The Short Version
CoffeeBase uses minimal, essential cookies only. We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or any third-party marketing tools. Your browsing experience is not monetized.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser when you visit a website. They serve various purposes, from remembering preferences to enabling security features. Not all cookies are equal — some are essential for a site to function, while others exist solely for tracking and advertising.
Cookies We Use
Essential / Security Cookies
These cookies are set by our CDN provider, Cloudflare, and are necessary for the site to function properly and securely.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
__cf_bm | Cloudflare | Bot management — distinguishes humans from automated traffic | 30 minutes |
cf_clearance | Cloudflare | Security challenge clearance — prevents repeated CAPTCHA prompts | Up to 1 year |
These cookies contain no personal information and cannot be used to identify or track you across websites.
Cookies We Do Not Use
- x Advertising cookies — We do not run ads and have no advertising partners
- x Tracking cookies — We do not track individual users across pages or sessions
- x Social media cookies — We do not embed social media widgets that set cookies
- x Preference cookies — We do not currently store user preferences via cookies
- x Google Analytics — We use Cloudflare Analytics, which does not use cookies
Analytics Without Cookies
Our analytics provider, Cloudflare Web Analytics, is designed to measure site performance and usage patterns without setting cookies or collecting personal data. It operates entirely on anonymized, aggregated data processed at the edge.
Managing Cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Since we only use essential security cookies, disabling them may result in reduced functionality (for example, you may encounter more frequent security challenges from Cloudflare).
