01Summary
This website does not set cookies and does not store anything on your device. It uses no analytics, advertising or social media trackers, and it loads its fonts and scripts from its own server. Consent is only needed for storage that is not strictly necessary (Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive), and there is none here, so the site does not show a cookie banner.
02What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, tracking pixels and device fingerprinting. The rules on cookies apply to all of them.
03This site
This site does not use any of these technologies:
- no cookies of its own;
- no local storage, session storage or IndexedDB;
- no tracking pixels, fingerprinting or analytics scripts.
A short notice says so when you arrive. Closing it stores nothing on your device, so it can appear again on your next visit.
04Security cookies from the hosting provider
The site is hosted by Cloudflare. If Cloudflare's security systems need to check whether traffic is automated, for example during an attack, Cloudflare may set a strictly necessary cookie. These cookies are used only for security. They are not used for tracking or advertising and are exempt from consent.
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
__cf_bm | Cloudflare | Distinguishes people from automated bots. | Expires after 30 minutes of inactivity |
cf_clearance | Cloudflare | Records that you passed a security challenge, so you are not asked again. | Set only after a challenge; short-lived |
_cfuvid | Cloudflare | Applies rate limits fairly to visitors who share an IP address. | Session |
The legal basis is my legitimate interest in keeping the site secure (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). See Cloudflare's cookie reference ↗ for details.
05Third-party services
No third-party content is embedded on this site. Links to other websites, such as LinkedIn, take you to those sites, which may set their own cookies under their own policies once you arrive.
06Your choices
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking Cloudflare's security cookies does not affect normal browsing, but you may be asked to complete a security check more often.
07Changes
If this site ever adds cookies or analytics that are not strictly necessary, I will update this policy and ask for your consent before setting them. Questions: alexander.vershinin@edhec.com. More on personal data in the privacy policy.
