Essential

Required for sign-in, security, and core site features. These cannot be turned off because the service would not work without them.

Analytics

Helps us understand how visitors use Lake Insights (for example, pages viewed and performance) so we can improve reliability and content. Data is used in aggregate where possible.

Advertising

Advertising technologies may be used in the future to support Lake Insights. Lake Insights does not show third-party ads today; this setting prepares for future ad partners such as Google AdSense if we enable them.

Functional & preferences

Remembers optional choices such as display preferences beyond what essential cookies require. Most preference storage today is essential for signed-in features.
