Cookie Policy — LYVTech

Last updated: 3 August 2026

The short version

We use one analytics tool (Google Analytics) to understand which pages are useful. It only runs if you accept. We don't use advertising cookies, we don't track you across other websites, and we don't sell data to anyone.

Change your choice at any time: open cookie settings.

What a cookie is

A cookie is a small file a website stores on your device. Similar technologies — like local storage — do much the same job. This policy covers both.

What we actually use

Strictly necessary (always on)

These are required for the site to work and to remember your privacy choice. They don't need consent because without them the site can't function or honour your decision.

Name	Purpose	Stored for
`lyv_consent`	Remembers whether you accepted or rejected analytics, so we don't ask again	Until you clear it
`lyv_src`	Remembers how you arrived (e.g. search or referral) so we can credit the right source if you book a call	Current browser session only

Analytics (only with your consent)

These load only after you press Accept. If you reject, or simply ignore the banner, they never run.

Name	Provider	Purpose	Stored for
`_ga`	Google Analytics	Tells returning visits apart from new ones	Up to 2 years
`_ga_*`	Google Analytics	Keeps track of a single visit (session state)	Up to 2 years

We use Google Analytics 4 with IP addresses anonymised by Google and advertising features switched off. We use it to see which pages and articles help people — nothing more.

Third parties you may meet

Calendly — if you click "Book a call", you're taken to Calendly, which sets its own cookies under its own policy. Nothing is set until you click.
Google Fonts — the site loads its typeface from Google's servers, which involves a request to Google but sets no cookies.
Cloudflare — serves and protects the site, and may set a strictly necessary security cookie.

How to change or withdraw consent

Use cookie settings on this page or in the footer, at any time.
Or clear cookies and site data for this site in your browser, and the banner will ask again.
Rejecting has no effect on how the site works — nothing is withheld or degraded.

Google Preferred Sources button

On blog posts we show a Google button that lets you add LYVTech as a preferred source, so you see more of our articles in Google's Top Stories, Discover and AI answers. It changes only your own Google experience and tells us nothing about you.

The button is provided by Google and loads a script from news.google.com. We only load it if you have accepted cookies — if you declined or ignored the banner, the button never appears and no request is made to Google.
