Cookies used on our site
The table below shows a list of cookies used on our website and explains the way in which the cookies are used.
| Cookie | Type | Duration | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| __cf_bm | Cloudflare | 30 mins | Cloudflare’s bot products identify and mitigate automated traffic to protect our site from bad bots. Cloudflare places the __cf_bm cookie on end-user devices that access customer sites protected by Bot Management or Bot Fight Mode. The cookie is necessary for these bot solutions to function properly. This cookie expires after 30 minutes of continuous inactivity by the end user. The cookie contains information related to the calculation of Cloudflare’s proprietary bot score and, when Anomaly Detection is enabled on Bot Management, a session identifier. The information in the cookie is encrypted and can only be decrypted by Cloudflare. A separate __cf_bm cookie is generated for each site that an end user visits, as Cloudflare does not track users from site to site or from session to session. The __cf_bm cookie is generated independently by Cloudflare, and does not correspond to any user ID or other identifiers in a customer’s web application. |

| _cflb | Cloudflare | session | When enabling session affinity with Cloudflare Load Balancer, Cloudflare sets a _cflb cookie with a unique value on the first response to the requesting client. Cloudflare routes future requests to the same origin, optimizing network resource usage. In the event of a failover, Cloudflare sets a new _cflb cookie to direct future requests to the failover pool. |
