What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember preferences, keep essential functions working, and—if you allow—understand how pages are used.
How we use cookies
East Lantern Audit Office uses essential cookies required for basic site operation and optional analytics cookies that run only after you accept them in the consent banner. Rejecting optional cookies does not block access to pages, forms, or engagement information.
Types of cookies
- Essential — remember your cookie consent choice and support form security basics.
- Analytics — help us see aggregated visit patterns such as which journal articles are read most often.
Cookies table
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|

| ela_session | Maintains a short-lived session token for form abuse prevention | Session | East Lantern Audit Office |

Managing or disabling cookies
Use Accept or Reject on our consent banner when it appears. You can clear the stored choice by deleting site data for routinginfrastructure.digital in your browser settings; the banner will appear again on your next visit. You may also block cookies entirely in your browser, though essential storage for consent may be limited.
Third-party cookies
Embedded fonts may be requested from Google Fonts; that request can expose your IP address to Google. We do not load third-party advertising cookies. If we introduce additional third-party tools later, this page will be updated.
Impact of disabling
Disabling optional analytics cookies has no effect on reading pages or requesting an estimate. Blocking all storage may require you to see the consent banner on every visit.
