Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how the Ice Falcons Hockey Team ("we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website ("Site"). By using our Site, you agree to the use of cookies as described in this policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device — computer, smartphone or tablet — by websites you visit. They help websites recognize your device and store certain information about your preferences or actions over time.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
- Essential cookies. These are necessary for the Site to function properly and to protect our forms from automated abuse.
- Performance and analytics cookies. These help us understand how visitors interact with our Site, track usage and analyze Site performance. This information helps us improve the Site.
- Functional cookies. These allow us to remember your preferences and provide enhanced features, such as the Instagram feed on our home page.
3. Cookies Set by This Site
The table below lists the cookies currently in use and who sets them.
| Cookie | Set by | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| __cf_bm | Cloudflare (Turnstile) | Essential | Distinguishes people from automated traffic so our contact forms are not abused | 30 minutes |
| cf_clearance | Cloudflare (Turnstile) | Essential | Records that a visitor has passed a security check, so they are not challenged again | Set by our security configuration |

Messages you send through our forms are delivered by SMTP2GO. That happens between our server and theirs, so it places no cookies on your device. See our Privacy Policy for how that information is handled.
4. Third-Party Cookies
We allow third-party service providers, such as analytics services and the provider of our Instagram feed, to set cookies on our Site. These cookies collect information to provide insights into Site traffic and user behavior, and to display embedded content. The Instagram feed on our home page loads content from Instagram, which may set its own cookies once that content is displayed.
5. Your Cookie Choices
You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View the cookies stored on your device and delete them
- Block cookies from specific sites or all sites
- Set preferences for notifications about cookie use
Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of our Site and limit your user experience. Blocking essential cookies may prevent our contact forms from working.
6. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices. Updates will be posted on this page with the updated revision date.
