What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files saved on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make sites work, remember preferences, and collect usage data. ConsentLens uses a minimal set of cookies, described below.
Cookies we use
| Cookie | Category | Purpose | Expiry |
|---|---|---|---|
| next-auth.session-token | Necessary | Keeps you signed in to your ConsentLens account. | Session / 30 days |
| next-auth.csrf-token | Necessary | Protects sign-in and sign-out forms against cross-site request forgery (CSRF). | Session |
| consentlens_cookie_consent | Necessary | Stores your cookie consent preference (localStorage, not sent to our server). | Persistent |
| _ga, _ga_*, _gcl_au | Analytics | Set by Google Analytics 4 (via Google Tag Manager) to measure aggregated, anonymous usage — page views, feature engagement, session counts. Only set if you accept analytics cookies. | Up to 2 years |
Strictly necessary cookies
The necessary cookies listed above are required for the service to function and cannot be turned off. They are set in direct response to actions you take, such as signing in or saving your consent choice. They do not track you for advertising purposes.
Analytics cookies
We use Google Analytics 4, loaded via Google Tag Manager (ID: GTM-N75793Z4), to understand how visitors navigate ConsentLens so we can improve it. All data is aggregated and anonymised — IP addresses are truncated before storage and no data is linked to your identity.
Analytics cookies are only set after you explicitly accept them. If you decline, Google Analytics is never loaded.

Browser-level cookie controls
You can also block or delete all cookies directly in your browser settings. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent sign-in from working.
