This website (drfrancesca.co.uk) is designed to be cookieless. I do not use advertising cookies, social media tracking pixels, or any cookies that require your consent under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) or the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR).
This means you will not see a cookie consent banner on this website, because none is required.
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device when you visit. Cookies can be used for a range of purposes, including keeping you logged in, remembering your preferences, or tracking your behaviour across websites for advertising purposes.
This website does not set any first-party cookies. The table below explains the technical context of the services used to run this website.
| Service | Purpose | Cookies set? | Personal data collected? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cloudflare Web Analytics | Performance monitoring | No | No — aggregated and anonymised data only; no individual tracking |
| Cloudflare Turnstile | Bot and spam protection on the contact form | Minimal session-based technical cookies may be set to validate the challenge; these are strictly necessary for the form to function securely and do not track you | Minimal technical signals assessed locally; not used for profiling or advertising |
| GitHub Pages / Cloudflare Pages | Website hosting and delivery | No tracking cookies set | Standard server logs may capture IP addresses for security and abuse prevention |
I use Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand how this website is performing. Unlike many analytics services, Cloudflare Web Analytics does not use cookies, does not track individual users across websites, does not fingerprint users, and collects only aggregated, non-identifiable traffic data (e.g. page views, referrer domain, country-level location). It does not share data with advertisers. Because no personal data is collected or stored by this service, no consent is required under PECR or UK GDPR for its use.
The contact form on this website uses Cloudflare Turnstile to protect against automated spam and bots. Turnstile is designed as a privacy-respecting alternative to traditional CAPTCHAs. It may set minimal, short-lived technical cookies or use browser signals to verify that you are a real person. These are strictly necessary for the security of the contact form and are not used for advertising, profiling, or cross-site tracking. More information is available in Cloudflare’s Privacy Policy.
This website may contain links to external websites (for example, LinkedIn or the ICO). Once you leave this website, this Cookie Policy no longer applies. I encourage you to review the cookie and privacy policies of any external sites you visit.
As this website does not use tracking or non-essential cookies, there is nothing for you to opt out of. However, you can control and delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. For guidance on how to do this for your specific browser, visit aboutcookies.org or allaboutcookies.org.
I may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example if I introduce new features or services to this website. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy, please get in touch using the contact form on this website or refer to my Privacy Policy for full details of how I handle personal data.
