Action Network privacy information

RFD may use trusted third-party providers including:

• Website hosting providers;
• Analytics providers;
• Email communication providers;
• Event registration systems;
• Social media platforms;
• Action Network;
• Google Translate, when a visitor accepts an offered local language;
• Payment processing providers.

Netlify uses the visitor's country-level network location to offer a relevant local language without exposing the visitor's IP address to the website interface. The website does not automatically translate the page. Accepting the offer loads Google Translate and stores a language preference so translated pages remain active while the visitor moves through the website. Accepting or dismissing the offer also stores a local preference for up to 30 days so the prompt does not repeatedly interrupt the visitor. Google may process page content and technical connection data under its own privacy terms.

These providers may place cookies or similar technologies on your device subject to their own privacy and cookie policies.

When required by applicable law, RFD will request your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device.

• Customize your cookie preferences;
• Withdraw consent at any time.

Your cookie choices will not affect access to essential website functions.

Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality and user experience.
