Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Prism CFOs (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website at https://www.prismcfos.com (the “Site”). It describes what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights regarding their use.
This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use.
Our Approach to Cookies
We have designed our Site to minimize the use of cookies and tracking technologies. We do not use any analytics cookies, advertising trackers, or third-party tracking scripts. The only cookies or tracking technologies that may be present on the Site are those that are strictly necessary for the Site to function or those set by our hosting provider (Cloudflare) for security and performance purposes.
What Are Cookies and Trackers?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to site owners. Other similar technologies such as web beacons, pixels, and local storage are collectively referred to as “trackers” in this policy.
“First-party” trackers are set by us directly. “Third-party” trackers are set by external services. We have minimized our use of third-party services to reduce your exposure to third-party trackers.
Trackers Present on Our Site
Strictly Necessary Trackers (Cloudflare)
Our Site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare may set cookies that are strictly necessary for security and performance purposes, such as bot detection, DDoS protection, and load balancing. These cookies are essential for the Site to function properly and cannot be disabled.
Cloudflare cookies:
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| __cf_bm | Bot management. Helps Cloudflare distinguish between humans and bots to protect the Site from malicious traffic. | 30 minutes |
| cf_clearance | Set after a user completes a Cloudflare challenge (e.g., CAPTCHA). Indicates the visitor has passed the security check. | Up to 1 year |
Cloudflare's privacy policy: https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/
Google Fonts (if applicable)
If our Site loads fonts from Google Fonts, your browser may connect to Google's servers to download font files. This may result in your IP address and basic usage data being transmitted to Google.

What We Do Not Use
For clarity, our Site does not use:
- Analytics cookies or scripts (e.g., Google Analytics, PostHog, Mixpanel).
- Advertising or retargeting trackers (e.g., Meta Pixel, Google Ads tags).
- Social media tracking widgets.
- Session replay or heatmap tools.
Aggregated Traffic Data
Our hosting provider (Cloudflare) provides us with aggregated, non-personally-identifiable traffic statistics through its dashboard. This data includes information such as total page views, visitor counts by country, and bandwidth usage. This data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify individual visitors. We use this data solely to understand overall site performance and traffic patterns.
How to Manage Your Cookie Preferences
Browser Settings
You can manage cookies directly in your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies. Here are links to instructions for common browsers:
Consequences of Blocking Trackers
Because our Site uses only strictly necessary cookies, blocking them may affect core functionality such as Cloudflare's security features. This could result in being repeatedly presented with security challenges or being unable to access the Site. No analytics or advertising functionality will be affected because we do not use those types of trackers.
Global Privacy Control (GPC)
We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals as required by applicable law. Because we do not use analytics or advertising cookies, GPC signals do not change the tracking behavior of our Site (since there is no non-essential tracking to opt out of).
