User-Identifiable Information: Cookies related to User submission (forms)
If a User submits invalid data through a form - such as those found on the contact page - a cookie will be set to facilitate encrypted storage of submitted data that will repopulate the form so the User need not re-enter everything already submitted.
This cookie is essential for user experience and is not set/used unless a form is submitted intentionally by User. The cookie itself does not contain any User-identifiable information. It acts as a hardware-identifying marker that enables access to User information temporarily stored server-side in encrypted form. As a security measure, this cookie (along with all related server-side information) is set to expire after ten minutes. On server-side, that information is destroyed. On browser-side, user action (like closing browser) may be required to fully remove expired cookie. For more information on this, visit the Security page. Blocking this cookie will make forms unusable.

Site functionality is maintained by use of a third-party cookie from Cloudflare. For more information on their use of that cookie, please visit Cloudflare's cookie page and review information regarding _cfduid. This cookie is considered strictly necessary and used throughout the site.
Form security is maintained by use of a first-party cookie used to ensure that the information being sent is sent by the same person that is completing the form. This cookie is functional for security purposes and is set throughout the site. Blocking this cookie will make forms unusable.
