Lumera Research uses essential cookies for the report basket and sample access, plus a small number of local-storage entries for features you choose to use. Cookies and local storage both save information in your browser, although they work differently.
We do not use third-party analytics, advertising, retargeting or social-media tracking cookies. To rank Insights and understand report readership, we maintain aggregate view counts by article and report. A tab-session marker prevents reloads in that tab from counting again; neither the marker nor the counter identifies a visitor.
Browser storage in use
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| lumera_sid | Essential cookie | Creates an anonymous session when you use the basket, so selected reports remain associated with that basket and an order can be completed. | Up to 1 year |
| __Host-lumera-sample-access (or lumera-sample-access locally) | Essential cookie | Grants a visitor who submitted the report sample form temporary access to the current shared sample PDF. The cookie carries a random token; the server stores only its hash and links the request to the selected report. | 30 minutes |
| lumera-theme | Local storage | Remembers whether you selected the light or dark appearance. | Until cleared |
| lumera-currency | Local storage | Remembers the currency in which you prefer report prices to be displayed. | Until cleared |
| lumera:hl:[page path] | Local storage | Keeps highlights you choose to save while reading an insight on that device. The saved text and nearby context remain in your browser. | Until you remove the highlights or clear storage |
| lumera:insight-view:[slug] | Session storage | Prevents reloads in the same browser tab from being counted as additional reads. The server stores only aggregate counts by article, not visitor identifiers. | Until the tab closes |
| lumera:report-view:[slug] | Session storage | Prevents reloads in the same browser tab from being counted as additional report views. The server stores only aggregate counts by report, not visitor identifiers. | Until the tab closes |
| lumera-cookie-notice | Local storage | Remembers that you dismissed the cookie notice so it is not shown on every visit. | Until cleared or the notice version changes |
How to control storage
You can delete cookies and local storage through your browser settings. Blocking the basket cookie will prevent the basket from retaining reports; blocking the sample cookie will prevent a requested PDF from downloading. Clearing local storage resets your saved theme, display currency, reading highlights and notice choice.
Because the site does not set third-party analytics or advertising cookies, there are no marketing categories to accept or reject on this site. The article read counter is first-party and aggregate.
