Cookies and browser storage

Last updated: 15 October 2026

Cookies and tracking

This website does not use advertising, analytics or cross-site tracking technologies.

The companies that host and deliver the website set two strictly necessary cookies when you visit:

• __cf_bm (Cloudflare, which delivers the website): Helps tell genuine visitors from automated bots. It expires after 30 minutes.
• __dpl (Lovable, which hosts the website): Makes sure your browser receives the current version of the website. It expires after 24 hours.

These cookies are needed for the website to work securely. They are not used to identify you, follow you across other websites or for marketing, so they do not need your consent.

Staff sign-in

The administration sign-in service uses local storage in the browser to maintain sign-in sessions. This is used during authentication and password-reset processes; it is not used to track public visitors.

The storage key follows the format sb-<project-id>-auth-token. It is provided through Supabase authentication and stored on this website’s domain. The stored session is updated while sign-in remains active. Local storage has no automatic browser expiry and is removed when staff sign out, complete the password-reset process that signs them out, or clear their browser’s site data.

Application and contact forms

Application and contact forms do not save answers or drafts in cookies, local storage or session storage. Information is sent to CSTF’s server when a form is submitted. Form security does not rely on cookies or browser storage.

Managing browser storage

You can delete or block cookies and site data in your browser settings. Blocking the cookies above may affect how the website loads. Restricting local storage may stop staff sign-in and the administration area from working.

Changes to this notice

We will update this notice if the website’s use of cookies or similar technologies changes. Where required, we will obtain consent or provide a way to object before using additional technologies.
