Cookie notice

Last updated: Version 1.0

The short version

  • plexormedia.com sets no cookies of its own. The only thing it keeps in your browser is your choice of light or dark mode, and only if you use that switch.
  • Cloudflare, the company that protects and delivers our site, may set a few security cookies. They are strictly necessary and are not used for advertising.
  • Our visitor statistics use no cookies or scripts: they come from Cloudflare’s counts of the requests that reach its servers. The spam check on our forms uses no cookies.
  • We use no advertising, no Google Analytics and no content embedded from other sites.
  • We show no cookie banner, because the only cookies that can appear are strictly necessary ones, the only setting stored is one you choose yourself, in your own browser, and our statistics neither store nor read anything on your device. The section Why you see no cookie banner explains the rules behind this.

Questions about this notice: hello@plexormedia.com.

Who is responsible

plexormedia.com is run by:

Plexormedia, S. de R.L. de C.V.
Calle 25 No. 220, San Miguel
Mérida, Yucatán, 97140
Mexico

Our privacy notice explains how we handle personal data in general, including your rights (in Mexico, your ARCO rights), how to exercise them and where you can complain.

What cookies and similar technologies are

A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store. Your browser sends it back to that site with later requests, so the site can recognize your browser. Sites use cookies to keep you signed in, remember a setting, protect themselves from attacks, or record what you do for statistics or advertising.

Other technologies can do similar jobs without a cookie:

  • browser storage (such as “local storage”), where a site keeps information on your device;
  • pixels: tiny, invisible images in a page or an email that tell a server when they are loaded;
  • scripts that read information from your browser, such as how fast a page loaded, and send it to a server.

The rules on cookies also cover these technologies, and so does this notice.

Terms used below:

  • First-party cookies are managed by the site you are visiting. Third-party cookies are managed by another company, even when they are set on the site’s own domain.
  • Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies stay until they expire or you delete them.
  • Strictly necessary cookies are those a site needs to provide the service you asked for, for example to keep it secure. EU and Spanish rules allow them without consent.

What plexormedia.com itself stores

Nothing, unless you use the light and dark mode switch. Our pages set no cookies. If you click the switch, your browser keeps your choice (light or dark) in its own storage, so the next page opens the same way. That choice stays on your device, is never sent to us and lasts only for your visit: your browser deletes it when you close the tab. If you never use the switch, nothing is stored and pages follow your device’s light or dark setting.

The language switch is a plain link, so there is no language setting to remember. Our fonts and images are served from plexormedia.com, so reading a page doesn’t contact Google or any other font or image service.

Like most websites, ours runs on a server that keeps logs: a record of each request, with details such as your IP address and the page requested. That record is kept on our host’s server, not in your browser. Point 1 of our privacy notice explains it.

Cookies Cloudflare may set

Cloudflare, Inc. runs our domain’s DNS (the system that points plexormedia.com to our server) and its security, and keeps copies of our pages close to visitors so they load quickly. Every request to plexormedia.com goes to Cloudflare’s network first. Cloudflare answers it from those copies or passes it on to our host.

To block attacks and tell people from bots (automated programs), Cloudflare may set the cookies in the table below. All of them are third-party cookies from Cloudflare, Inc.: they are set on plexormedia.com, but Cloudflare manages and reads them. Cloudflare classifies them as strictly necessary.

Name Purpose Duration Why it needs no consent
__cf_bm Helps Cloudflare tell people from bots while its bot protection is switched on Expires after 30 minutes without activity Strictly necessary (security): it protects the site you asked to visit
cf_clearance Stores the result of Cloudflare’s security checks, including the invisible test described below, so you are not checked again on every page The time set in Cloudflare’s “Challenge Passage” setting: 30 minutes by default Strictly necessary (security): it lets you reach the site after a check
cf_chl_rc_i, cf_chl_rc_ni, cf_chl_rc_m Used internally by Cloudflare during its security checks to identify technical problems on visitors’ devices Not published by Cloudflare Strictly necessary (security), according to Cloudflare: they are part of the security check

To delete or block these cookies, use your browser’s settings, as explained under How to delete or block cookies below. If you block them, you may not get past a security check.

When they appear. __cf_bm appears only while Cloudflare’s bot protection (Bot Fight Mode) is switched on for our domain. While it is on, Cloudflare also adds a small, invisible test script to each of our pages. Your browser runs it, and Cloudflare stores the result in cf_clearance without showing you anything. We keep that protection switched off, so neither __cf_bm nor the invisible test appears on plexormedia.com. cf_clearance appears when Cloudflare shows you a security check, for example because a request looks as if it may come from a bot. The cf_chl_rc cookies can appear while such a check runs.

What they contain. __cf_bm holds the information Cloudflare uses to calculate a “bot score”. Apart from timing information, it is encrypted, and only Cloudflare can read it. Cloudflare creates a separate __cf_bm for each site you visit and says it does not track visitors from site to site or from one visit to the next. cf_clearance holds the result of Cloudflare’s checks and is tied to the device it was issued to.

What data is involved. To run these checks, Cloudflare processes technical data that can count as personal data, such as your IP address and details of your browser. Cloudflare’s Turnstile Privacy Addendum, described under Spam check without cookies, also covers these security checks: Cloudflare runs them on our behalf, and it also uses the same signals for its own purposes, to improve its bot detection. Cloudflare may process cookie data in the United States. Our privacy notice explains how transfers to the United States are protected.

