ILP uses no advertising cookies and no third-party trackers. Signing in does not use cookies: we use a few browser storage items that the site needs to work, and one optional measurement id that you can allow or refuse.
Needed for the site to work
These are set only when you use the feature, and they are not used for advertising.
- ilp_client_token, ilp_lawyer_token, ilp_staff_token (browser storage)
- Keep you signed in. A random sign-in token kept in your browser's local storage and sent only to ILP's server over HTTPS. Member sessions last 7 days from your last visit (up to 30 days); lawyer and staff sessions 12 hours. Signing out deletes it from your browser and ends the session on our server.
- ilp_check (this tab only)
- Carries your free-check answers into the join form. Cleared when you close the tab.
- ilp_status_matter, ilp_rating_later (this tab only)
- Remember which matter you were viewing and that you chose to rate a call later.
- ilp_shell_nav_collapsed, ilp_lawyer_board_view
- Remember how you like the menu and the lawyer board laid out.
- ilp_measure_choice
- Remembers your answer about the measurement id below.
- ilp_chatbot_session
- Only if you use the website chat: a random id that keeps your conversation together when you come back. No name or email.
- Service worker and push subscription
- Only if you turn on notifications: lets your browser show deadline reminders.
Optional: anonymous measurement id
If you allow it, we keep a random id (ilp_funnel_id) and the site that sent you (ilp_funnel_src) in your browser, to count how many people move from the free check to joining. No name or email is attached. When you join, the id is linked to your membership so we can count conversions.
With the same permission we keep a second random id (ilp_vid), a visit id for this tab (ilp_journey_session) and the link or site that brought you (ilp_journey_src). We record which ILP pages you open, how long you spend on them, the steps you reach in the check, join and lawyer application forms, which button you press and which form field showed an error. We never record what you type. When we test two versions of a page, we remember which one you saw (ilp_journey_assign, ilp_journey_exposed) so it stays the same. Pages inside your member, lawyer or staff account are counted as one visit, nothing more.
If you refuse, or your browser sends the Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track signal, we do not store these ids and send nothing. No thanks also removes the ids already stored. You can change your choice below at any time.
Why there is no large cookie banner
The storage items above are needed for the service you ask for, so we do not ask for consent for them. We ask once, in a small notice, about the optional measurement id. [Counsel: confirm no broader consent banner is required for Costa Rica and US visitors, and whether one is needed if ILP markets to visitors in the EU or UK.]
