Cookies Notice
Typefolk uses small files and similar technologies which help the site to perform necessary functionality and, if you allow it, help to collect information about how you browse and navigate the site so improvements can be made. Cookies are saved to your device by your browser. Typefolk also uses your browser's local storage, which works in a similar way, and this notice covers both.
All About Cookies.org provides detailed information on cookies if you would like further insight.
Typefolk uses cookies and similar technologies for a few select reasons:
- To remember your choice in the cookie consent box, and notices you have closed.
- To help keep community scoring of entries fair.
- To protect the site's forms from spam and automated abuse.
- To process payments for premium entries.
- If you accept them, to obtain anonymised analytical information about how you use the site through the third party Google Analytics, allowing for changes and improvements to be made based upon browsing activity.
Your Choices
Necessary cookies and storage are always on, as the site cannot work properly without them. Google Analytics cookies are only set if you select "I Accept Cookies" in the cookie consent box. You can change your choice at any time using the cookie settings button in the corner of every page. If you withdraw consent, Typefolk stops Google Analytics and removes its cookies.
You can also block or delete cookies and local storage in your browser settings. If you block necessary cookies or storage, parts of the site such as the forms may not work.
Necessary Typefolk Storage
These items are stored in your browser's local storage by Typefolk. They are not sent to Typefolk and stay on your device until they expire or you clear them.
tf_consent: remembers your response to the cookie consent box. Kept until you change your choice or clear your browser storage.tf-banner-dismissed: remembers that you closed the announcement bar at the top of the site, so it is not shown again. Kept until you clear your browser storage.tf_scored_entry_followed by the entry's number: remembers that you have scored an entry, to help keep community scoring fair by allowing one score per entry. Kept for 8 days.
Necessary Spam Protection (Cloudflare Turnstile)
The forms on Typefolk (contact, judge applications, award entries and community scoring) are protected by Cloudflare Turnstile, a service from Cloudflare, Inc. When you visit a page with a form, Turnstile runs a check in your browser to tell people apart from automated programs, and may read or store information on your device to do so. Turnstile only loads on pages with a form, and is needed to send a form, so it cannot be switched off. Cloudflare describes how it handles this information in its Privacy Policy.
Necessary Payment Cookies (PayPal)
Premium entries are paid for using PayPal. When the payment page loads the PayPal buttons, PayPal may set its own cookies to process your payment securely and prevent fraud. These cookies are only set on the payment page and are controlled by PayPal. More information is available in PayPal's Cookie Statement.
Anonymised Google Analytics Cookies
