What platform and cookie policy does crabb.uk use?

crabb.uk is a small personal site — the Crabb Family website — that is currently marked as under construction. According to the site's own text, it was built with the InstantPro Website Builder from Freeola.com, it displays a visitor counter, and it uses cookies to improve functionality. The site states that by using it you accept the use of cookies on your device, and it provides a link labelled "About cookies" for more information. No cookie categories, durations, third-party cookie names, or opt-out controls are described in the available page content.

Platform: InstantPro Website Builder from Freeola.com

The only build detail the site gives is this line from its own page:

"This website was built using the InstantPro Website Builder from Freeola.com"

What that tells you in practice:

• It is a hosted website-builder product, not a hand-coded or self-managed CMS install. The owner works inside Freeola's InstantPro tool rather than maintaining server software.
• The "under construction" notice fits that setup. The homepage text reads "Wecome to the Crabb Family website which is currently under construct ion" — the site is a work in progress, and the builder is the environment it is being assembled in.
• No version, plan, or pricing is stated on the page. Nothing in the available content says what tier of InstantPro is used or what it costs, so that cannot be assumed either way.

If you are evaluating the same tool for your own site, the relevant question is not "what does crabb.uk run on" but "does a hosted builder meet my needs" — that trade-off is covered below.

Cookies: what the site actually says

The cookie notice on crabb.uk is a single acceptance line plus a link:

Two things are worth separating here:

1. The stated purpose is functionality, not advertising or analytics. The page does not mention tracking, profiling, or third-party advertising cookies.
2. The consent model is notice-and-continue, not a granular banner. There is no described mechanism for accepting some cookie types and rejecting others, and no described way to withdraw consent from within the site.

The "About cookies" link is the only route the site offers to further detail. If you need specifics — which cookies are set, how long they last, who sets them — the page content available here does not answer that; you would need to follow that link or check your browser's stored cookies for the domain.

What else is on the site

The homepage also lists the site's sections, which give a sense of its scope:

• Crabb Genealogy
• L'Enfant Genealogy
• Christmas Genealogy
• Crabb Websites
• Old School Photos
• Astrophotography
• Test / Test1

A visitor counter is displayed, and the content is copyright Nigel P. Crabb, 2020–2021. The site is in English (en-GB).

Choosing whether this matters to you

If you are a visitor: the practical takeaway is that crabb.uk is a personal, partly built family-history site. It sets cookies for functionality and assumes continued use means acceptance. If you want to limit what it stores, manage cookies through your browser rather than expecting an on-site control, since none is described.

If you are comparing builders: InstantPro from Freeola.com is the platform in use here. A hosted builder like this suits someone who wants a site online without managing hosting or software updates, and who accepts the builder's own cookie and consent behaviour as part of the package. It suits you less if you need fine-grained control over cookie categories, consent logging, or custom code — those are exactly the areas where the page gives no detail.

If you need the cookie specifics: the site's own "About cookies" link is the starting point, followed by inspecting cookies stored for crabb.uk in your browser settings. The page content alone does not list them.
