This policy explains how lostmountainsoftware.com (the “site”), run by Lost Mountain Software, LLC, uses cookies and similar technologies. It covers this website only. Our mobile apps do not use cookies; see the privacy policy for how the apps handle data.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. Some are needed for the site to work. Others are optional and are used for things like measuring traffic or loading content from other services. Similar technologies, such as local storage, work the same way for the purposes of this policy.
Your choice
When you first visit, a banner asks whether to allow optional cookies. They stay off until you accept. You can choose “Accept all” or “Reject optional” with the same effort, and you can change your mind at any time with the button below or the “Cookie settings” link in the footer of every page. Your choice is remembered for 180 days.
Cookies and storage on this site
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
lms_consent | This site | Remembers your cookie choice so we do not ask again on every page. | Necessary | 180 days |
wordpress_*, wp-settings-* | WordPress | Sign-in and dashboard settings. Only set when someone logs in to the site’s admin area. Regular visitors do not receive them. | Necessary | Session to 14 days |
comment_author_* | WordPress | Only if comments are open on a post and you tick the box to save your name and email for next time. | Optional, by your action | 1 year |
We do not currently run advertising cookies, social media pixels or third-party analytics tags on this site. If that changes, they will load only after you allow optional cookies, and this table will be updated.
Services that load from other companies
Some features load files or run checks from other providers. When your browser fetches a file from them, they receive technical information such as your IP address and browser type. This can happen even without cookies.
- Google Fonts serves the typefaces used across the site (fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com). Google receives your IP address when the fonts load.
- Cloudflare Turnstile protects the contact form and login from automated spam. It runs a short check in your browser and receives signals such as your IP address, browser details and the site key. Cloudflare says it uses these signals to tell people from bots. See the Turnstile privacy policy and Cloudflare cookie policy for what it stores in your browser.
- Jetpack (Automattic) provides site statistics, image delivery from its content network (i0.wp.com) and spam filtering through Akismet. Jetpack Stats can log visitor IP address, browser details, pages visited, referring page and country, and Automattic’s documentation says these logs are retained for 28 days. Contact form entries may be sent to Akismet for spam checking. See Jetpack’s privacy information.
- App stores. Links to the Apple App Store and Google Play take you to those services, which have their own cookie and privacy policies.
- Hosting. Our hosting provider keeps standard server logs, such as IP addresses and requested pages, to run and secure the site.
Managing cookies in your browser
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block all cookies, this site still works, but we cannot remember your cookie choice and the banner will appear again on your next visit. Your browser’s “Global Privacy Control” or “Do Not Track” setting does not change how this site works today.
Changes to this policy
If we add or remove cookies we will update this page and the date at the top. If a change needs your consent, we will ask again.
