Cookie policy
Which cookies Lanyards Trader LTD trading as ClickTrap trading as ClickTrap uses, and the choices you have.
Effective from 01.10.2026.
1. In short
Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser; similar technologies, such as the browser’s local storage, work in the same way. We use a few that are strictly necessary for our website and app to work. On our public website we also use optional ones, for analytics and marketing, but only as you choose.
You can change your choice at any time: open your cookie settings, or use “Cookie settings” at the bottom of every page.
2. Your choices
- Nothing optional is used until you agree, where the law asks for consent first (such as the UK and the European Economic Area). Rejecting is as easy as accepting, and our website works the same either way.
- Where the law lets us use optional cookies until you object, you can opt out at any time, including of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under US state privacy laws. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as an opt-out of marketing cookies.
- We remember your choice for 182 days, then ask again; we also ask again when the cookies we use change.
- We keep a record of your choice (what you chose, when, and the policy version, but not your IP address) to show that we respect it.
- You can also block or delete cookies in your browser’s settings. Blocking strictly necessary ones stops signing in from working.
We use Google’s consent mode: Google’s tags are told your choice before they run, and don’t set analytics or advertising cookies without your consent.
3. Strictly necessary
Keep you signed in, protect forms and remember your cookie choice. They can’t be switched off. These are used on our website and in our app, and don’t need consent.

7. On our customers’ websites
Our click-fraud tracking code on our customers’ websites doesn’t set cookies. It keeps the current visit, including counts of scrolling, movement and clicks, in the browser’s session storage, which is cleared when the tab is closed. Where a customer switches it on, it also tells the website’s own tags whether a visitor from an ad looks genuine; those tags, and any cookies they set, are the customer’s. How it works, and our customers’ responsibilities, are in our privacy policy.
