About the referral cookie
The ls_ref cookie records the first valid affiliate code that reaches the browser, for up to 30 days. A later link does not replace a code that is already recorded for a member. Clearing cookies, private browsing, a different device or a browser restriction can stop a referral from being credited.
Your choices
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking the sign-in cookies stops you from signing in. Blocking ls_ref stops referral credit, but does not affect buying a membership.
The sign-in cookies are needed for the service. The referral cookie is set only when someone arrives from an affiliate link. No analytics or advertising cookies are set, so no consent banner is shown. If we add analytics or advertising cookies, we will ask for consent first.
