Cookie Policy for Scrambled Egg Blog
There are two cookies on our site. They are both necessary for the site to function. We do not use the cookies for any other purpose other than to provide web site functionality. Further, we do not sell or use cookies or any user information for advertising, targeting, tracking and other undesirable uses.
Cookie 1 - cookieConsent
This cookie records your acceptance of cookies. If you decline this cookie is not set and you will continue to see the banner as there is no way to remember that you have declined cookies without storing it - which is what cookies are for (yes, we need to use a cookie to record you don't want a cookie - ironic)
- Stored for: 30 days
- Use: prevent showing the cookie consent banner again after consent it given
- Impact of not having it: you would see the consent banner every time you came to the site browsed links.
- Shared with: nobody
Cookie 2 - aws-waf-token
To protect our email form from bots, we require completion of a captcha puzzle. Completion creates an encrypted token that allows our infrastructure provider (AWS) to know whether to allow the form submission. We use this to protect against bots blasting us with form email submissions.
- Stored for: 5 minutes
- Use: record a token that indicates you have solved the captcha puzzle to submit an email
- Impact of not having it: you cannot submit an email as we require a captcha to submit email
- Shared with: Amazon Web Services
AWS data handling
The CAPTCHA completion token and related cookie are governed by our AWS agreement, which keeps data about our users between us and them. We are relying specifically on their key privacy principles. Specifically, AWS states: "We do not access or use your customer content for any purpose without your agreement. We do not use customer content or derive information from it for marketing or advertising."
Scrambled Egg LLC has not consented to any use of this cookie beyond protecting our submission forms from bots.
