How We Use Cookies

What cookies are, which ones this website sets and how you can control them.

Last updated: 8 October 2026

This policy explains how Shield Cyber Security Ltd uses cookies and similar technologies on this website.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website saves on your device. They let the site remember things between pages or visits, such as whether you are signed in. Similar technologies, such as local storage, work in the same way and are covered by this policy too.

The cookies we use

We keep cookies to a minimum. At the moment this website sets no cookies for ordinary visitors: it has no analytics, advertising or tracking cookies.

Strictly necessary cookies

These are only set when they are needed for the site to work, and they do not need your consent:

wordpress_logged_in_ and wordpress_sec_: set when a member of our team signs in to manage the site. They last for the session, or up to 14 days.
wordpress_test_cookie: set on the sign-in page to check that the browser accepts cookies. It lasts for the session.
wp-settings- and wp-settings-time-: remember editing preferences for signed-in team members. They last up to one year.

Analytics and marketing cookies

We do not use any. If we add analytics or marketing tools in future, we will update this policy and ask for your consent before any non-essential cookie is set.

Third-party services

This website loads its fonts from Google Fonts. Google does not set cookies for this, but your browser sends your IP address to Google when a page loads. Links to other websites, such as LinkedIn, take you to sites with their own cookie policies.

How to control cookies

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Each browser explains how in its help pages. If you block strictly necessary cookies, parts of a website that need you to sign in will not work.
