Cookie Policy

Last updated 22 August 2026. This notice explains cookies and similar files on https://www.securecoding.com. It replaces the July 2020 notice that named White Source Ltd. Read it with the Privacy Policy.

What a cookie is

A cookie is a small file a site or its processor stores on your device so the next request can remember a fact (a session, a cache choice, a bot check). Local storage and pixels can do similar work. This page uses “cookies” for all of them.

What we set

Name / typeWhoWhyHow long
WordPress session cookies (when you log in)SecureCoding / WordPressKeep an editor signed in. Visitors who only read do not get these.Session or the “remember me” period

We do not set advertising cookies and we do not run a third-party ad network on this Site. If we add an analytics cookie later, this table will name it and it will not run until you have a choice the law requires.

How to control cookies

Your browser can block or delete cookies. If you block all cookies, the contact form or an editor login may fail. Cloudflare’s bot cookie is set by the edge; blocking it can look like a network error. Browser instructions: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge each have a cookies panel. You can also use a tracking-protection mode. That choice is yours.

Do not track

The Site does not change behavior based on a DNT header because we do not run an advertising pixel that would honor one. The cookies above are for hosting and the form.
