Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. This page explains which ones lukaskohler.com uses and how to manage them. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. Your choice
When you first visit, a banner asks whether you accept all cookies or only essential ones. Nothing beyond the essential category is set until you choose. Your preference is stored locally on your own device, so clearing your browser storage will bring the banner back and let you decide again.
2. Categories we use
| Category | Purpose | Typical lifetime | Consent |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Remembering your cookie choice, keeping the site secure and preventing form abuse. | 12 months | Not required |
| Analytics | Understanding which pages homeowners read and where they leave, in aggregate. | Up to 26 months | Required |
| Advertising | Measuring whether a search advertisement led to a genuine enquiry, including the Microsoft Advertising UET tag. | Up to 13 months | Required |
| Preferences | Remembering interface choices such as a dismissed notice. | 6 months | Required |
3. Third parties
Where you consent to analytics or advertising, cookies may be set by Microsoft Corporation (Microsoft Advertising and Microsoft Clarity) and by our web font provider. These providers process data under their own privacy notices; we do not receive information that identifies you personally from them.
4. Managing cookies in your browser
- Microsoft Edge — Settings › Cookies and site permissions › Manage and delete cookies
- Google Chrome — Settings › Privacy and security › Third-party cookies
- Safari — Settings › Privacy › Manage Website Data
- Firefox — Settings › Privacy & Security › Cookies and Site Data
Blocking all cookies will not prevent you from reading the site, but the consent banner will reappear on every visit and our forms may behave unpredictably.
5. Do Not Track
Our site does not respond to browser Do Not Track signals, because there is no common standard for how they should be interpreted. Your cookie banner choice governs what we set.
