This policy explains cookies and similar browser storage used by localfocusmedia.com. Cookies are small files stored by your browser; local storage is a related mechanism for saving information on your device.
Your cookie choices
Optional Google Analytics is off by default for all visitors. Choose Accept optional cookies to enable it, Reject optional cookies to leave it off, or Cookie settings to review the options. You can reopen Cookie settings at any time, including from the footer of every page.
Rejecting analytics leaves the website and contact form available. Closing the preferences window without saving does not change your choice. Without JavaScript, the optional analytics script remains disabled. If browser storage is unavailable, your choice may only last for the current page.
Storage used on this website
| Storage | Purpose and provider | Typical lifetime |
|---|---|---|
| lfm_consent_v1 | Essential local storage set by Local Focus Media. Records your analytics choice, policy version, and decision/expiry times. | Up to 180 days; replaced when you change your choice. |
| wp_consent_* | Essential preference cookies set by WP Consent API. Communicate allowed and denied categories to compatible WordPress tools. | 30 days under the current settings; refreshed when consent is synchronized. |
| _ga and _ga_* | Optional first-party Google Analytics cookies. Distinguish browser visits and maintain session information after you accept analytics. | Google’s default is up to two years; browsers or property settings may shorten this and visits may refresh expiry. |
| WordPress and security cookies | Essential cookies can support an administrator’s sign-in, security, and explicitly requested site functions. Ordinary visitors do not receive administrator sign-in cookies. | Session or settings-dependent; varies by the function used. |
Changing or withdrawing consent
Open Cookie settings and choose Reject optional cookies, or switch off Google Analytics and save. This stops further Google Analytics measurement in this browser and removes accessible first-party Google Analytics cookies on this domain. It does not remove data already received by Google or cookies belonging to other websites.
Your choice applies to this browser. Make a choice separately on other browsers or devices. Clearing your browser’s local storage, using a private session, or reaching the 180-day expiry can cause the notice to appear again. You can also use your browser’s controls to delete or block cookies; blocking essential storage may affect site functions.
Third-party requests and linked sites
Optional analytics controls do not block requests needed to load the website. For example, Google Fonts receives technical information when delivering font files. External websites linked from this site have their own cookies and policies. The cookie controls do not grant advertising or personalized-advertising consent.
