1. Introduction
In simple terms: This policy explains the cookies our website uses. We only use essential security cookies, and our analytics uses no cookies, so there is no cookie banner.
This Cookie Policy was last updated on 29 September 2026 and applies to citizens and legal permanent residents of the United Kingdom.
This Cookie Policy explains how Talastron Ltd (“we”, “our” or “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website at talastron.com (“Website”). Our Website is hosted on the Cloudflare platform, which provides essential security and performance services on our behalf.
We comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018, and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR). Under PECR, we are required to obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device. Our Website places only strictly necessary cookies, and our website analytics uses no cookies or other storage on your device, so we do not need to ask for your consent and do not show a cookie banner.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides full details about how we collect, use, store and protect your personal information.
2. What Are Cookies?
In simple terms: Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites work properly and can remember your preferences.
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to supply information to the owners of the website.
Cookies can be categorised in several ways:
- First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting (in this case, talastron.com).
- Third-party cookies are set by a different domain to the website you are visiting. On our Website, these are set only by our hosting and security provider, Cloudflare.
- Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them.
In addition to cookies, websites may use other similar technologies such as web beacons (small graphic images embedded in web pages), local storage and pixel tags. References to “cookies” in this policy include all such technologies unless stated otherwise. Our Website does not use web beacons, pixel tags or local storage to track you.
3. Cookie Categories We Use
In simple terms: We only use essential cookies. We do not use analytics, marketing or preference cookies.
We use one category of cookie on our Website: essential cookies, which are strictly necessary and do not need your consent. We do not use cookies in any other category.
| Category | Used on our Website? | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Essential (Functional) | Yes. No consent required. | Strictly necessary for the website to function and for security. |
| Statistics (Analytics) | No | Our analytics, Cloudflare Web Analytics, uses no cookies (see Section 5). |
| Marketing | No | We do not use marketing or advertising cookies. |
| Preferences | No | We do not store preferences on your device. |
4. Essential (Functional) Cookies
In simple terms: These cookies are needed for our website to work and to keep it secure. They are set by Cloudflare and are always active.
Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the legitimate purpose of enabling the use of our Website and ensuring protection against cyberattacks. These cookies are always active and do not require your consent under PECR, as the Website cannot function properly without them.
Our Website is hosted on the Cloudflare platform. Cloudflare may set the following essential cookies:
| Cookie Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| __cf_bm | Cloudflare | Bot management. Distinguishes between humans and automated bots to protect the Website from malicious traffic. | 30 minutes |
| cf_clearance | Cloudflare | Security challenge. Records that a visitor has successfully completed a Cloudflare security challenge, preventing repeated challenges. | Up to 1 year (configurable) |
| __cfruid | Cloudflare | Rate limiting. Used to identify trusted web traffic and apply rate-limiting rules to protect the Website from abuse. | Session |
Our enquiry and newsletter forms are protected by Cloudflare Turnstile, a security check that confirms a form is sent by a person and not an automated program. It is strictly necessary to protect the forms.
Cloudflare processes your IP address, HTTP request headers, browser fingerprint data and TLS connection metadata as part of its security and performance services. For full details, see Section 7.1 of our Privacy Policy.
Important: Our Website is hosted on and protected by Cloudflare. It is not built on or hosted by Wix. Any previous references to Wix in earlier versions of this Cookie Policy or our Privacy Policy are superseded by this document.
5. Website Analytics Without Cookies
In simple terms: We count visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics, which uses no cookies and does not identify you.
We measure how our Website is used with Cloudflare Web Analytics. It does not set cookies, does not use local storage or any other storage on your device, and does not use fingerprinting to follow you across websites. It records the page visited, the referring page, browser and device type, and the country a visit comes from, and reports them to us as aggregated statistics. Because nothing is stored on or read from your device for this purpose, it does not require your consent under PECR.
When you send an enquiry, the address of the page changes to /contact/sent/ so that the number of enquiries appears in these statistics. Nothing about you is recorded by this.
6. Marketing Cookies
In simple terms: We do not use marketing cookies.
We do not use marketing or advertising cookies. Our newsletter sign-up is our own form and sets no cookies. Where you have signed up and confirmed, we send our newsletter through Resend, which sets no cookies on our Website, as described in Section 7.2 of our Privacy Policy.
7. Preference Cookies
In simple terms: We do not use preference cookies.
We do not use preference cookies or store your settings on your device.
8. Third-Party Cookies and Services
In simple terms: The only third party that may set cookies on our website is Cloudflare, for security. Its privacy policy also applies.
The only third-party service provider that may set cookies on your device when you visit our Website is Cloudflare, for essential security and performance. The data collected is subject to Cloudflare’s Privacy Policy.
We do not permit any third-party advertising networks to place cookies on our Website. We do not sell or share cookie data with any party for advertising purposes.
9. Consent
In simple terms: Because we only use essential cookies, we do not need your consent and do not show a cookie banner. If that ever changes, we will ask first.
Because our Website sets only strictly necessary cookies, and our analytics uses no cookies or storage on your device, we do not need your consent under PECR and we do not show a cookie consent banner.
If we introduce any cookie that needs your consent, we will ask for it before setting that cookie, you will be able to change or withdraw your choice at any time, and we will update this policy.
10. How to Manage and Delete Cookies

11. International Data Transfers
In simple terms: Some data may be processed outside the UK by Cloudflare. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.
Our hosting and security provider, Cloudflare, may process data in locations outside the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area. Where this occurs, we rely on the following safeguards to ensure your data receives an equivalent level of protection:
- Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the Information Commissioner’s Office.
- The UK Extension to the EU–US Data Privacy Framework, where applicable.
- Adequacy decisions issued by the UK Secretary of State.
- Data Processing Addenda with each service provider.
