How Lexmount uses cookies and similar technologies
Version: 2026-09-20.1
Cookies we use
Lexmount uses necessary cookies for authentication, security checks, language, and essential service state. These are required to provide services you request and cannot be disabled in our preference panel. Blocking them in your browser may prevent parts of the service from working.
Analytics, marketing/affiliate, and support tools are separate optional categories. When configured, Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity load with analytics cookies enabled by default. Choose “Necessary only”, or uncheck Analytics and save, to disable their analytics cookies. After you decline, Google Analytics may send consent signals and cookieless measurement pings; Clarity performs limited, cookieless tracking with a new identifier for each page view. Other analytics, marketing/affiliate, and support tools run only after you select their category and save. Unconfigured tools are not enabled by this policy.

For each service, it explains the purpose, data or identifiers involved, domains, processing region, and retention period or how that period is determined.

Your choices
On your first visit, Analytics is selected by default for Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity. Choose “Necessary only”, or uncheck Analytics and save, to disable analytics cookies. Selecting Analytics and saving enables them again. Other available categories can be selected independently; unavailable categories are not displayed. If the services or purposes covered by your choice materially change, we will ask you to choose again while retaining any saved analytics opt-out. Change the choice at any time through “Cookie preferences” at the bottom-left of the page.
You can also delete cookies in your browser. Deleting the preference cookie causes the consent panel to appear again.
Retention
The current maximum is seven days for login-session cookies, one hour for the registration legal-acknowledgement cookie, and one year for cookie preferences. Retention information for third-party cookies or identifiers appears in the service table above and the linked provider policy. Declining or withdrawing Analytics prevents further reading or writing of analytics cookies by Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity; Clarity also removes its existing cookies and restarts in no-consent mode. Other analytics, marketing/affiliate, and support scripts remain blocked without consent.
