Cloudflare and security
CountdownHub UK uses Cloudflare to help deliver and protect the websites.
Cloudflare may process IP addresses, request details, network information and security signals in order to route traffic, detect malicious activity, block attacks, prevent abuse and maintain the availability of the service.
This security processing may take place automatically when a visitor connects to a CountdownHub UK website. Security technologies that are necessary to protect the service do not depend on optional analytics consent.
Server and security logs
CountdownHub UK infrastructure and service providers may create technical or security logs containing information such as request times, IP addresses, requested resources, browser information and detected security events.
These records may be used for troubleshooting, security investigation, abuse prevention and protection of the service.
Cookies and browser storage
CountdownHub UK may use essential browser storage for functions such as remembering privacy preferences, saved countdowns, recently viewed events or other website preferences.
Essential security and operational technologies may also be used where they are necessary to provide and protect the websites.
The privacy preference itself is stored in your browser so that the website can remember that you have already seen the notice.

Optional third-party analytics cookies are not currently enabled by this privacy system.
If optional analytics or similar non-essential technologies are introduced in future, CountdownHub UK will update this notice and request the appropriate choice before activating them where required.
