This page explains which cookies and similar browser storage clearcrumb.com uses, why, and how you can change your choice. We use as few as possible. It covers this website only; if you run the ClearCrumb plugin on your own site, your site needs its own cookie policy (the plugin can generate one for you to check and adapt).
Change your choice
Use the cookie settings button in the corner of the page or the Cookie settings link in the footer. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it and takes effect for everything that runs after it. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we honour it as an opt-out.
Cookies we use
| Cookie | Set by | Category | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| clearcrumb_consent | clearcrumb.com | Necessary | Remembers your cookie choice. | 12 months |
| __cf_bm | Cloudflare | Necessary | Tells people from bots to protect the site. | 30 minutes |
| cf_clearance | Cloudflare | Necessary | Only set if Cloudflare shows you a security check; remembers that you passed it. | As set by the security check, usually 30 minutes |
| wordpress_*, wp-settings-* | clearcrumb.com | Necessary | Only for people who log in to the site admin. | Session to 1 year |
Other browser storage
| Name | Type | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
| clearcrumb_region, clearcrumb_country | Session storage | Remember which consent rules apply to your region (for example EU opt-in), so the banner does not ask the server again on every page. Only the region and country code, never your IP address. | When you close the tab |
When you make a choice, a record of it is kept on our server as proof of consent, with a hashed ID and a shortened, hashed IP address. See the Privacy policy.
Our visit statistics (Cloudflare Web Analytics) use no cookies and no identifiers, and they run only after you accept the Statistics category. We do not use advertising cookies. If that changes, they will wait for your consent and appear here.
