About cookies and local storage

Like many other websites, this website and the included third party content rely on storing data in cookies and browser’s local storage.

Cookies

According to Wikipedia, an HTTP cookie (also called web cookie, Internet cookie, browser cookie, or simply cookie) is a small piece of data sent from a website and stored on the user’s computer by the user’s web browser while the user is browsing. Cookies are sent to their originating server on each request made by the browser.

Local storage

According to Wikipedia, browser’s local storage can also contain data but is only available for client-side scripting. The data available in local storage is not automatically transmitted to the server in every HTTP request. However, this can be achieved with explicit client side scripts.

Cloudflare _cfduid cookie

This website is served through Cloudflare CDN infrastructure and therefore requires the use of _cfduid cookie.According to Cloudflare documentation:

The _cfduid cookie helps Cloudflare detect malicious visitors to our Customers’ websites and minimizes blocking legitimate users. It may be placed on the devices of our customers’ End Users to identify individual clients behind a shared IP address and apply security settings on a per-client basis. It is necessary for supporting Cloudflare’s security features.

The _cfduid cookie collects and anonymizes End User IP addresses using a one-way hash of certain values so they cannot be personally identified. The cookie is a session cookie that expires after 30 days.

The _cfduid cookie does not:

• allow for cross-site tracking,
• follow users from site to site by merging various _cfduid identifiers into a profile, or
• correspond to any user ID in a Customer’s web application.
