Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies and Local Storage

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Local storage is a similar browser technology that allows websites to store data locally on your device. Both help us provide you with a better experience.

What We Use

Damascus²⁷ uses a minimal amount of browser storage. Specifically:

• Consent Preference (localStorage): We store a record of your cookie consent acknowledgement in your browser's local storage. This is not a cookie, but functions similarly - it remembers that you have seen and accepted this notice so that we do not show it again on subsequent visits.
• Essential / Security (Cloudflare Turnstile): Our contact form uses Cloudflare Turnstile for bot protection. Turnstile may set cookies or use local storage to verify that interactions are from legitimate users. These are strictly necessary for security and cannot be disabled.

We do not use analytics cookies, performance cookies, advertising cookies, or any other non-essential tracking technologies on this website.

Third-Party Services

The only third-party service that may set cookies or use local storage on this website is:

• Cloudflare, Inc.: Provides Turnstile bot protection. For more information on how Cloudflare processes data, refer to the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.

Managing Cookies and Local Storage

You can control and manage cookies and local storage through your browser settings:

• Use your browser settings to block or delete cookies
• Clear local storage via your browser's developer tools or settings
• Use browser extensions that block tracking technologies

Since we only use essential storage for consent and security purposes, blocking these may affect the functionality of our website (e.g. the consent banner may reappear on every visit, or bot protection may not function correctly).

Data Retention

Our consent preference stored in local storage persists until you manually clear your browser data. Cloudflare Turnstile cookies are session-based or short-lived and are managed by Cloudflare in accordance with their privacy policy.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
