Cookies
One functional cookie, no analytics cookies, no advertising. Here is the whole list.
Last updated: 11 August 2026
A cookie is a small text file a website stores in your browser, sent back on each later request. Some are needed for a site to function at all; others exist to follow you between sites and build a profile. It is worth knowing which kind you are being asked about.
Only what the site needs to work. We place no analytical, advertising or social-media cookies, and nothing here is shared with a third party for marketing.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
PHPSESSID |
Functional | Standard PHP session cookie. Holds a random per-visit identifier so page views within one visit can be grouped, the contact form's anti-spam answer, and the token that authorises a download. Contains no personal data. | Session — deleted when you close your browser |
pg_no_track |
Functional | Only present if you have asked to be excluded from our visit statistics. Its presence alone stops any page view being recorded. | 12 months, or until you delete it |
Not a cookie: stored in your browser and never sent to a server.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
pg-cookies-ok |
Functional | Remembers that you have seen the cookie notice, so it is not shown on every page. Kept out of a cookie on purpose — remembering that you dismissed a cookie notice should not itself require setting a cookie. | Until you clear your browser data |
None. Every file this site loads — the stylesheets, the icon font, the
JavaScript — is served from pasguard.com, so no other company
sees your IP address or gets a chance to set anything in your browser.
Consent under the GDPR and the ePrivacy rules is required for cookies that are not strictly necessary — analytics, advertising, profiling. We place none of those, so there is no category to accept or refuse and no banner blocking your way. The notice you saw is informational: it tells you what is stored, and closing it changes nothing about what we collect. If we ever add a cookie that does need consent, we will ask before placing it and update this page.
Our visit statistics are produced by our own software on our own server,
record no IP address, and do not rely on a cookie to identify you. To stay
out of them entirely, send a Do Not Track
(DNT: 1) or Global Privacy Control
(Sec-GPC: 1) signal from your browser — we honour both, and
nothing is recorded for that visit.
You can view, block or delete cookies in your browser at any time:
Blocking the session cookie will break the contact form's anti-spam check and the download links, because both rely on it. It will not remove you from the visit statistics — use a DNT or GPC signal for that.
This page is a plain-language summary. The binding Cookie Policy and Privacy Policy govern in case of any difference. See also our privacy summary.
