Guidance for Lead Forensics Cookie Placement
The Lead Forensics cookie, is a small text file that is stored on the browser or hard drive of a computer or
mobile device when someone visits your website.
Cookies are widely used to make websites more efficient for users and to provide insight to the website
operator.
The Lead Forensics cookie structure and operation is standard, and has the purpose of:
1) Providing you, the website operator with more granular insight with regard to how your website
visitors use and navigate around your website
2) Allow you, the website operator to know when you have a returning visitor to your website
3) Enable you, the website operator to provide a richer, more personalised experience for your returning
website visitors
When using any sort of cookie on a website, the business operating the website must allow visitors to the website, the option of accepting or declining the use of cookies. They must also inform the website visitor what cookies are being used and why. This is usually carried out in the form of a banner or small pop up box at the point of entry to the website, informing the website visitor that cookies are being used, offering an accept or decline option and providing a link to read more about the cookies used on a separate section of the website.
Cookies are commonplace and most websites use at least one cookie already. It is therefore anticipated that most organisations will already have a cookie policy available on their website, as well as the option to accept or decline cookies.
If further guidance is required with regard to cookies, the guidelines around the use of cookies and how to write a cookie policy, please visit the ICO website for further information – https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-pecr/cookies-and-similar-technologies/
