Cookie Policy
Last updated September 28, 2026
In short: we use only the cookies needed to keep payments safe and the site secure. We don't use advertising, social media, or tracking cookies, and our site statistics don't use cookies at all.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Some are essential for a site to work securely, while others track what you do for analytics or advertising. This site uses only the first kind.
Cookies on this site
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
__stripe_mid | Stripe | Payment fraud prevention. Helps Stripe recognize a browser so it can spot fraudulent payments. | 1 year |
__stripe_sid | Stripe | Payment fraud prevention for your current visit. | 30 minutes |
__cf_bm | Cloudflare | Security. May be set to tell people apart from automated bots and protect the site from attacks. | 30 minutes of inactivity |
cf_clearance | Cloudflare | Security. May be set if you complete a Cloudflare security check, so you aren't asked again. | A short period set by Cloudflare |
The two Stripe cookies are set when the registration page loads, because Stripe's payment script runs on that page. When you pay, Stripe's payment form runs on Stripe's own website and may set its own cookies there, under Stripe's cookie policy. Cloudflare describes its cookies in its cookie documentation.
Other technologies we use
- Cloudflare Web Analytics counts visits and page views in aggregate. It does not use cookies or browser storage, and it does not follow you to other sites.
- Cloudflare Turnstile checks that a person, not a bot, is submitting the registration form. It uses signals from your browser for that check only, not for advertising.
- Google Fonts supplies our typefaces. It does not set cookies, but your browser sends your IP address to Google when it downloads the fonts.
- This site does not use your browser's local storage.
Why there's no cookie banner
Consent banners are needed for cookies that aren't essential, such as advertising or tracking cookies. Every cookie on this site is needed for security or to keep payments safe, so we don't show one. If we ever add cookies that aren't essential, we will ask for your consent first.
Controlling cookies
You can block or delete cookies in your browser's settings. If you block Stripe's cookies, card payment may not work. You can still register by check, or call us to register by phone.
Changes to this policy
If the cookies we use change, we will update this page and the date at the top.
