In short
We use no analytics, advertising or tracking cookies. The only cookie that can appear is a short-lived security cookie from Cloudflare, and our page view counts come from Cloudflare Web Analytics, which uses no cookies.
1. What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet or phone) when you visit a website. They help a site remember your choices and work properly. We also use similar technologies:
- Security checks: Cloudflare Turnstile checks that our contact form is being sent by a person, not a bot.
- Cookieless analytics: Cloudflare Web Analytics counts page views without cookies or local storage.
This policy explains which of these the Affordable Golf Clubs website (affordablegolfclubs.co.uk) uses, why, and the choices you have. It follows the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and UK GDPR.
2. The short version
We do not use analytics, advertising or tracking cookies. The only cookie that can appear is a short-lived security cookie from Cloudflare, which PECR treats as strictly necessary, so we do not need to ask for consent and we show no cookie banner.
3. Cookies on our website
3.1 Strictly necessary (no consent needed)
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration | Set by |
|---|---|---|---|---|
__cf_bm |
Cookie | Set by Cloudflare’s bot protection to tell people from bots, only when that protection is active | 30 minutes | affordablegolfclubs.co.uk |
3.2 Build your bag
Build your bag runs in your browser. Your answers go into the page address of your results, so you can share the link, and are not stored in cookies or sent to us to keep.
If you press Save this bag on this device on your results, your browser keeps that results link in its local
storage under the name agc:last-bag, so Build your bag can offer it back next time. It stays on your device, is never
sent to us, and is only saved because you asked for it, which makes it strictly necessary under PECR. It stays until you
press Forget it or clear your browser data.
3.3 Security on our contact form
Our contact form uses Cloudflare Turnstile to stop spam. Turnstile runs only on the contact page. It checks your browser to tell people from bots and is not used for advertising. It is strictly necessary for the form to work securely.
3.4 Cookieless analytics
We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count page views. It does not use cookies or local storage and does not collect personal data, so it runs without a consent choice.
3.5 Links to retailers
Some links take you to retailers such as Amazon. Once you are on a retailer’s website, it may set its own cookies under its own cookie policy, including cookies that tell it you came from us. We do not set those cookies, and they are not set on our website.
4. No marketing or advertising cookies
Affordable Golf Clubs does not use analytics, marketing, advertising or retargeting cookies on its website. If we ever add them, we will ask for your consent first with a cookie banner and update this policy.
5. Managing cookies in your browser

6. Children
Our guides are written for adults, including parents choosing clubs for their children. We set no tracking cookies for anyone.

We may update this policy to reflect changes to the technologies we use, legal or regulatory requirements, or changes made by third-party providers. The date at the top shows the latest version.
