Confidential leadership advisory — Washington, DC Cookie policy

Cookie policy.

This site sets only the cookies it needs to work. Here is each one, and what it does.

Effective September 25, 2026.

01 / What cookies are

Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Some keep a site working. Others follow you around the web. This site uses only the first kind.

02 / What this site sets

Cloudflare security (__cf_bm and cf_clearance). Cloudflare delivers the site and uses these to tell people from bots and block attacks. __cf_bm expires after 30 minutes.

Google reCAPTCHA (_GRECAPTCHA), on the Apply page only. It screens out spam applications. Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply to it.

03 / What it doesn’t set

No analytics cookies and no advertising cookies. Plausible, which counts visits, works without cookies, and nothing here tracks you to other sites. That’s also why there’s no cookie banner: nothing on this site needs your consent.

04 / Your choices

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. The site will still work, though blocking the Cloudflare or reCAPTCHA cookies may stop an application from going through. If that happens, email me at eric@mcclerren.co.

05 / Questions

The Privacy policy covers everything else. Questions go to eric@mcclerren.co.

Speak freely. Think clearly.
