1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on or accessed through your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. They help websites function properly, remember certain preferences, maintain security, and provide information about website performance and usage.
Cookies may include:
Session cookies, which generally expire when you close your browser.
Persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a specified period or until deleted.
First-party cookies, which are placed by the website you are visiting.
Third-party cookies, which may be placed by external services or integrations used by the website.
Some cookies are necessary for normal website operation, while others support optional features such as analytics or advertising.
2. Why We Use Cookies
LSC uses cookies and similar technologies to support the operation, security, functionality, and performance of our website.
These technologies may be used to:
Enable essential website features and functionality.
Remember visitor preferences and cookie consent choices.
Maintain website security and help prevent unauthorized activity.
Understand general website traffic and visitor interactions.
Identify technical issues and improve website performance.
Support approved third-party website features and integrations.
Our website is hosted through Squarespace, which provides cookie management tools and uses cookies to support website functionality, security, and analytics.
LSC does not intentionally use its website for behavioral advertising, advertising retargeting, or the sale of visitor information to advertisers.
However, Squarespace and certain third-party integrations may support additional cookie categories or technologies depending on the features and services enabled.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
Our website's cookie preference system identifies the following categories:
Necessary Cookies
Necessary cookies support essential website functionality, security, and the storage of visitor preferences.
These cookies may help maintain core website features, support form functionality, and remember choices made through the cookie consent system.
Necessary cookies are identified as “Always on” within our website's cookie management panel because they are required for normal website operation.
Visitors may still restrict or block cookies through their browser settings, although doing so may interfere with certain website functions.
Performance and Analytics Cookies
Performance and analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website.
These cookies may collect information about website visits, traffic sources, pages viewed, browser characteristics, and general usage patterns.
This information may be used to evaluate website performance, identify technical issues, and improve functionality and usability.
Depending on the technologies involved, analytics information may include IP addresses, device identifiers, or other technical information that could constitute personal information under applicable law.
Performance and analytics cookies are disabled by default within our website's cookie preference panel and may be enabled by visitors who choose to allow them.
Advertising Cookies
Advertising cookies may be used by advertising platforms or third-party services to deliver advertisements, measure advertising activity, or personalize advertising based on visitor interests.
LSC does not intentionally operate behavioral advertising or retargeting campaigns through its website.
However, our Squarespace cookie preference system includes an advertising category to accommodate advertising-related technologies that may be supported by the website platform or applicable integrations.
Advertising cookies are disabled by default within our website's cookie preference panel.
The presence of this category does not necessarily mean that LSC actively uses advertising cookies.
If advertising-related technologies are introduced in the future, LSC will update its disclosures and implement any consent or other controls required by applicable law.
4. How to Control Cookies
When visitors access our website, they are presented with a cookie consent banner offering the following options:
Accept: Allows the use of optional cookies in accordance with the website's cookie settings.
Decline: Rejects optional cookies managed through the website's consent system.

Within the cookie preference panel, necessary cookies are identified as always active, while performance and analytics cookies and advertising cookies are disabled by default.
Visitors may enable or disable available optional cookie categories and save their selections.
Where required by applicable law, nonessential cookies subject to consent should not be activated before the visitor provides the necessary consent.
Cookie preferences may apply only to the browser or device on which they are selected. Visitors who use multiple browsers or devices may need to manage their preferences separately.
Visitors may also control cookies through their browser settings, including options to:
Block certain or all cookies.
Delete previously stored cookies.
Receive notifications about cookies.
Restrict third-party cookies.
Disabling necessary cookies may affect website functionality, including the ability to remember certain preferences or use particular website features.

5. Legal Basis for Cookie Use
Where applicable privacy and data protection laws require a legal basis for using cookies or processing associated personal information, LSC relies on the basis appropriate to the particular activity.
These may include:
Consent: For nonessential cookies, including analytics or advertising cookies, where affirmative consent is required by applicable law.
Legitimate Interests: For certain activities reasonably necessary to operate, maintain, secure, and improve the website, where permitted by applicable law.
Legal Obligations: Where processing is necessary to comply with applicable legal or regulatory requirements.
Cookies that are strictly necessary to provide a service requested by a visitor or maintain essential website functionality may be used without separate consent where permitted by applicable law.
Visitors may withdraw or modify cookie consent through available website preference controls or applicable browser settings.
Withdrawal of consent does not affect processing lawfully performed before consent was withdrawn.
Where applicable law requires additional disclosures, consent mechanisms, or opt-out rights, LSC will take reasonable steps to comply with those requirements.
6. State and International Privacy Rights
Certain U.S. state privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CCPA/CPRA”), may provide eligible individuals with rights concerning personal information collected through cookies and similar technologies.
Depending on applicable law and whether LSC falls within its scope, these rights may include requesting access to, correction of, or deletion of qualifying personal information.
Certain laws may also provide rights to opt out of particular uses or disclosures of personal information, including qualifying sales or sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising.
LSC does not knowingly sell personal information or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
Visitors located in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), United Kingdom, or other jurisdictions with applicable data protection requirements may have additional rights concerning cookies and associated personal information.
These rights may include the ability to provide or withdraw consent, request information about data processing, and exercise other rights established by applicable law.
The availability and scope of these rights depend on the applicable legal requirements and the nature of the information involved.
