Overview
This Cookie Policy explains how GleamEdge Ltd uses cookies and similar technologies on alophim.com. Alophim is a website brand operated by GleamEdge Ltd.
This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how personal information submitted through the website is collected, used and, where appropriate, referred to a suitable independent excursion or booking provider.
We use a limited number of technologies to deliver and secure the website, remember a visitor's cookie choice, process website requests and understand basic website performance.
At the date of this policy, alophim.com does not intentionally activate cookies or similar browser-storage technologies for behavioural advertising, cross-site tracking, remarketing or personalised advertising.

GleamEdge Ltd is responsible for the website technologies described in this policy. Independent excursion providers, external websites and other third parties may use their own technologies under their own cookie and privacy notices.
Technologies we use
The website may use the following categories:
- Strictly necessary and security technologies required to deliver, protect and operate the website.
- Preference storage used to remember the choice made in the cookie notice.
- Privacy-focused performance measurement used to understand page loading, general traffic patterns and website reliability.
- Form and request-processing technologies used to validate and deliver enquiry submissions.
We do not currently activate optional advertising, remarketing or behavioural-profiling technologies on alophim.com. If this changes, this policy and the website's consent controls must be updated before those technologies are activated where consent is required.
Strictly necessary technologies
Strictly necessary technologies are used where required to provide, secure or maintain the website. They are not used to create advertising profiles.
They may be used to:
- deliver website pages and files;
- protect the website against malicious traffic and automated abuse;
- maintain network and service security;
- remember the cookie-notice choice;
- support form validation and enquiry processing;
- diagnose errors and maintain website availability.
These technologies may operate without separate consent where their use is strictly necessary for a service requested by the visitor or for website security.
Performance measurement
GleamEdge Ltd may use Cloudflare services to deliver, secure and monitor the performance of alophim.com. Cloudflare Web Analytics may process aggregated information about page views, page performance, browser type, device type and referring pages.
Cloudflare Web Analytics is designed to operate without placing an analytics cookie or using local storage to recognise visitors across websites. We use performance information to understand website reliability and improve page delivery, not to build behavioural advertising profiles.
Technical access information may also be processed in server and security logs for fraud prevention, troubleshooting, abuse prevention and website protection.
Advertising and marketing technologies
At the date of this policy, alophim.com does not intentionally use cookies or similar browser-storage technologies for personalised advertising, remarketing, behavioural profiling or cross-site tracking.
The website may be reached through an advertisement. The fact that a visitor arrived from an advertisement does not itself mean that alophim.com stores an advertising cookie.
If optional advertising or conversion-measurement technologies are added, they will not be activated until the required information has been provided and any legally required consent has been obtained. The current technology list and cookie controls will also be updated.
Current cookie and technology list
| Name or technology | Provider | Purpose | Category | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
cacue_cookie_choice |
GleamEdge Ltd / alophim.com | Remembers that the visitor acknowledged the cookie notice so that it does not appear on every page. | Strictly necessary / preference | Up to 6 months |
__cf_bm |
Cloudflare | Helps distinguish legitimate website traffic from automated or malicious activity where Cloudflare bot-management controls are active. | Strictly necessary / security | Usually up to 30 minutes after the last activity |
cf_clearance |
Cloudflare | May be set after a visitor completes a Cloudflare security challenge so that the challenge does not need to be repeated immediately. | Strictly necessary / security | For the security period configured by Cloudflare |
| Cloudflare Web Analytics beacon | Cloudflare | Measures aggregated page traffic, loading performance and website reliability without storing an analytics identifier in a browser cookie or local storage. | Performance measurement | No browser analytics identifier stored by the beacon |
| Server and security logs | GleamEdge Ltd and its hosting or security providers | Records technical request information for security, error diagnosis, fraud prevention and service availability. | Strictly necessary / security | Normally no longer than 30 days, unless a longer period is required to investigate an incident, establish or defend legal claims, or comply with law |
A particular Cloudflare security cookie will only appear where the relevant security feature or challenge is triggered. The exact technologies present may also depend on the hosting and security configuration in use when a visitor accesses the website.
Third-party providers
We may use Cloudflare for content delivery, website security, traffic protection and performance measurement. When a visitor accesses alophim.com, Cloudflare may process technical information required to provide those services.
Hosting, form-delivery and security providers may also process limited technical information where needed to operate the website or deliver an enquiry.
External websites and independent excursion providers are not controlled by alophim.com. If a visitor follows a link to another website, that website may use its own cookies and similar technologies. Visitors should review the privacy and cookie information supplied by that third party.
Your choices
At present, the website cookie notice records acknowledgement of the essential technologies described in this policy. Strictly necessary technologies cannot be disabled through the website because they are required for security and core operation.
A visitor can remove the saved cookie-notice choice at any time by clearing cookies and local storage for alophim.com in the browser. The website may then display the notice again.
Because Cloudflare Web Analytics is designed not to use an analytics cookie or local storage to recognise visitors, clearing browser cookies will not necessarily prevent the transmission of aggregated, privacy-focused page-performance information.
Browser controls
Most browsers allow visitors to view, delete or block cookies and clear local storage. These controls are normally found in the privacy or security settings of the browser.
Blocking all cookies may affect security checks, saved preferences, forms or other core website functions.
Changes to this Cookie Policy
GleamEdge Ltd may update this Cookie Policy when website technologies, service providers, legal obligations or consent requirements change. The current revision date will be shown at the beginning of this policy.
Where a material change affects optional cookies or consent choices, the website may ask visitors to review their preferences again.
