Are Cookies Used?
Esperanza uses cookies on our Web site. A cookie contains absolutely no personal information; rather, it is a small piece of data that is stored on your hard drive. For example, cookies tell us about the type of browser you use, your IP address, and which Web pages you like to visit. By helping us learn about your interests and preferences, we can better customize our Web site to your needs; thus, cookies can enhance your visit to our site.

How Does Esperanza Use My Information?
Only after careful consideration and screening will we occasionally make the names and addresses of our donors and constituents available to reputable commercial companies and other nonprofit organizations. Please refer to the privacy policies of these third parties, as Esperanza is not responsible for any uses of personal information by third parties.
Also, if we believe it is necessary or appropriate, we will make disclosures of your information pursuant to law enforcement or court orders that require such disclosure.
