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.
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 |

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.
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.
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.
