Cookie policy

Valoroath sets no analytics or advertising cookies. Below is exactly what may be stored in your browser when you use the site, and how to remove it.

Last updated

The short version

  • No analytics cookies, no advertising cookies, no tracking pixels from ad networks.
  • One small setting in your browser’s local storage remembers that you closed the cookie notice.
  • On pages with a form, Cloudflare Turnstile checks that a person, not a bot, is using the form, and Cloudflare may store what it needs for that check.

What is stored in your browser

When you close the cookie notice, the site saves your choice in your browser’s local storage under the key valoroath-cookie-notice, so the notice does not appear on every page. This value stays on your device. It is not sent to us and does not identify you.

Cloudflare Turnstile on form pages

Turnstile is a bot check made by Cloudflare. It runs on the pages that have a form: the coverage review form on /coverage-review and at the end of articles and calculators, the form on the contact page and the newsletter page. To tell people from automated programs, Turnstile looks at signals from your browser and may set or read what it needs for that purpose. It is not used to track you across sites or for advertising. Cloudflare describes how it handles this information in its privacy policy.

What does not use cookies

Visits from our emails

If you arrive from one of our emails through a link ending in a #cid= campaign code, the page sends a short report to our own /collect address with the code, the page and the time, so our email platform can count the visit. This report uses no cookie and stores nothing in your browser.

Links in our emails go through a short address on valoroath.com. When you click one, our server passes your IP address and browser headers to our email service provider, which records the click and returns the page to open. No cookie is set.

Calculators

The calculators do their work in your page. They do not save your numbers in cookies.

The privacy policy explains what these reports contain and who receives them.

How to remove what is stored

You can clear the cookie notice setting and anything Turnstile stored by deleting the site data for valoroath.com in your browser:

  • Chrome and Edge: Settings, then Privacy and security (Edge: Cookies and site permissions), then the option to see site data; find valoroath.com and delete it.
  • Firefox: Settings, then Privacy & Security, then Cookies and Site Data, Manage Data; remove valoroath.com.
  • Safari: Settings (or Preferences), then Privacy, then Manage Website Data; remove valoroath.com.

Menu names change between browser versions; your browser’s help pages have the current steps. If you clear the data, the cookie notice will show again on your next visit. If you block storage for the site, the notice may appear on every page, and Turnstile may ask you to complete an extra check before a form can be sent.

Changes

If we ever add a new kind of storage, cookie or tracking tool, we will update this page and its date before it goes live. Questions: [email protected] or the contact page.
