2.2 Analytics cookies
ConsentLab uses Google Analytics 4 (provided by Google LLC, United States) to measure the audience of its site. The related cookies (_ga, _ga_*, lifetime up to 13 months) are set only after your consent, collected via our own consent banner: until you accept the “Analytics” category, no cookie is set and no data is sent to Google (Consent Mode v2). You may withdraw your consent at any time.
ConsentLab also uses Vercel Analytics, a cookieless and anonymous audience measurement that does not require consent.
2.3 Advertising cookies
ConsentLab uses no advertising or marketing tracking cookies on its site.
3. Cookies set by the ConsentLab Widget
Important distinction: the ConsentLab Widget integrated on our Customers' sites may set a cookie to remember the Visitor's consent choice. This cookie is set on the Customer's site, not on consentlab.eu. Its management falls under the Customer's cookie policy.
The Widget cookie contains only the consent identifier (UUID) and the choices made by the Visitor. It does not contain any advertising identifier or tracking data.
4. Managing your preferences
Strictly necessary cookies cannot be refused as they are essential for the operation of the site.
You can delete existing cookies at any time from your browser settings:
- Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions
Deleting authentication cookies will log you out of your session.
5. Retention period
In line with CNIL guidelines, cookies have a maximum lifetime of 13 months. The cookie consent (on Customers' sites) is retained for a maximum of 25 months, after which the Visitor is asked again.
