Cookie Policy
Last Updated: August 5, 2026 • Effective Date: May 29, 2026
1.Overview
This Cookie Policy explains how Lyfework (“we,” “us,” “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on this website, and the choices you have. It works alongside our Privacy Policy.
We’ve written it to be specific rather than vague: it lists the tools and browser storage we use, why we use them, and when they are enabled. Optional analytics require your consent first.
2.What Cookies & Similar Technologies Are
A cookie is a small text file a website can place on your device. Similar technologies include local storage, a small amount of space in your browser a site can use to remember a setting. Both let a site recognize a choice you made so you don’t have to repeat it.
These technologies can be “strictly necessary” (needed for the site to function or to honor your privacy choices) or “optional” (used for things like analytics or advertising). Optional ones require your consent, and that’s the consent this page is about.
3.Do We Use Cookies?
We always use essential browser storage to remember your cookie choice. If you allow analytics, we also run our first-party behavior tracker, Google Analytics, and Vercel Web Analytics. We do not run advertising cookies, social-media pixels, or cross-site ad tracking.
4.Categories We Define
We group storage into three categories. Their current status is shown below.
| Category | Purpose | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Makes the site work and remembers your cookie choice. Cannot be switched off. | Active |
| Analytics | Measures page use, traffic sources, engagement, and on-page interactions. Off until you allow it. | Optional |
| Marketing | Would measure and improve advertising and outreach. | Not currently in use |
5.Exactly What We Store Today
This is the complete list of what this site places on your device:
| Name | Type | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| lyf-consent-v1 | Local storage | Remembers your cookie choices (necessary / analytics / marketing) so we don’t ask again. | Until you clear it |
| lyf_vk | Local storage | Random first-party visitor identifier for aggregate return-visit analytics. Created only after analytics consent. | Until you revoke consent or clear site data |
| lyf_sk | Session storage | Random per-tab session identifier used to group pageviews and behavior events. Created only after analytics consent. | Until the tab closes, consent is revoked, or site data is cleared |
| _ga and _ga_* | First-party cookies set by Google Analytics | Distinguish users and preserve session state after analytics consent. | Up to 2 years, subject to browser limits; removed when consent is revoked |
The consent item contains your preferences and the date you set them. Analytics identifiers are random, are created only after opt-in, and are deleted when analytics consent is revoked. Vercel Web Analytics does not use cookies. Our first-party tracker records page paths, referrers, device class, time, scroll depth, and click or pointer coordinates; it does not record form values or page text.
6.Managing Your Preferences
You’re in control. Open your cookie preferences any time to review or change your choices:
You can also manage storage directly in your browser:
- Clear or block storage for this site in your browser’s privacy or site settings.
- Use private / incognito mode, which discards storage when you close the window.
- Reset our setting by clearing site data, you’ll see the cookie notice again on your next visit.
Blocking strictly necessary storage may mean we can’t remember your cookie choice, so you’ll be asked each visit.
7.Global Privacy Control & “Do Not Track”
If your browser or an extension sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we honor it automatically: optional categories stay off and we treat it as an opt-out of any sale or sharing of personal information. You won’t need to do anything else.
We also honor the legacy Do Not Track signal for optional analytics. Either GPC or Do Not Track prevents the analytics tools described above from starting.
8.Changes to This Policy
If we introduce new cookies or technologies, we’ll update this page, change the “Last Updated” date, and request consent before any new optional storage is set.
