Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to site owners. Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot access other data on your device.

Similar technologies — such as local storage and session storage — work in a comparable way and are covered by this policy.

2. Cookies We Use

Lysander uses a small, controlled set of cookies. We do not use advertising cookies or tracking cookies from third-party ad networks.

2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for Lysander to function. They cannot be disabled without breaking the service.

2.2 Functional Cookies

These cookies remember your preferences and improve your experience. They are only set if you consent.

2.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies help us understand how Lysander is used so we can improve it. They are only set if you consent. At this time Lysander does not use third-party analytics services; any analytics data is collected in aggregate and anonymised.

2.4 Cookie Consent Preference (Local Storage)

Lysander stores your cookie consent choice in your browser's local storage (not a cookie) under the key lysanderCookieConsent. This record contains your chosen preferences and the date of consent. It is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to our servers. It expires after 12 months, at which point you will be asked to review your preferences again.

3. Managing Cookies

3.1 Cookie Preference Centre

You can review and change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking Cookie Preferences below or in the footer of any Lysander page.

3.2 Browser Settings

You can also control cookies directly through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

• View and delete cookies already stored on your device
• Block third-party cookies
• Block all cookies (note: this will prevent Lysander from working correctly)
• Set exceptions for specific websites

Instructions for common browsers:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Apple Safari
• Microsoft Edge

3.3 Opting Out of Analytics

If and when we introduce analytics services, you will be able to opt out by declining analytics cookies in your preferences, or by using browser-level opt-out tools provided by those services. We will update this policy accordingly.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Lysander does not load third-party advertising, social media widgets, or tracking scripts that would set third-party cookies. The only external resource loaded by default is the Google Fonts API (to serve the Inter typeface). Google Fonts is configured to be loaded with privacy-respecting parameters; however, Google may set its own cookies subject to Google's Privacy Policy. You can self-host fonts by modifying your browser settings or using a content blocker if you prefer to avoid this.

5. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in our use of cookies or for legal, technical, or operational reasons. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date. If changes are material, we will notify you via the cookie banner the next time you visit Lysander.
