1. What this notice is for
This Cookie Notice explains how CARING FUTURES LTD (company number 13049851), trading as Caring Futures, uses cookies and similar technologies on this website.
When we say “cookies”, we also mean similar technologies that store or access information on your device, such as local storage or security tokens.
2. How our cookie controls work
When you first visit the site, you should be given a clear choice to:
- accept all optional cookies;
- reject optional cookies; or
- manage your preferences.
Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent, but we still tell you about them.
You can reopen your cookie settings at any time using the Cookie settings control in the website footer.
3. What we currently use
At present:
- the site uses strictly necessary cookies and similar technologies for security and consent-preference storage;
- the site loads Google Tag Manager with Google consent defaults set to denied unless you have already made a relevant choice;
- optional analytics or marketing storage remains denied by default until you make an active choice; and
- if new optional tools are added later, this notice and the consent mechanism should be updated before those tools are activated.
4. Cookie categories
| Category | Current status | Why it is used |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Active | To keep the site secure, remember cookie choices, and protect forms against spam or abuse |
| Preferences | Off unless enabled later | To remember optional user settings |

6. Why some technologies are treated as strictly necessary
Some security and consent-preference technologies can be used without optional-cookie consent where they are genuinely necessary to:
- keep the service secure;
- prevent fraud, spam, or abuse;
- remember the choice you made in the cookie banner; or
- provide a function you specifically requested, such as submitting a protected form.
We aim to keep strictly necessary technologies limited to those purposes.
7. Optional cookies
If we introduce optional analytics, functional, embedded-media, or marketing technologies later:
- they should remain off by default until you make an active choice;
- the site should provide a clear explanation of what they do and who provides them;
- rejecting them should be as easy as accepting them; and
- you should be able to change your mind later through the cookie settings control.
8. Managing your choices
You can manage cookies in three main ways:
- Use the cookie controls on this website.
- Change your browser settings.
- Remove existing cookies through your browser or device settings.
If you block strictly necessary cookies entirely, some parts of the website or protected forms may not work as intended.
9. Third-party services
This site uses Cloudflare services for hosting, security, and Turnstile form protection. Those services may process technical information and may use strictly necessary cookies or similar technologies as part of providing security.
Cloudflare’s published information includes:
10. Changes to this notice
We may update this Cookie Notice when the site changes, especially if new optional tools or third-party services are introduced.
