Cookie Policy
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser when you visit a website. They allow the website to remember information about your visit, such as your security status or preferences. Cookies cannot access other files on your device or execute code.
2. Cookies We Use
PureRetroLegends uses only strictly necessary cookies. These are cookies required for the basic operation of the website — specifically for security and performance through our infrastructure provider, Cloudflare. We do not use advertising cookies, social media tracking cookies, or behavioural analytics cookies.
The following cookies may be set by Cloudflare when you visit this Website:
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
__cf_bm |
Bot management — distinguishes between human visitors and automated traffic to protect the site from malicious activity. | 30 minutes | Cloudflare |
cf_clearance |
Security clearance — records that a visitor has passed a security challenge, preventing repeated challenges during the same session. | Up to 1 year | Cloudflare |
__cflb |
Load balancing — ensures your requests are consistently routed to the same server for a stable browsing experience. | Session | Cloudflare |
We also set a first-party cookie to remember your cookie consent preference:
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
prl_cookie_consent |
Stores your cookie consent choice (accepted or rejected) so the banner is not shown on every page visit. | 365 days (accepted) / 90 days (rejected) | PureRetroLegends (first-party) |
3. Legal Basis — PECR Exemption
Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), cookies that are strictly necessary for providing a service explicitly requested by the user are exempt from the requirement to obtain consent. The Cloudflare cookies listed above fall within this exemption as they are necessary for the secure delivery of this Website. We therefore do not require your consent to set these cookies, though we provide a notice banner for transparency.
4. Google Fonts
This Website uses Google Fonts to load typography. When your browser loads a page, it may send a request to Google's servers to download font files. This request may include your IP address. Google Fonts does not set cookies, but the network request may be visible in browser developer tools.
If you wish to prevent any requests to Google's servers, you can use a browser extension such as uBlock Origin. We may migrate to self-hosted fonts in a future update to eliminate this entirely.
5. What We Do NOT Use
PureRetroLegends does not use:
- Advertising or targeting cookies
- Social media tracking cookies or pixels
- Analytics cookies that track individual users (e.g. Google Analytics)
- Any cookies set by third-party affiliate or advertising networks
