Cookie Policy

Last updated: 22 May 2026 PLACEHOLDER: confirm this date before launch

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work as expected and to pass information between your browser and the site between page loads.

2. Cookies this site uses

The Welfare One website uses only strictly necessary cookies. There are no analytics cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party tracking cookies.

Cookie Set by Purpose Duration Category
__cf_bm and related Cloudflare cookies Cloudflare, Inc. Bot management and site security. Required for Cloudflare Pages to protect the site against automated attacks and ensure availability. Not used to track individuals across sites. Session (up to 30 minutes) Strictly necessary
Cloudflare Turnstile Cloudflare, Inc. Spam prevention on the contact form. Set only when the contact form page is loaded and the Turnstile challenge is rendered. Contains a short-lived verification token. Does not track you across sites or build a profile. Short-lived (minutes) Strictly necessary
wo_cookie_notice Welfare One (Ashbe Ltd) Records that you have acknowledged the cookie notice banner, so it is not displayed on subsequent visits. 12 months Strictly necessary (user preference)

No consent is required for strictly necessary cookies under UK PECR (Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations). The cookie notice banner on this site is an acknowledgement, not a consent gate.

3. No analytics or advertising

This site does not use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, HubSpot, or any other analytics, advertising, or behaviour-tracking service. No tracking cookies are set.

If non-essential cookies are introduced in future — for example, analytics — this policy will be updated and a consent mechanism will be added before those cookies are set.

4. Managing cookies

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, or delete cookies already stored on your device.

Because this site uses only strictly necessary cookies, blocking them may affect how the contact form functions (specifically, the Turnstile spam check). It will not otherwise affect your ability to browse the site.

5. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy if our use of cookies changes. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised.
