Privacy Policy

Capturing Cambridge makes use of browser cookies  for a number of purposes as detailed below.

Cookies are small files of information that a web server generates and sends to a web browser. Web browsers store the cookies they receive for a predetermined period of time, or for the length of a user’s session on a website. They attach the relevant cookies to any future requests the user makes of the web server.

Capturing Cambridge is run by the Museum of Cambridge and the Museum’s Privacy Policy covers use of your private data if you use the forms on the Contact or Donate pages.

Necessary Cookies

We set cookies (first-party cookies) or use session storage on your device to store the following information:

  • that you have been verified as a real person by Cloudflare Turnstile so we can show you the map
  • the current map style and zoom level
  • the current project being browsed so that the page Forward and Back buttons progress through the correct project
  • that you’ve been shown the donation popup and it should not be shown again for a week
  • if you have declined to allow our analytics to log your visit (see below for more information)

None of these cookies store any personal data.

Third party components on the website may also set cookies.

YouTube/Vimeo players

On this site YouTube and Vimeo players don’t load automatically when you visit a page, only when you click on them to start playback. At this point they may set a number of cookies to allow them to operate and to gather data (YouTube cookies, Vimeo cookies).

BeaconCRM

When you visit the Donate page an embedded page from BeaconCRM loads and sets its own cookies to allow it to operate.

Cloudflare

We use Cloudflare Turnstile to verify that a real person is accessing the site and not a bot in two cases:

  • Before loading the map
  • When submitting the form on the Contact page

Cloudflare may store cookies and use session storage to allow this process to operate – see the Turnstile Privacy Addendum for details.

Umami Analytics

We make use of software from Umami to log which pages you visit so we can understand how the site is used and help us improve it in future. The Umami analytics are self-hosted and use no cookies or other browser storage. In other words the only people who can see the (anonymised) data about your visit is the Museum of Cambridge.
