About this policy
This Cookies Policy explains how F10 Solutions Limited (“F10 Solutions”, “we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on this website. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal data more generally.
We have designed this website to respect your privacy. We do not use advertising cookies, we do not use tracking cookies and we do not build profiles of visitors.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to keep them secure and to provide information to website owners.
Similar technologies, such as local storage and scripts that read information from your browser, can serve comparable purposes. In this policy, we use “cookies” to refer to all of these technologies.
Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), websites must ask for your consent before using cookies, except where they are strictly necessary to provide a service you have requested or to keep a website secure.
Our approach
We keep our use of cookies to a minimum:
- No advertising cookies: we do not show adverts or share data with advertising networks
- No tracking cookies: we do not track you across other websites or build a profile of your browsing
- No social media tracking: we do not embed social media tracking pixels
- Cookieless analytics: we measure website usage without setting cookies
- Strictly necessary only: the only cookies that may be set are those needed to keep the website secure and protect our contact form from spam
Because we only use strictly necessary technologies, we do not display a cookie consent banner.
Strictly necessary cookies
Our website is hosted and protected by Cloudflare. To keep the website secure and available, Cloudflare may set a small number of strictly necessary cookies. These help to:
- Distinguish genuine visitors from automated bots and malicious traffic
- Protect the website against attacks, such as denial-of-service attempts
- Remember that your browser has passed a security check, so you are not asked repeatedly
Examples include the __cf_bm cookie, which supports bot management and usually expires after 30 minutes, and the cf_clearance cookie, which records that a security challenge has been passed. These cookies do not identify you personally and are not used for tracking or advertising.
Spam protection on our contact form
Our contact form uses Cloudflare Turnstile to protect against spam and automated abuse. Turnstile checks signals from your browser to confirm that a real person is submitting the form, usually without asking you to solve a puzzle.
Turnstile is designed to be privacy-preserving. It is not used for advertising and does not track you across websites. Any information it processes or stores on your device is used only to verify that the submission is genuine, which we consider strictly necessary to provide the contact form securely.
Analytics
We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand how our website is used, such as which pages are most visited and how visitors find us. This helps us improve the content and performance of the site.
Cloudflare Web Analytics is cookieless. It does not place cookies on your device, does not use local storage for tracking, and does not use techniques such as fingerprinting to identify individual visitors. The information we see is aggregated and does not identify you.
Third-party links
Our website may link to other websites, such as those of our technology partners or professional bodies. These websites have their own cookie and privacy policies, which we do not control. We recommend reviewing their policies when you visit them.
How to control cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View the cookies stored on your device and delete them individually or all at once
- Block cookies from particular websites or from all websites
- Block third-party cookies
- Clear all cookies when you close your browser
Guidance is available in the help section of your browser, or at independent resources such as allaboutcookies.org.
Please note that if you block strictly necessary cookies, some parts of the website, including the contact form, may not work as intended.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time, for example if we change the technologies we use. The latest version will always be available on this page, with the date it was last updated shown above.
