Cookie Policy
Last updated: September 2026
1. What are cookies and browser mechanisms?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your computer or mobile device when you visit. They are commonly used to make websites work efficiently, remember visitor preferences, and provide analytical data to website operators.
Browser mechanisms include technical storage and security protocols (such as session data, local storage, and cryptographic tokens) used by web browsers and security providers to deliver web pages securely and protect against automated abuse.
2. Technologies used on this website
We design our website to respect reader privacy. In its live implementation:
- No analytics cookies: Google Analytics is not currently enabled, and no third-party web analytics cookies are deployed to track individual visitor browsing behaviour.
- No advertising or marketing cookies: We do not deploy advertising cookies, social-media tracking pixels, or behavioural marketing scripts on this website.
- Kit client-side integration: We do not embed Kit's JavaScript tracking or hosted form scripts on this website. Newsletter subscriptions are sent from our server-side backend to Kit through its API, rather than through Kit client-side form code.
- Cloudflare Turnstile: We use Cloudflare Turnstile on our Contact and Newsletter forms strictly for security, bot detection, and spam prevention. Turnstile may use or access technical browser mechanisms necessary to evaluate connection signals and provide its security functionality.
- No Turnstile pre-clearance: The current Turnstile configuration on this website does not have pre-clearance enabled.
- Functional browser storage (31-Day Proverbs Reading Plan): When you use the interactive 31-Day Proverbs Reading Plan, your browser's local storage (localStorage) is used solely to remember which days you have marked complete so your reading progress is preserved between visits. This information remains strictly within your browser on your device, is never transmitted to Naomi Caldwell or any third party, and is not used for analytics, advertising, or tracking. You can remove your stored progress at any time by clicking "Reset progress" on the reading plan page or by clearing your browser's site data. Other interactive features—such as search filters and navigation menus—operate entirely in temporary component memory during your active view and do not write to persistent browser storage.
3. Service summary
The following table outlines the security technology active on interactive forms on this website:
| Service | Purpose | Category |
|---|---|---|
| Cloudflare Turnstile | Bot and spam prevention on website forms | Strictly necessary / security |
Note: Under this website's current implementation, Kit is not listed as a cookie-setting service because Kit's client-side JavaScript is not embedded on the site and newsletter signups are processed server-side.
4. Third-party websites and links
This website includes links to third-party services, such as Amazon (for ordering published paperback books) and online Scripture reference tools. When you visit these external platforms, they may set their own cookies and use their own tracking technologies in accordance with their respective cookie policies. We encourage you to review the cookie notices of any external websites you visit.
5. Managing cookies in your browser
Most modern web browsers allow you to view, manage, block, and delete cookies and local browser storage through their settings. You can consult your browser's help documentation (such as in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge) to customise your cookie preferences. Please note that blocking essential security mechanisms may affect the operation of interactive website forms.
6. Future features and consent requirements
Because the website does not currently deploy non-essential analytics or marketing cookies, a cookie consent banner is not currently presented. If cookies or similar technologies that require consent are introduced in the future, this policy and any required consent controls will be updated before or when those technologies are activated, as appropriate.
7. Changes to this cookie policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect technical updates or legal developments. Any revisions will be published on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
