Cookie Policy
1. The short version
This website (https://themecanvas.uk) sets no analytics cookies and no advertising cookies. We run no trackers, no advertising pixels and no third-party analytics of any kind. The only cookies that may ever appear are strictly-necessary ones set automatically by Cloudflare, our hosting and security provider, as part of protecting the site from bots and abuse.
2. Cookies that may be set
Depending on Cloudflare's security assessment of a given request, the following strictly-necessary cookies may be set:
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
__cf_bm | Cloudflare | Bot management — distinguishes humans from automated traffic to protect the site from malicious bots | Short-lived (up to ~30 minutes) |
cf_clearance | Cloudflare | Records that a visitor has passed a Cloudflare security challenge, so it is not shown repeatedly | Set only if a challenge is issued; up to ~30 minutes to 1 year depending on configuration |
These cookies are essential for the security and delivery of the site, contain no profile or advertising data, and are not used to track you across other websites.
3. Why there is no consent banner
UK law (PECR and the UK GDPR) requires consent for cookies that are not strictly necessary — such as analytics and advertising cookies. Because this site uses only strictly-necessary cookies, no consent banner is currently required, and we prefer not to show one that serves no purpose.
4. Our commitment for the future
If we ever introduce any non-essential cookies or similar technologies (for example, privacy-respecting analytics), we commit to adding a proper consent mechanism before they are set, and to updating this policy and its "Last updated" date at the same time.
5. Controlling cookies in your browser
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings — typically under "Privacy and security". All major browsers let you view cookies set by a site, delete them, and block them for specific sites or entirely. Guidance for common browsers is available in each browser's help pages (look for "manage cookies"). Blocking strictly-necessary cookies may cause Cloudflare's security checks to repeat, but the site will otherwise work.
