Cookie Policy
Last updated: 12 March 2026
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet or phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners.
2. Our Approach to Cookies
Consulto was designed with privacy in mind. We do not use tracking or advertising cookies.
Unlike many websites, we take a minimalist approach. We use only strictly necessary cookies for the technical operation of the site, and we choose analytics tools that do not use cookies.
3. Cookies We Use
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the site to function and cannot be disabled. They do not collect personal information and do not require consent.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| __cf_bm | Bot protection (Cloudflare) | 30 minutes |
| cf_clearance | Security verification (Cloudflare) | 1 hour |
| sb-access-token | Session management for logged-in users. Keeps the session active. (Supabase) | Session (expires on logout) |
| sb-refresh-token | Automatic session renewal for logged-in users. (Supabase) | Session (expires on logout) |
3.2 Cookies We Do NOT Use
Consulto does not use:
- Advertising cookies
- Behavioural tracking cookies
- Social media cookies
- Analytics cookies that identify individual users
- Third-party cookies for marketing purposes
4. Traffic Analytics
To understand how visitors use our site, we use Cloudflare Web Analytics. This tool was specifically chosen because:
- Does not use cookies
- Does not collect personal data
- Does not track individual users
- Only collects aggregate data (total visit count, popular pages, countries)
- Is privacy-focused by design
This means you do not need to give consent for analytics, as there is no individual tracking.
5. How to Manage Cookies
Even though we only use essential cookies, you can always control cookies through your browser settings:
Browser instructions:
- Google Chrome: Chrome cookie settings
- Mozilla Firefox: Firefox cookie settings
- Safari: Safari cookie settings
- Microsoft Edge: Edge cookie settings
Note: Blocking all cookies may affect the functioning of some websites. Strictly necessary cookies are essential for basic functions such as security and bot protection.
6. Third-Party Cookies
Our site may contain links to other websites. We have no control over the cookies used by those external sites. We recommend that you review the cookie policies of any sites you visit.
If we integrate third-party features in the future that use cookies (e.g. YouTube videos or Google Maps), we will update this policy and, if required, request your consent.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. We recommend that you check this page regularly to stay informed.
