Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, implemented through Google Site Kit, to understand how visitors use the website. Analytics may collect information such as pages viewed, approximate geographic information, device and browser information, referral sources and interactions with the website.
Google Analytics uses first-party cookies and similar technologies for measurement. For users in the European Economic Area, Google states that individual IP addresses are not logged or stored by Google Analytics.
Analytics cookies are optional. Where consent is required, they are controlled through the website’s consent system. You can accept or reject analytics cookies and change your preferences later.
This website may also use Jetpack Stats, provided by Automattic, to obtain website statistics. Jetpack may process information such as the page visited, referring page, browser information, approximate location and technical information required to provide its statistics service.
Analytics information is used to understand things such as which pages people visit and how the website is being used. It is not used by LUC for personalised advertising.
Cookies
This website uses cookies and similar technologies.
Some cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. Other cookies, including analytics cookies, may be optional and subject to your consent.
LUC uses Complianz to manage cookie consent. When you first visit the website, you can accept optional cookies, deny them, or choose your preferences.
You can change your consent preferences later using the website’s consent controls.
For detailed and automatically updated information about the cookies and services detected on this website, please see the Cookie Policy (EU).
Embedded content and third-party services
Pages or posts may sometimes contain embedded content from other websites, such as videos, audio, social-media content or other external media.
Embedded content can behave as though you visited the third-party website directly. Those services may collect information, use cookies or similar technologies, and record your interaction with the embedded content.
Where required, Complianz may block third-party content or associated tracking until the appropriate consent has been given.
The privacy practices of those external services are governed by their own privacy policies.
