Cookie Policy

Effective 1 January 2026 · Last updated 27 May 2026

1. What are cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies we use on circus.app, why we use them, and how you can control them. It does not cover cookies set by the Circus mobile app.

2. Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are required for the site to function securely. They are set without consent.

We also store your cookie consent preference in your browser’s localStorage (not a cookie) so you are not asked again on subsequent visits.

3. Cloudflare Web Analytics

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to measure aggregate traffic on circus.app. This service is cookieless — it does not set any cookies and does not use localStorage. It collects only anonymised, aggregate page view data. No personal data is transmitted beyond what is included in a standard HTTP request (IP address, user agent), and Cloudflare does not use this data to build individual profiles. This analytics service operates without consent under PECR and GDPR.

4. Optional analytics and advertising cookies

These cookies are only set if you accept optional cookies via the consent banner. If you reject optional cookies, none of the following are loaded or set.

All fonts used on circus.app are self-hosted. No font files are loaded from Google Fonts or any external font CDN. Your browser does not contact Google or any font service when visiting this site.

6. Your choices

  • Consent banner: On your first visit, a banner lets you accept or decline optional cookies. You can change your choice at any time by clicking “Cookie settings” in the footer.
  • Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. See your browser’s help pages for instructions. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the site from working.
  • Google Analytics opt-out: Install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
