Cookie Policy
Last updated: June 2026
This policy explains how Lanna Tick uses cookies and similar technologies on this website. It is written to be clear and readable, not to obscure what we do. If you have questions after reading it, you can reach us at [email protected].
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website places in your browser when you visit. They are stored on your device and sent back to the website on subsequent visits. Cookies serve different purposes — some are necessary for the site to work at all, others help us understand how the site is used, and others support marketing activity.
Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels, and local storage. Where this policy refers to cookies, it also covers these technologies unless stated otherwise.
2. The types of cookies we use
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function. Without them, services you have requested — such as navigating between pages or using the contact form — cannot be provided. You cannot opt out of these cookies while continuing to use the site.
| Cookie name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| cookieConsent | Stores your cookie consent preference so the banner does not appear on every page visit | Until cleared by user |
| PHPSESSID | Standard PHP session identifier for page functionality | Session |
Analytics cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use the site — which pages are visited most, where visitors come from, and how they navigate. This information is collected in aggregated form and does not identify individual visitors. We use this to improve the site over time.
| Cookie name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes users for traffic analysis | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics | Maintains session state for GA4 | 2 years |
| _gid | Google Analytics | Identifies a user session | 24 hours |
Analytics cookies are only placed if you accept them when the consent banner appears.
Marketing cookies
Marketing cookies allow us to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns and, where relevant, show relevant content to visitors who have previously visited the site. We use these sparingly. They are only placed with your consent.
| Cookie name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _fbp | Meta (Facebook) | Identifies browsers for advertising measurement | 3 months |
| _uetsid | Microsoft (Bing) | Session tracking for Bing Ads conversion measurement | Session |
Preference cookies
Preference cookies remember choices you have made — such as language or display settings — so you do not need to select them again on future visits. At present we do not use preference cookies beyond the consent record stored in localStorage.
3. How we obtain your consent
When you first visit this site, a cookie consent banner appears at the bottom of the page. You can accept all cookies or decline non-essential ones. Your choice is stored in your browser's local storage under the key cookieConsent.
If you decline, only strictly necessary cookies are placed. Analytics, marketing, and preference cookies are not loaded until you have given consent for each category.
You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser's local storage for this site, which will cause the consent banner to reappear on your next visit. Instructions for clearing local storage vary by browser — your browser's help documentation will guide you.
4. Managing cookies in your browser
Most browsers allow you to view, block, and delete cookies through their settings. Blocking all cookies will affect the functionality of many websites, including this one. Below are links to cookie management guidance for common browsers.
- Google Chrome — Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox — Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data

6. Third-party cookies
Some cookies on this site are set by third-party services rather than directly by Lanna Tick. These include Google Analytics and, where advertising campaigns are active, Meta and Microsoft Bing. Each of these services has its own privacy and cookie policy, which governs how they handle data they collect.
We do not control third-party cookies and cannot access the data they collect independently. If you have concerns about a specific third-party service, we recommend reviewing their policy directly.
7. Cookies and personal data
Some cookies used for analytics or advertising may be considered personal data under applicable law, because they can be used to identify a device or user over time. Where this applies, we handle such data in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
Strictly necessary cookies do not collect personal data in a way that could identify you as an individual.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the date at the top of this page. If any changes are significant, we will make this clear when you next visit the site.
We encourage you to check this page periodically if you want to stay informed about how we use cookies.
