Cookie policy

Cookies are small files that websites save in your browser. This page explains what our website stores, and what it doesn't.

The short version

  • We don't use advertising, tracking or analytics cookies.
  • We save two small things in your own browser to make the site easier to use. They stay on your device.
  • You can remove them at any time by clearing your browser's data for this site.

1. Cookies we use

ShieldKid's own website does not set cookies for visitors. Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, may set a strictly necessary security cookie to protect the site from automated attacks. It doesn't track you or tell us who you are. ShieldKid staff who sign in to our private admin pages get a sign-in cookie, which is needed for that sign-in to work.

We also count visits to see which pages and resources help people most. This works without cookies and without saving anything on your device. Our privacy policy explains exactly what is counted.

2. What we save in your browser

Instead of cookies, the site saves two small pieces of information in your browser's storage, on your own device:

  • Your download details (name, email and role), after you fill in the form to download a free resource. This means you don't have to fill it in again next time. A copy of what you sent is also kept by ShieldKid, as our privacy policy explains.
  • The country you chose on the Get help page, so the right emergency numbers show next time you visit.

These stay on your device. We can't read them from our side.

3. Other services the site uses

Our fonts are loaded from Google Fonts. To deliver them, Google receives your IP address, as with any visit to a website. We do not embed social media feeds, advertising or tracking tools.

4. How to remove what we store

Clear your browser's data or site data for shieldkidfoundation.org. Your browser's settings or help pages explain how. On the download form, you can also choose "Not you? Use different details" to enter new details.
