Does the lms_analytics cookie need consent?

Usually yes. lms_analytics is a functional cookie, and unless it is strictly necessary for a feature the visitor asked for, it needs consent before it is set.

How long does the lms_analytics cookie last?

lms_analytics usually lasts 30 days. The exact lifetime depends on the site's settings and the version of the script that sets it.

Who sets the lms_analytics cookie?

lms_analytics is set by LinkedIn. It is in the Functional category.

How do I block or delete the lms_analytics cookie?

Visitors can delete lms_analytics in their browser's cookie settings. On your own website, a consent banner can keep the script that sets it waiting until the visitor accepts functional cookies. Kukie.io's banner does this for known trackers by default, and for any other script you tag with its category.

Consent

Usually needed

lms_analytics is in the Functional category. Functional cookies usually need the visitor's consent, unless the cookie is strictly necessary for something the visitor asked for, such as remembering a language they just chose.

GDPR and ePrivacy (EU): Consent is needed before setting lms_analytics, unless it is strictly necessary for a feature the visitor asked for, such as remembering a language they just chose.
UK GDPR and PECR: The same as in the EU: consent first, unless the cookie qualifies for the strictly necessary exemption.
CCPA and CPRA (California): Disclose lms_analytics in your privacy policy. If the data it stores is shared with third parties, honour opt-out requests, including the Global Privacy Control signal.

Managing lms_analytics with a consent banner

A consent banner can keep the script that sets lms_analytics waiting until the visitor accepts functional cookies. Kukie.io's cookie scanner finds lms_analytics and sorts it into a category. The banner holds back known trackers by default, and any other script you tag with its category waits too.
