Cookies & Storage

Necessary sign-in and security storage

Private portal sessions use secure, HttpOnly, SameSite=Lax cookies, normally lasting up to eight hours. Authentication and Google connection flows may use short-lived security cookies. These are needed for the feature you request and do not provide advertising tracking.

Optional analytics

Google Analytics loads only after Accept analytics. Reject analytics keeps it off. Cookie settings lets you change your decision; browser Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control keeps analytics off. The localStorage setting lpc_analytics_consent_v1 records your choice for 180 days. When accepted, Google uses LPC-prefixed analytics cookies, including lpc_ga and measurement-specific lpc_ga_* identifiers, configured for 180 days without rolling expiry. They measure visits to public pages; private portal pages, form contents and URL query values are excluded. We disable advertising and Google Signals features. Google may process information outside the UK under its applicable safeguards.

Instagram

We do not automatically load Instagram embeds. If you choose Load Instagram posts, your browser connects to Meta/Instagram, which may receive your IP address and use its cookies or storage under its own privacy notice. The separate profile link lets you visit Instagram directly.

Manage storage

Use Cookie settings on a public page to withdraw analytics consent. You can also delete website cookies and local storage through your browser; this may sign you out or reset preferences. Contact info@lpcuk.uk with questions.
