Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Cloud Fieldpoint Consulting Ltd utilizes cookies and browser local storage mechanisms when you browse our website.
Last updated: 15 January 2026
1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit a webpage. They enable websites to recall your actions, remember session states, and preserve user preferences over a period of time.
Browser Local Storage operates similarly to cookies by saving key-value data directly in your browser's persistent storage, allowing technical preferences (such as your cookie consent choices) to persist without transmitting data to web servers on every HTTP request.
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
Our website is intentionally built to minimize tracking. We categorize storage mechanisms into two distinct tiers:
- Strictly Necessary Storage: These items are essential for technical operation, navigation security, and recording whether you have accepted or rejected non-essential cookies. These cannot be switched off in our systems.
- Performance & Analytics Tokens: Anonymous, aggregated measurement tokens that assist us in understanding which engineering publications and practice area pages receive readership. We do not use third-party behavioral advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
