Last updated: October 15, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Golden Gate Performing Arts, Inc., doing business as the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus (SFGMC), uses cookies and similar technologies on this website. We are a California-based nonprofit serving a primarily United States audience. This policy supplements our Privacy Statement.

Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small files saved by your browser. Scripts, local storage and embedded media may also store information or communicate with service providers. These technologies can support site operation, remember preferences, measure use and deliver third-party content.

How this website uses them

Essential features: WordPress and site tools support security, administrative sessions and website functionality. Complianz remembers your cookie choices.
Optional services: Where enabled, analytics and other integrated services may use cookies or similar technologies. The cookie controls apply to services managed by our consent tool.
Embedded content: Third-party media can communicate with its provider and process information such as your IP address, browser information and interaction with that content. Providers apply their own privacy policies.

YouTube background video

Our YouTube background video loads automatically, before you make a cookie selection, so it can appear when you arrive. YouTube is excluded from this website’s cookie blocker. Choosing “Necessary only” does not stop YouTube from loading or prevent YouTube-related data processing. Other YouTube embeds on this website use the same exception. See Google’s Privacy Policy for information about Google and YouTube.

Your cookie choices

Choose Accept all to allow optional services managed by our consent tool, or Necessary only to decline those optional services. Essential features remain active. The YouTube exception described above applies to either choice.

Change cookie settings. You can also reopen these choices at any time using Cookies in the website footer. Changing your choice does not erase information already collected by a provider.

You can block or delete cookies through your browser, use content-blocking tools, and adjust your Google account settings. Browser restrictions may affect videos or other features. Blocking third-party cookies alone does not necessarily prevent all communication with third-party providers.

California and other United States visitors

SFGMC is a nonprofit organization. The California Consumer Privacy Act generally does not apply to nonprofit organizations, and this policy does not represent that every right under that law applies to SFGMC. Other privacy requirements may apply depending on the activity and jurisdiction. For questions about your personal information or privacy choices, contact us using the details below.

Our consent tool is configured to recognize supported Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals for the services it manages. These controls do not block the YouTube content described above. Third-party providers may handle browser signals under their own policies.

If the privacy laws of your jurisdiction apply to our processing, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion or restriction of your personal information, object to certain processing, request data portability, and withdraw consent where processing relies on consent. These rights are subject to applicable conditions and exceptions. You may also have a right to complain to your local data protection authority.

Contact us to make a request. Adding this regional information does not change how the website loads YouTube or create separate regional consent controls. Information may be processed in the United States or other countries by our service providers; see their privacy notices for further information.
