Last updated: October 4, 2026

PhippsHeritage.com uses a minimal number of cookies and similar technologies. This policy explains what they are and why we use them.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. They help websites remember information about your visit. Some cookies are set by the site you are visiting ("first-party"), and others are set by services the site uses ("third-party").

Cookies We Use

1. Theme Preference (First-Party)

When you switch between light and dark mode using the toggle on our site, we save your choice in your browser's local storage so the site looks the way you prefer on your next visit.

Local storage Remembers your light/dark mode preference Until you clear your browser data

This is strictly a convenience feature. The site works normally without it — it will simply follow your device's system setting.

2. Cloudflare Turnstile (Third-Party)

Our Family Response Form uses Cloudflare Turnstile to verify that submissions come from real people, not automated bots. Turnstile may set cookies or use similar technologies to perform this verification.

Managing Cookies

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies, and you can clear local storage in your browser's privacy or site-data settings. Blocking Cloudflare's cookies may prevent you from submitting the Family Response Form, but the rest of the site will work normally.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy if we add or remove technologies. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
