The Moving on Project | Cookie Policy
Last updated 3rd June 2025
This Cookie Policy explains exactly which cookies and storage technologies The Moving On Project uses on this website, why we use them, and how you can control them. We are committed to transparency — particularly because many of our visitors are young people.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files stored on your device when you visit a website. We also use localStorage — a similar browser storage mechanism — to remember your cookie preferences without sending data to our servers.
Cookies we use
1. Essential cookies (always active)
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function securely. They cannot be switched off.
| Cookie name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
session |
Flask session cookie — keeps you securely logged in and maintains your form submission state. | Session (deleted when browser closes) |
csrf_token |
CSRF protection token — prevents cross-site request forgery attacks on our forms. | Session |
tmop_cookie_consent (localStorage) |
Stores your cookie preference ("accepted" or "essential") so we don't ask again on every visit. | Permanent (until you clear browser storage) |
2. Third-party cookies — reCAPTCHA (essential)
Our contact and referral forms are protected by Google reCAPTCHA v2/v3 to prevent spam and bot submissions. Google may set cookies and use browser fingerprinting as part of this service.

3. Optional cookies — Google Maps (requires consent)

4. Analytics — Grafana Faro (performance monitoring)
We use Grafana Faro for anonymous performance monitoring — measuring page load times and catching JavaScript errors. Faro does not track individuals and does not set cookies; it sends anonymised telemetry from your browser to our Grafana Cloud instance.
- Provider: Grafana Labs
- Data collected: page load timings, JavaScript errors, browser type (anonymised)
- No cookies set
Managing your preferences
You can change your cookie preference at any time by clearing your browser's localStorage for this site, which will cause the cookie banner to re-appear on your next visit. You can also manage cookies through your browser settings:
