What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device and remember information about your preferences or past actions. Cookies are widely used to make websites function correctly and to provide website owners with information about how their sites are used.
What Cookies Does This Website Use?
This website does not use advertising cookies, tracking cookies or cookies to measure visits. Simply visiting our pages does not place any SimpalUK cookie on your device.
The law on cookies (the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003) also covers similar technologies, such as information a website keeps in your browser’s local storage. The tables below list everything this website, or a service built into it, stores on your device.
Strictly necessary
These are needed for the website to work safely. Because they are strictly necessary, the law does not require your consent for them.
| Name | Set by | Type | How long | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| cf.turnstile.u | Cloudflare Turnstile (challenges.cloudflare.com) | Local storage, on pages with a form (Contact Us and Get Support) | Until you clear your browser data | Protects our forms from spam and automated abuse, so that real applications and messages reach us. |
| wordpress_logged_in_*, wordpress_sec_*, wordpress_test_cookie | simpaluk.org | Cookies, only for SimpalUK staff and volunteers who log in to manage the website | Until the browser closes, or 14 days if “Remember Me” is ticked | Keep staff logged in securely. Visitors to the website never receive these. |
| wp-settings-*, wp-settings-time-* | simpaluk.org | Cookies, only for logged-in staff and volunteers | 1 year | Remember how the website’s admin screens are laid out for that person. |
Only if you choose to play a video
Videos on this website do not load from YouTube until you press play. Until then we show a still image stored on our own website, and nothing is sent to YouTube or stored by it. When you press play, the video loads from YouTube’s privacy-enhanced service (youtube-nocookie.com), and YouTube stores information in your browser to run its video player, including:
| Name | Set by | Type | How long | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| yt-icons-last-purged, ytidb::LAST_RESULT_ENTRY_KEY | YouTube (youtube-nocookie.com) | Local storage | Until you clear your browser data | Used by YouTube to run its video player. |
| YouTube player database | YouTube (youtube-nocookie.com) | Browser database (IndexedDB) | Until you clear your browser data | Used by YouTube to run its video player. |
YouTube may store further information while a video is playing. This is controlled by YouTube, not SimpalUK.
How we measure visits
We use Umami to count visits and see which pages are used. Umami does not use cookies and does not store anything on your device.
How to Manage Cookies and Stored Information

You can control cookies and stored information through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View the cookies and stored information on your device.
- Delete some or all of it.
- Block it for specific websites.
- Block it for all websites.
If you block storage for challenges.cloudflare.com, our forms may not be able to accept your submission. For more information about managing cookies in your browser, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.
