What are cookies?


A cookie is a small text file that may be placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit one of our websites. We, and some third-party service providers, use cookies on our websites. Some are persistent cookies (cookies that remain on your hard drive for an extended period of time) and some are session ID cookies (cookies that expire when you close your browser).

We also use other tracking technologies like web beacons (sometimes called “tracking beacons” or “clear gifs”) and local storage. These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognise when someone has visited our websites or opened an email that we have sent them.

You can find more information about cookies at http://www.allaboutcookies.org/ and www.youronlinechoices.com/.

How we use cookies

Cookie Name Description
XSRF-TOKEN CSFR cookie. This cookie is primarily sent as a convenience since some JavaScript frameworks.
__cfduid The __cfduid cookie is used to identify individual clients behind a shared IP address and apply security settings on a per-client basis. For example, if the visitor is in a coffee shop where there are a bunch of infected machines, but the specific visitor’s machine is trusted (e.g. because they’ve completed a challenge within your Challenge Passage period), the cookie allows CloudFlare to identify that client and not challenge them again. It does not correspond to any user ID in web application, and does not store any personally identifiable information.
__stripe_mid Stripe is used to make credit card payments. Stripe uses a cookie to remember who you are and to enable Wascle to process payments without storing any credit card information on its own servers.
__utma Used to distinguish users and sessions. The cookie is created when the javascript library executes and no existing __utma cookies exists. The cookie is updated every time data is sent to Google Analytics.
