Introduction
LeMedia uses cookies and similar technologies to enable your account to function properly, enhance security, and improve your experience. This policy explains what cookies we use and how you can control them.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. They help websites remember information about you, like your login status and preferences. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and web beacons.
Cookie Consent
By default, we do not set non-essential cookies until you accept them.When you first visit LeMedia, you'll see a cookie consent banner. Only essential cookies (required for authentication and security) are set by default.
Types of Cookies We Use
1. Essential Cookies (Always Required)
These cookies are necessary for the app to function. You cannot disable these without losing functionality.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| lemedia_session | Maintains your logged-in session | 30 days (configurable) |
| lemedia_csrf | Prevents CSRF attacks on form submissions | 30 days |
| lemedia_flash | Displays one-time success messages | Session |
| lemedia_flash_error | Displays one-time error messages | Session |

2. Analytics & Performance Cookies (Requires Consent)
Currently, we do not implement third-party analytics cookies. Future analytics implementation will require explicit consent.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Cloudflare Turnstile: On the login page, Cloudflare may set cookies for bot detection. This is essential for account security.
Third-Party Integrations: When you authorize SSO providers (Google, GitHub, OIDC), those services may set their own cookies. Consult their privacy policies for details.
Browser Storage Technologies
Local Storage
We use browser local storage to remember:
- Your color theme preference (dark/light mode)
- UI state (like sidebar open/closed)
- Consent preferences
Local storage persists until you manually clear it or uninstall the app.
Session Storage
Session storage is used for temporary data during your browsing session (like unsubmitted form data) and is automatically cleared when you close your browser.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Change Your Preferences
You can change your cookie consent at any time by:
- Looking for the cookie banner on the login page
- Accessing your account settings at /settings/profile/general
- Clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the app
