Cookies
What we set, why, and how to control it
What cookies this site uses
This site uses a small number of strictly necessary cookies. We do not use analytics, advertising, or tracking cookies of any kind. The cookies fall into two groups: one we set ourselves to remember that you have seen the cookie notice, and two set by our infrastructure provider (Cloudflare) to keep the site secure against automated abuse.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration | Strictly necessary? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
sc_cookie_ok | Spyced Concepts (first-party) | Remembers that you have seen or dismissed the cookie notice, so it does not re-appear on every page load. | 30 days | Yes |
cf_clearance | Cloudflare | Records that your browser has passed Cloudflare's security challenge (bot mitigation). Required to access the site securely. | Up to 30 minutes | Yes |
__cf_bm | Cloudflare | Cloudflare Bot Management — helps distinguish real visitors from automated abuse across the site. | 30 minutes | Yes |
How to control cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you view, delete, and block cookies on a per-site basis. The exact steps vary by browser — search your browser's help pages for "cookie settings" or "privacy settings".
You can also reset your cookie preference for this site directly. Clicking below will clear sc_cookie_ok — the cookie notice will re-appear the next time you load a page here, giving you the chance to accept or decline again.
What about Cloudflare's cookies?
The two Cloudflare cookies (cf_clearance and __cf_bm) are set by Cloudflare's infrastructure to protect this site against automated abuse. They are strictly necessary for the site to work — you cannot opt out of them individually without losing the ability to access the site securely. Full detail is in Cloudflare's own cookie documentation.
Analytics, tracking, and advertising
This website does not use any analytics, tracking, or advertising cookies. There are no Google Analytics, Meta pixels, or advertising trackers of any kind. If we ever add such tools in the future, they will be introduced behind an explicit consent gate and this page will be updated to reflect them.
Where cookies fit in the broader privacy picture
This page covers cookies only. For the full picture — what personal data we collect, why, and how you can exercise your UK GDPR rights — see our privacy policy.
