Cookies
We use cookies to allow us to personalise your visits to this site, keep track of your preferences and learn about the way you use the site.
A cookie is a small text file that is downloaded onto your computer when you visit our website and allows us to recognise you as a user. Typically, these contain two pieces of information: a site name and unique user ID. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and anonymous. Cookies are essential to the effective operation of our website. Cookies make the interaction between you and the website faster and easier. Cookies may also be set by the website you are visiting (first party cookies) or they may be set by other websites who run content on the page you are viewing (third party cookies).
The Lead uses cookies:
- that are strictly necessary to enable you to move around our websites or to provide certain basic features;
- to enhance the functionality of the website by storing your preferences;

We require you to accept or decline certain cookies by accepting or declining our Cookie Consent Notice when first accessing our website.

Additionally, you may delete and block all cookies from any website, within your web browser settings if necessary. Please be aware that restricting or deleting cookies will impact on the functionality of the site.
Hashed lists, social media and web advertising
We may share your personal data for the purpose of targeted marketing for our campaigning and fundraising activities through (e.g. Facebook) advertising so that they can determine whether you are a registered account holder with them. Our adverts may then appear when you access social media e.g. Facebook. We may also share your personal data as part of an exclusion list for our ad campaigns, which helps us target new audiences for The Lead rather than targeting people who have already engaged with us.
Why is data being collected?
The Lead controls certain information or data about you when you use this website which enables us to:
- communicate with you about the campaign and associated causes of The Lead and respond to any feedback you send;
- use third party applications such as Google Analytics or Facebook advertising
- provide you with information about The Lead if you want it.
89up processes information or data about you in order to:
- improve the website by monitoring how you use it;
- respond to any feedback you send us;
- run analytics to understand more about the visitors to the website by using a session cookie to store your personal data when filling out multiple forms. Depending on your privacy settings, such cookies will be accepted by your browser. The session cookie will not transfer information to third parties.
How will it be used?
Your data will only be used for the legitimate purpose you have provided it for. We will keep your personal data received when you sign up to our updates for the duration of your relationship with us or as long as you are in contact with us, and up to two years after.
Who will it be shared with?
Your data will be shared with 89up and third party software platforms as necessary in relation to the purposes described above.
