Cookie Policy
Last updated 13 October 2026
This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies (like your browser's local storage) used on thecherryfocus.com, and how you can control them. For more on how we handle personal data, see our Privacy Policy.
01What cookies are
Cookies are small files a website saves in your browser. Local storage works in a similar way. They let a site remember things, such as your choices or whether you've visited before. In this policy we call all of these "cookies".
02Your choice
The first time you visit, we show a banner where you can Accept or Reject cookies. Strictly necessary cookies always run because the site needs them to work. Everything else depends on your choice:
- In the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, analytics and advertising cookies only run if you accept.
- Elsewhere, our own analytics runs by default and stops as soon as you reject it. Advertising cookies from Google or Meta always wait for you to accept.
You can change your mind at any time with Cookie settings at the bottom of every page. You can also delete cookies or block them in your browser settings, though some parts of the site may then not work as intended.
03Cookies we use
| Name | Type | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| cf_consent | Strictly necessary | Remembers whether you accepted or rejected cookies | Until you clear it or change your choice |
| cf_region | Strictly necessary | Remembers whether we need to ask for your consent in your country | Until you clear it |
| cf_offer, cf_offer_t | Functional | Remembers whether you've seen or closed our free landing page pop-up, so it doesn't keep appearing | Until you clear it / until you close the tab |

| cf_vid | Analytics | A random ID that tells us whether you've visited before | Until you clear it or reject cookies |
| cf_sid, cf_last | Analytics | A random visit ID and the time of your last activity, so we can group the pages you see into one visit (a visit ends after 30 minutes of inactivity) | Until you clear it or reject cookies |
| cf_admin | Strictly necessary | Keeps our own team signed in to the private dashboard. Never set for visitors | 7 days |
Our analytics is our own. It runs on our website, and the data stays in our database. It is not shared with Google, Meta or any other analytics company.
04Advertising cookies
To measure our ads, we may add tools from Google (such as the Google tag) and Meta (such as the Meta Pixel). If we do, they set their own cookies, for example _gcl_au from Google and _fbp from Meta. These only load after you accept. They help us see which ads lead to enquiries, and let us show our ads to people who have visited our site. Google and Meta control these cookies under their own policies:
We'll keep the table above up to date if we add or remove any cookies.
