AboutContactTermsPrivacyCookies
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.
| Name / type | Who | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| WordPress session cookies (when you log in) | SecureCoding / WordPress | Keep an editor signed in. Visitors who only read do not get these. | Session or the “remember me” period |
| Contact Form 7 fields | SecureCoding | Submit a message. Not used for ads. | Request / short session |
| __cf_bm and related Cloudflare cookies | Cloudflare | Bot management and TLS at the edge. Required for the host we use. | Typically 30 minutes |
| CDN cache tokens | Cloudflare / WP Rocket CDN | Serve static files. Not a profile of you. | Set by the CDN |
| _ga, _ga_HGYG6TREKW, _gid | Google Analytics (gtag G-HGYG6TREKW) | Count visits and page views so we can see what is read. Not used to sell ads on this Site. | Up to 13 months (_ga), 24 hours (_gid) |
We do not set advertising cookies and we do not run a third-party ad network on this Site. Google Analytics is the only third-party measurement tag. Your browser can block it. See Google’s privacy policy and opt-out browser add-on.
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.
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.
