Cookie Policy
Last Updated: March 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how the National Relief Program ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at nationalreliefprogram.org. It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them.
Important Disclaimer: We are a free, independent informational resource. We are not a government agency, we do not issue loans, and we do not process grant or relief applications. We never collect sensitive financial information or charge users for our services.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and support advertising efforts.
2. How we use cookies
Our platform is 100% free for users. To maintain our site and provide you with up-to-date relief information without charging fees, we utilize cookies for essential operations, analytics, and advertising partnerships. We use the following types of cookies:
- Essential Cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our website and to use some of its features, such as accessing secure areas. Because these are strictly necessary, you cannot refuse them without impacting how our site functions.
- Performance and Analytics Cookies: These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our website is being used, or how effective our informational campaigns are. This helps us improve our directory and the user experience.
- Advertising and Affiliate Cookies: Our article pages contain affiliate links and advertisements. These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you and to track referrals. (See Section 3 for more details).
3. Affiliate Links & Advertising (Third-Party Cookies)
Because we do not charge our users or process loans/grants directly, we generate revenue through third-party advertising networks and affiliate partnerships.
When you click on an advertisement or a link to a third-party relief program, service provider, or financial partner, that third party may place a cookie on your browser. This cookie tracks that you were referred by the National Relief Program, which may result in us earning a small commission at no additional cost to you.
- We have no control over the cookies placed by third-party advertisers or affiliate partners.
- Third-party cookies are subject to the privacy and cookie policies of the respective third-party organizations.
- Engaging with external links constitutes an interaction with that third party directly, and the National Relief Program assumes no liability for their tracking practices or data collection.
4. How can you control cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted.
