What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies (such as localStorage) can play the same role. Socket Flowcore uses a small set of them so the site remembers your cookie choice and, if you agree, so we can see which Crash Impact Analytics pages are actually read.
Types we use
Essential. These keep the site usable: remembering whether you accepted or rejected non-essential cookies, and supporting basic security. They do not require consent under our practice, and rejecting analytics does not remove them.
Analytics (optional). These help us understand aggregate traffic — for example, whether the flagship syllabus is opened more often than the journal. They run only if you press Accept on the banner. Rejecting them does not block courses, forms, or legal pages.
Cookies table
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
| socketFlowcore_cookieConsent | Stores your Accept or Reject choice for non-essential cookies so the banner does not return on every visit. | Until you clear localStorage or change the choice | Socket Flowcore (first party, localStorage) |
| sf_session_guard | Short-lived integrity flag used if we need to distinguish automated abuse from ordinary browsing. | Session (deleted when the browser closes) | Socket Flowcore (first party) |
| _sf_page_views | Optional analytics: counts page views in aggregate after consent. Not used to build advertising profiles. | 14 months | Socket Flowcore (first party, only if accepted) |
| fonts.googleapis.com / fonts.gstatic.com | May set cookies or local data when loading display fonts. Required only for typography; the site remains readable with system fonts if blocked. | Varies by Google Fonts | Google Fonts (third party) |
How to manage or disable cookies
On first visit the banner offers Accept and Reject with equal clarity. Your choice is stored under the key socketFlowcore_cookieConsent. To change it, clear that key in localStorage (or clear site data for socket-flowcore.digital) and reload; the banner will return. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, including third-party cookies.
Third-party cookies
We load fonts from Google Fonts. Image hosts such as Unsplash may receive a request when a page image loads; they operate under their own policies. We do not embed advertising networks. If a future studio page includes a video host, we will update this table before that embed goes live.
Impact of disabling
Rejecting analytics or blocking optional cookies does not stop you reading courses, sending the contact form, or opening legal pages. Blocking all cookies and localStorage may make the consent banner reappear every visit. Blocking Google Fonts only changes typography. Essential site functions remain available either way.
