Cookie Policy

Overview

This Cookie Policy explains how founder.manarox.com, run by Abdullah Shahid (ASK.dev), uses cookies and similar technologies, why they are needed and how you can control them.

The short version: this website uses only the cookies it needs to work securely. There are no advertising, social media or cross-site tracking cookies.

Summary at a Glance

  • Essential cookies only: Used for sessions, form security and protection against bots.
  • No tracking: No advertising, retargeting or social media cookies.
  • No analytics right now: If analytics are added later, they will only run with your consent.
  • Short-lived: The cookies expire within hours, not months.
  • You're in control: You can block or delete cookies in your browser at any time.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. They let the site remember information between page loads, such as keeping a form secure or recognizing that a request comes from a real visitor.

Similar technologies, such as your browser's local storage, can save small settings on your device. In this policy, "cookies" covers these technologies too.

Cookies This Website Uses

All of the cookies below are strictly necessary. The website can't work securely without them, so they are set automatically.

  1. Session cookie (first-party): Keeps track of your visit between pages so the website and its forms work correctly. It stores a random identifier, not personal details. It expires after about two hours of inactivity.
  2. XSRF-TOKEN (first-party): A security token that protects the contact form from cross-site request forgery, where another site tries to submit forms on your behalf. It expires after about two hours of inactivity.
  3. __cf_bm (Cloudflare): Set by Cloudflare, which protects and speeds up this website. It helps tell real visitors apart from bots and automated attacks. It expires after about 30 minutes.
  4. cf_clearance (Cloudflare, only when needed): Set only if Cloudflare asks your browser to complete a security check. It remembers that you passed, so you aren't asked again straight away.

Preferences Saved on Your Device

The website may save small display settings in your browser's local storage, such as whether animations should be reduced. These settings stay on your device and are never sent to the server or shared with anyone.

Analytics and Optional Cookies

This website does not currently use analytics or any other optional cookies. If anonymous visitor analytics are added in the future:

  • Consent first: They will only run after you agree through a consent banner.
  • Easy to refuse: Declining will be as easy as accepting, and the site will work the same either way.
  • Policy update: This page will be updated to list each new cookie and what it does.

Third-Party Cookies

The only third party that sets cookies on this website is Cloudflare, for security and performance. Its cookies are covered by Cloudflare's Cookie Policy.

Links to external sites such as GitHub, LinkedIn, Packagist or WhatsApp don't set cookies on this website. If you follow them, those sites may set their own cookies under their own policies.

Managing Cookies

You can view, block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time:

  • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies or Site settings
  • Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data
  • Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
  • Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions

If you block essential cookies, you can still read the website, but the contact form may not submit. You can always reach me by email or WhatsApp instead.

Frequently asked questions

Does this website use tracking or advertising cookies?

No. The website uses only essential cookies for sessions, form security and bot protection. There are no advertising, social media or cross-site tracking cookies.

Why is there no cookie consent banner?

Essential cookies that a website needs to work securely do not require consent under most privacy laws. If optional cookies such as analytics are ever added, a consent banner will be added at the same time and those cookies will only run if you accept them.

What happens if I block cookies?

You can still read the website, but the contact form may not submit, because it relies on a security cookie to protect against forged submissions. You can contact me by email or WhatsApp instead.

Do the cookies collect my personal information?

The cookies store random identifiers and security tokens, not your name, email or messages. Cloudflare's bot protection cookie is used only to tell people apart from automated traffic.

How long do the cookies last?

The session and security cookies expire after about two hours of inactivity, and Cloudflare's bot protection cookie lasts about 30 minutes. None of them are kept long term.
