Cookie Policy
What we store on your device, why, and how to stay in control of it.
Last updated: 6 August 2026
This policy explains how blackfootuk.com uses cookies and similar technologies, what each one is for, and how you can control them. For how we handle personal data more generally, see our Privacy Notice.
You don’t have to accept anything beyond what’s strictly necessary. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time using the button below or the Cookie settings link in the footer of every page.
Strictly necessary
Always active. These keep the site secure and working, including spam protection on our contact form. They can’t be switched off.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
bf_consent | Blackfoot (this site) | Remembers your cookie choices so we don’t ask again. | 180 days |
__cf_bm | Cloudflare | Bot-detection used by Cloudflare Turnstile, the spam check on our contact form. | 30 minutes |
bf_utm | Blackfoot (this site) | Briefly holds the campaign link (UTM tags / Google click id) that brought you here, so that if you send us an enquiry we can see which campaign it came from. Stored in your browser for the session only, first-party, and never used to track you across other sites. | Session (cleared when you close the tab) |
Analytics
Set only if you accept. Google Analytics helps us understand which pages and services people find useful. Until you accept, Google Analytics runs in a restricted mode that stores nothing on your device and sends only aggregated, cookieless measurement.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Distinguishes visitors to measure how the site is used. | 2 years | |
_ga_2SLXGRT79J | Maintains Google Analytics 4 session state. | 2 years |
Marketing
Set only if you accept. We use Apollo.io to recognise which organisations are visiting the site and which pages they read, so that our team can follow up with businesses that may be a fit for our services. Apollo matches the internet address you connect from to a company; it does not tell us who you are personally. These entries are stored in your browser’s local storage rather than as cookies, but we ask for your consent in exactly the same way. We do not currently run advertising cookies. When we introduce advertising measurement (for example Google Ads), cookies such as _gcl_au (Google, 90 days) would appear here, and only if you allow this category.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
apolloAnonId | Apollo.io | A random identifier for your browser, so repeat visits can be recognised as the same visitor. It contains no personal details. | Until you withdraw consent or clear your browser storage |
68930a65a71b2e001df2cbfe_eventQueue | Apollo.io | Briefly holds the pages you have viewed while they are sent to Apollo, so nothing is lost if a request fails. | Cleared as events are sent |
68930a65a71b2e001df2cbfe_canTrack | Apollo.io | Remembers Apollo’s answer to whether this visit may be tracked, so the check is not repeated on every page. | 24 hours |
We ask for your consent before setting any analytics or marketing cookies, in line with UK PECR and GDPR. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it: use Cookie settings in the footer, or the button at the top of this page. Questions? Get in touch.
