Cookie Notice

Last updated 12 November 2026

Lampsi uses as little browser storage as it can. There are no advertising, analytics or tracking cookies, so there’s no cookie banner to click through. This notice lists everything we store in your browser.

1.Cookies we set

Name	Purpose	Type	Lasts
`lampsi_session`	Keeps you signed in. Contains a random key; we store only its hash. Set only when you sign in.	Strictly necessary, first-party, HTTP-only, secure	30 days if you choose “Stay signed in”, otherwise until you close your browser (and at most 1 day). Removed when you sign out.

Because this cookie is needed for sign-in to work, it doesn’t need your consent. If you block it, you can still search, but you won’t be able to stay signed in.

2.Local and session storage

These stay in your browser and are not sent to us automatically.

Key	Purpose	Lasts
`lampsi:prefs`	Your search settings when you aren’t signed in (theme, SafeSearch, region and so on).	Until you clear it
`lampsi:theme`	Your light or dark choice, so the page doesn’t flash the wrong colours while loading.	Until you clear it
`lampsi:recent`	Your last few searches, shown as suggestions in the search box on this device.	Until you clear it

3.Third-party content

Lampsi doesn’t place third-party cookies. Some content on our pages is loaded by your browser from other services, such as website icons from DuckDuckGo, image thumbnails from the sites that host them, and YouTube videos embedded from youtube-nocookie.com on video pages. Those services receive your IP address and browser details when they load and may use their own storage under their own policies. YouTube says its privacy-enhanced mode doesn’t store cookies until you play a video.

4.Your choices

You can clear or block cookies and site data in your browser’s settings at any time. Signing out removes the session cookie. To learn more about how we handle personal information, read the Privacy Policy.