Cloudflare’s full list. Cloudflare publishes every cookie its services can set in Cloudflare Cookies (checked on October 5, 2026). The others on that list belong to Cloudflare features we don’t use.

Visitor statistics without cookies or scripts

Our visitor numbers come only from Cloudflare’s counts of the requests that reach its servers. No script runs on our pages for this, and nothing is stored on or read from your device. Cloudflare relies on what every request carries anyway: your IP address, from which it works out your country, and the short description your browser sends of itself (its “user agent”).

Cloudflare’s dashboard shows us totals such as the number of requests, the data transferred and the number of different IP addresses, with breakdowns by country, browser and operating system. It covers at least the last 30 days. Cloudflare keeps the underlying request records for the periods set in its own policies; it publishes no fixed period for them.

There is nothing to block in your browser to stop this. To object, write to us, as explained in point 2 of our privacy notice.

Spam check without cookies

Our contact form and newsletter sign-up use Cloudflare Turnstile to check that each submission comes from a person rather than a bot. Turnstile appears only on pages that have one of these forms, such as our home page, our articles and the contact page, in a small frame from challenges.cloudflare.com. It loads only when you start filling in the form, so visitors who only read the page are never checked. It then runs quick tests in your browser; usually there is nothing for you to click.

According to Cloudflare, Turnstile processes your IP address, technical details of your browser and connection (such as the browser’s “user agent” and a “TLS fingerprint” of the connection) and which site the check is for. It does not read what you type into the form.

When the check succeeds, Turnstile adds a one-time code to your form. Before the message or sign-up goes through, our server sends that code and your IP address to Cloudflare to confirm the code is valid.

Cookies. Turnstile works with that one-time code instead of a cookie. When Cloudflare launched Turnstile in September 2022, it stated that Turnstile never uses cookies to collect or store information. Turnstile has an optional “pre-clearance” setting that would also set the cf_clearance cookie. We keep it switched off.

Cloudflare’s own use. When it runs the check, Cloudflare acts on our behalf. It also uses the same signals, as an independent controller, to improve its bot detection. Its Turnstile Privacy Addendum explains this.

Without JavaScript the check can’t run, so the forms can’t be sent. You can always write to us at hello@plexormedia.com instead.

Outside this website

  • Our newsletter. EmailOctopus sends it for us. We switch off its open and click tracking for every email, so our emails contain no tracking image and don’t record which links you click. Point 4 of our privacy notice has the details.
  • Links to other sites. Links to our social media profiles and to other sites are plain links: nothing from those sites loads on our pages. Once you follow a link, you are on the other site, and its own cookie rules apply.

What we don’t use

  • No advertising or marketing cookies.
  • No statistics or tracking scripts, such as Google Analytics or the Meta (Facebook) pixel.
  • No social media widgets or share buttons, and no videos, posts or maps embedded from other sites.
  • No visitor profiles, and no following you across other sites.

How to delete or block cookies

You control cookies in your browser’s settings. Every common browser lets you:

  • see and delete the cookies a site has stored;
  • block cookies from all sites, or only third-party cookies;
  • delete cookies automatically when you close the browser.

These options are usually under “Privacy” or “Privacy and security” in the browser’s settings. On a phone or tablet, look in the browser app’s settings. Menus change from one version to the next, so for exact steps, search your browser’s help pages for “cookies”. A private or incognito window also deletes its cookies when you close it.

If you block cookies, you can normally still read the site. If Cloudflare shows you a security check, though, it needs its cookie to remember that you passed. Without it, you may be checked again on every page, or you may not get through. If you turn off JavaScript, our forms can’t be sent; write to us by email instead.

The EU’s ePrivacy rules, applied in Spain by Article 22.2 of the LSSI-CE, require consent before a site stores or reads information on your device. There are two exceptions: when the storing or reading serves only to carry a communication over the network, and when it is strictly necessary to provide a service you expressly asked for. Spain’s data protection authority (AEPD), in its cookie guide, lists “user security” cookies among the cookies covered by these exceptions.

The only items that can be stored on your device when you visit plexormedia.com are the Cloudflare security cookies listed under Cookies Cloudflare may set, which are strictly necessary, and, if you use the switch, your choice of light or dark mode, which keeps the page the way you asked for it. Cloudflare’s security checks and Turnstile also read technical details from your browser, for security: to keep bots out.

Our visitor statistics neither store nor read anything on your device, so the consent requirement above doesn’t apply to them. Cloudflare counts, on its own servers, the requests your browser sends anyway to reach our site. Data protection law still covers the IP addresses in those requests, as point 2 of our privacy notice explains.

That is why we don’t ask for consent and show no cookie banner.

Mexico’s data protection rules cover technologies that collect personal data automatically as soon as you make contact with a site. The site must tell you that it uses them, that they obtain personal data, and how you can disable them. This notice gives you that information, and every page links to it at the bottom.

If we ever add a cookie or similar technology that needs your consent, we will ask before it runs, and refusing will be as easy as accepting.

Changes to this notice

We update this notice whenever we add, remove or change a cookie or similar technology, and we change the version number and date at the top. We publish each new version on this page. If a change also affects how we use your personal data, we announce it as described in the changes section of our privacy notice.
