Cookie policy

Last updated October 14, 2026

backpocket.cc uses Cloudflare as its content delivery network (CDN) and security provider. Cloudflare may place cookies on your device when you visit this site. I do not use any third-party advertising, analytics, or tracking cookies.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide security functionality.

Which cookies do I use?

The only cookies set on backpocket.cc are placed by Cloudflare for security purposes. These cookies are strictly necessary for the operation and protection of this site. They are not used to track you, build a profile of your activity, or identify you personally.

__cf_bm

Purpose
Enables Cloudflare's bot detection to distinguish legitimate human visitors from automated bots. The cookie contains encrypted information used to calculate Cloudflare's bot score. It does not correspond to any user identifier on this site.
Duration
30 minutes of inactivity
Type
Strictly necessary (security)

cf_clearance

Purpose
Stores proof that a visitor has passed Cloudflare's JavaScript-based verification. This prevents the same visitor from being repeatedly challenged. Tied to the specific device and not reusable across machines.
Duration
30 minutes by default (set by the Cloudflare challenge settings)
Type
Strictly necessary (security)

Are these cookies optional?

No. These cookies are required for the security and proper functioning of this site. Without them, Cloudflare cannot protect the site from automated bot traffic. They are classified as “strictly necessary” under most privacy regulations (including the EU ePrivacy Directive and the UK PECR) and do not require prior consent.

Do these cookies track me?

No. Cloudflare generates a separate __cf_bm cookie for each site you visit and does not track users from site to site or from session to session. The cookie does not contain personal data and is not linked to any user account or identifier on this site. The information in the cookie (other than time-related data) is encrypted and can only be decrypted by Cloudflare.

How can I manage or delete these cookies?

Because these cookies are strictly necessary for security, disabling them may cause Cloudflare to treat your requests as potentially automated and could result in challenge pages or blocked access. If you wish to remove them, you can:

  • Clear cookies for backpocket.cc in your browser settings.
  • Use your browser's private/incognito mode, which deletes cookies when you close the window.

Changes to this policy

I may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
