Cookie Policy

Last updated: May 2, 2025. A complete summary of the cookies and storage technologies ljgdg.com uses, why, and the controls you have.

This Cookie Policy explains how Ljgdg uses cookies, web beacons, pixels, local storage and similar tracking technologies ("Cookies") on ljgdg.com, in line with the ePrivacy Directive and Google's EU User Consent Policy for GDPR compliance for end users in the EEA, UK and Switzerland.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. First-party cookies are set by ljgdg.com; third-party cookies are set by other parties such as Google when the site embeds content from other domains.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

• Strictly necessary: Required for the Site to function — saving filter selections, display preferences, and language settings.
• Preference: Store choices such as dark mode or layout options.
• Performance and analytics: Aggregated measurements of which pages are slow or failing, and which instrument profiles readers find useful.
• Functionality: Remember enhanced choices such as username, region and accessibility settings.
• Advertising and personalization: Used by Google and ad-tech partners to serve and measure ads. Only set after consent is granted where required.

3. Specific Cookies We and Our Partners Use

Principal Cookies: ljgdg_prefs (preferences, up to 12 months), ljgdg_consent (banner choice, 6 months), _ga / _ga_<id> (Google Analytics, 2 years), __gads / __gpi (Google Ads, 13 months), IDE / ANID (DoubleClick personalized ads, 13/10 months), test_cookie (DoubleClick, 15 min), NID / 1P_JAR (Google preferences/ads, 6/1 months), ar_debug / aeis (Google Ads fraud prevention, session), gcl_au (conversion linker, 90 days).

4. Third-Party Advertising and Google Services

We use third-party vendors including Google to serve ads. Third parties may collect IP address, cookie identifiers, device identifiers, and pages visited. See: How Google uses information, Google Ads Settings, Google Business Safety.

5. Personalized Advertising

Google uses cookies to serve ads based on prior visits. Opt out at Google My Ad Center or Google Ads Settings. Opting out does not mean no ads — you will see generic, non-personalized ads.

6. Consent Mode v2 Signals

For EEA/UK/Switzerland users, the Site integrates Google Consent Mode v2 transmitting four signals: ad_storage, analytics_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization. By default all four are "denied" until you consent.

7. Certified Consent Management Platform

A Google-certified CMP compliant with IAB TCF v2.2 collects your cookie choices and communicates them to Google and ad-tech vendors through Consent Mode v2. Withdraw consent anytime via the footer "Cookie Settings" link or by clearing the ljgdg_consent cookie.

8. How to Manage Cookies

Every major browser lets you view, block and delete Cookies: Chrome (support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647), Firefox (support.mozilla.org/kb/cookies), Edge (support.microsoft.com/microsoft-edge), Safari (support.apple.com/guide/safari).

9-12. Additional Info

Third-party images may set technical Cookies. Do Not Track signals are not currently honored due to lack of industry consensus. This policy may be updated — changes posted on this page. Contact: [email protected].
