Cookie policy

Last updated: 28 September 2026

This website uses no analytics, no tracking scripts and no marketing cookies, and it loads nothing from other websites. This page explains what happens when you visit michaelandersen.net.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device (computer, tablet or phone). They can be used for many things, from remembering your preferences to following you across the web.

This website does not set any cookies of its own. That is also why there is no cookie banner: there is nothing to consent to.

No tracking or analytics

The site does not use Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel or any other analytics or tracking service. I don’t collect data about how you browse, and I don’t build visitor profiles.

Cloudflare

The website is served through Cloudflare, which provides security and performance services. In some situations, Cloudflare may set these cookies on your device:

CookiePurposeExpiry
cf_clearanceSet after a visitor passes a Cloudflare security check. It is only set if Cloudflare decides that extra verification is needed to protect the website.Up to 1 year
__cf_bmUsed by Cloudflare’s bot management to tell people apart from automated traffic.30 minutes

These cookies are strictly necessary for security, so they do not require consent. They don’t track what you do and are not used for marketing or analytics. Most visitors never receive them. You can read how Cloudflare handles data in its privacy policy.

Links to other websites

Links to Substack, Gumroad, Amazon and social networks take you to those services. Their own cookie and privacy policies apply there.
