SECTION 1 — WHAT ARE COOKIES

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website.

SECTION 5 — STRICTLY NECESSARY COOKIES (CANNOT BE DISABLED)

These cookies are essential for the website to function. Without them, the site cannot operate securely. They do not require your consent under GDPR, UK GDPR, or PECR (Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations). They are set automatically when you visit the site.

Cloudflare cookies (cf_clearance, __cf_bm, __cfruid) are set by our hosting and security infrastructure provider, Cloudflare Inc. These cookies protect our website against DDoS attacks, malicious bots, and automated scraping. They do not collect any personally identifiable information beyond what is technically necessary for security purposes. Cloudflare's privacy policy: https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/

This site does not use a consent cookie because we do not set any non-essential cookies that require consent. Only strictly necessary cookies (covered in Section 5) are used.

SECTION 6 — ANALYTICS

We do not currently use Google Analytics or any other analytics or advertising cookies on this website. No visitor behaviour is tracked via cookies, and no data is shared with Google or any other analytics provider through cookies. If this changes in the future, this policy will be updated and a consent mechanism will be reintroduced before any such cookies are set.

sdfltd.com does not show a cookie consent banner, because we only use strictly necessary cookies, which do not legally require consent under GDPR/UK-GDPR. There is nothing to accept or decline.
