Cookie Policy
How and why luca.health uses cookies and similar technologies, and how you can control them.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your browser. They are widely used to make websites work, remember your preferences, and provide information to the site owner. We also use closely related technologies such as your browser’s local storage to remember choices you make on this site.
How we use cookies
We split cookies and similar technologies into two groups: strictly necessary, which are always on, and analytics, which only load if you accept them in our consent banner.
Strictly necessary
These are required for the website to function. Without them basic features would break.
- luca_consent (browser local storage) — records whether you accepted or declined analytics cookies, so we don’t show the banner on every visit. Stored locally in your browser; not sent to our servers.
- Cloudflare Turnstile — our contact form uses Cloudflare’s bot-protection challenge, which may set a short-lived token to confirm your submission is human.
Analytics (only after you accept)
If you accept analytics cookies, we use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the site. Until you accept, the Google Analytics script is loaded with consent denied and no analytics cookies are set.
- _ga — used by Google Analytics to distinguish unique visitors. Persists for up to 2 years.
- _ga_LNKB4PZ7RT — used by Google Analytics 4 to maintain session state for the Luca Health property. Persists for up to 2 years.
How to manage your choice
You can change your decision at any time. The simplest way is to clear the "luca_consent" entry from your browser’s local storage for luca.health and reload the page — the consent banner will appear again. You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings, though doing so may affect how this site works.
For Google Analytics specifically, you can install the official Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, which prevents data being sent to Google Analytics from any site you visit.
Do Not Track
Browsers vary in how they signal Do Not Track preferences. Where a recognised "Global Privacy Control" or similar signal is present, we treat it as a request to decline analytics cookies.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the cookies and tools we use evolve. The "Effective date" above will reflect when the latest version took effect.
