This Cookie Policy explains how LienGuard uses cookies and similar technologies. For how we handle personal data more broadly, see our Privacy Policy.
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. They let a site remember your actions and preferences (such as keeping you logged in) and, optionally, help measure how the site is used. We also use comparable browser storage (e.g. localStorage) to remember your consent choice.
| Category | Purpose | Examples | Consent |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Authentication and security — keep you logged in and protect the session. | sid (session), fc_consent (your cookie choice) | Always on (no consent required) |
| Functional | Remember preferences to improve your experience. | UI preferences (if enabled) | Optional |
| Analytics | Understand aggregate, anonymized usage to improve the product — provided by Google Analytics 4. | _ga, _gid, _gat (Google Analytics) | Optional — loads only after you choose "Accept all" |
| Marketing / advertising | Not currently used. If introduced, used only with consent. | — | Optional — only with consent |
Our login cookie sid is HttpOnly, Secure and SameSite=Lax, and expires after 7 days. It contains a signed reference to your session, not your password.
| Cookie / storage | Type | Purpose | Expiry | Set when |
|---|---|---|---|---|
sid | Essential (session) | Keeps you logged in; HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite=Lax. Holds a signed session reference, not your password. | 7 days | On login — always |
fc_consent | Essential (localStorage) | Remembers your cookie choice ("Accept all" or "Essential only") so we don't ask again. | Until you reset it | When you make a choice — always |
_ga | Analytics (Google) | Google Analytics: distinguishes unique visitors to measure aggregate usage. | ~2 years | Only after you choose "Accept all" |
_gid | Analytics (Google) | Google Analytics: distinguishes visitors over a 24-hour period. | 24 hours | Only after you choose "Accept all" |
_gat | Analytics (Google) | Google Analytics: throttles the request rate. | ~1 minute | Only after you choose "Accept all" |
The Google Analytics cookies (_ga, _gid, _gat) are not set when you first arrive. Our analytics loader checks your stored consent and only loads Google Analytics if you clicked "Accept all". If you chose "Essential only" — or have not chosen — Google Analytics never loads and these cookies are never created.
When you first visit, a banner lets you accept all cookies or essential only. You can change your choice at any time by clearing the fc_consent value below, or via your browser settings (which can block or delete cookies — note that blocking the session cookie will log you out).
Google Analytics. With your consent ("Accept all"), we use Google Analytics 4 to understand aggregate, anonymized usage. It is provided by Google and sets the _ga, _gid and _gat cookies described above; IP anonymization is enabled. See Google's Privacy Policy and how Google uses cookies. You can withdraw consent at any time using the "Reset my cookie choice" button above.
Payment (Stripe) and email (Resend) providers may set their own cookies when you interact with their flows; see their policies. We do not use third-party advertising cookies.
