Clear and transparent information regarding cookie usage and local storage at Lexbell.
1. What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file stored on your browser or device when you visit websites. Cookies allow websites to remember information about your visit, such as your preferred language and basic configuration options.
Similar technologies include local storage (localStorage) and session storage, which allow web applications to store preferences directly in your browser without transmitting them on every network request.
2. Our Commitment: Privacy and Local-First Architecture
Lexbell was built on the core principle of attorney-client privilege and strict confidentiality. This design philosophy guides both our native desktop app and our official website (lex-bell.com):
- We never sell or rent your data to data brokers or advertising exchanges.
- We do not use intrusive cross-site tracking cookies to follow you across the internet.
- Client matter files, contacts, and calendar records in the Lexbell desktop app reside exclusively on your computer and are never stored via web cookies.
3. Types of cookies we use
On our website, we only use cookies strictly necessary for operation, along with aggregated technical performance measurement:
A. Essential & Technical Cookies (Strictly Necessary)
These cookies are required for the website to function securely and reliably. They do not gather marketing data and cannot be turned off.
- Language preference (i18n): Remembers whether you browse in English or Spanish so you don't have to select it on every page.
- Consent management (lexbell_cookie_consent): Stores your privacy and cookie choice locally so we don't display unnecessary banners.
- Session security & fraud prevention: Technical headers and tokens safeguarding contact and support forms against CSRF and automated spam.
B. Performance & Technical Metrics (Optional)
We use aggregated performance measurement tools with IP anonymization enabled to understand page load times, detect 404 broken links, and optimize site speed across different browsers.
This data is analyzed in aggregated statistical formats and cannot be used to identify individual users.
4. How to control and manage cookies
You have full control over cookie settings at any time:
- The "Manage Cookies" button: Available on this page and in the footer across the entire website, allowing you to update your preferences anytime.
