytics, please visit www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. Google provides users with the ability to prevent their data from being used by Google Analytics—learn more by going to https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. 

Marketing Cookies. 

These record your visit to the Site, the pages you have visited, and the links you have followed to recognize you as a previous visitor, and to track your activity on the Site and other websites you visit. These cookies are used to display ads on other websites based on your visits to the Site and other online activity. These cookies qualify as persistent cookies because they remain on your device. You can opt out of these cookies through our cookie banner. If you opt-out, you will need to apply these opt-out settings in each browser and device from which you wish to opt out. If you opt-out of interest-based advertisements, you will still see advertisements online, but they may be less relevant to you.

We also use third parties to provide certain features or functionality through the Service. For example, we use Action Network for marketing services. You can learn more about Action Network’s Privacy Notice at https://actionnetwork.org/privacy.

You can also prevent the use of certain cookies by modifying your Internet browser settings, typically under the sections “Help,” “Internet Options,” or “Settings.” If you disable or delete certain cookies in your Internet browser settings, you may still access our Site, however, you might not be able to access or use important functions or features of our Site, and you may, for example, be required to re-enter your log-in details.
