The cookies we use do not reveal any personally identifiable information about you. Cookies help us understand which parts of our website are the most popular, where our visitors are going, and how long they spend there. We use cookies to study traffic patterns on our site so we can make adjustments and improvements.
In addition, cookies can collect demographic and interest data about visitors, if available. This data includes age range, gender, and interests. This information helps Madison Community Foundation better understand the demographics and interests of the people visiting the website.
Madison Community Foundation will not make any attempt to disaggregate the data provided by cookies and will not identify users or facilitate the merging of personally identifiable information with non-personally identifiable information.
