Cookie Policy
Last updated: July 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Private DevOps LTD ("PrivateDevOps", "we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at privatedevops.com.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better browsing experience, and supply information to the website owner.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable basic features such as page navigation and access to secure areas of the website. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.
Analytics (no cookies)
We measure traffic with self-hosted analytics that set no cookies and do not use Google Analytics. The tracker writes nothing to your device and reads nothing from it, and you are not tracked across other websites, so no cookie consent is required for our analytics.
To be precise about what that does not mean: the visit record we keep on our own server includes your IP address, alongside a daily-rotating identifier that groups your page views within a single day. An IP address is personal data, so we keep these records on the basis of our legitimate interest in understanding how the site is used, we delete them automatically after 90 days, and we share them with nobody. Your rights over that data, including erasure, are set out on our GDPR page.
Functional Cookies
These cookies enable enhanced functionality, such as remembering your preferences.
We do not currently set functional cookies.
Other Storage on Your Device
Two further things touch your browser's storage, and neither is used to identify or track you:
- On blog, article, news, and case-study pages we store one small key in session storage (for example
pv:article:some-slug) so the view counter for that page counts you once per browsing session instead of on every reload. It holds no personal data and your browser discards it when you close the tab. - A
pd-consentcookie may still exist from an earlier version of this site, when a notice was shown and this recorded that you had dismissed it. We no longer set it and nothing reads it. It expires on its own, and you can delete it at any time along with any other cookie, as described below.
Security and Performance Cookies
Set by Cloudflare, our CDN and security provider, to protect the website from malicious traffic and improve performance.
__cf_bm- bot management. Expires after 30 minutes.cf_clearance- security challenge clearance. Expires after 30 minutes.
3. How to Manage Cookies
You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View what cookies are stored and delete them individually.
- Block third-party cookies.
- Block cookies from specific sites.
- Block all cookies from being set.
- Delete all cookies when you close your browser.
Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may impact your experience on our website, and some features may no longer function as intended.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our website are set by third-party services. We do not control these cookies and recommend reviewing the privacy policies of these third parties:
5. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
