Cookie Policy
Lex Prep | Operated by Jobbit Ltd
Last updated: 23 May 2026
This cookie policy explains how Jobbit Ltd ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on the Lex Prep platform at lex-prep.uk (the "Platform"). It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
This policy complies with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR).
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember your preferences, and to collect information about how you interact with a site.
"Similar technologies" include mechanisms such as browser local storage (localStorage and sessionStorage), which serve comparable purposes to cookies but are stored differently by your browser.
2. How we use cookies and local storage
The Platform currently uses browser local storage rather than traditional cookies for its core functions. Local storage works in a similar way to cookies but the data stays on your device and is not sent to our servers with each request.
We may also set cookies on your device from time to time for essential operational purposes. The categories below describe all the storage technologies we use or may use.
Strictly necessary storage
These are essential for the Platform to function. Without them, you would not be able to log in or use the Platform. You do not need to consent to these under PECR, as they are required for the service you have requested.
| Storage item | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| lexprep_token | Local storage | Holds your authentication session token so you remain logged in between visits. Sent to our server via an HTTP header with each request. | Until you log out, or 30 days from creation (whichever is sooner). |
| lexprep_user | Local storage | Stores your user ID, username, account tier, and onboarding status locally so the Platform can display your account information without making an extra server request on each page load. | Until you log out. |
Functional storage
These remember choices you make to give you a better experience. They are not essential, but they improve usability. Under PECR, these are considered part of the service you have requested and do not require separate consent.
| Storage item | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| theme | Local storage | Remembers your chosen colour theme (light or dark) so it persists between sessions. | Persistent until cleared. |
| lexprep_reader_speed | Local storage | Stores your preferred text-to-speech reading speed. | Persistent until cleared. |
| lexprep_reader_volume | Local storage | Stores your preferred text-to-speech volume level. | Persistent until cleared. |
| reader-width | Local storage | Remembers your preferred reading pane width (comfortable or wide). | Persistent until cleared. |
Cookies we may introduce
We do not currently set any cookies. If we introduce cookies in the future (for example, for hosting infrastructure, security, or session management reasons), we will update this policy before doing so and, where required by law, obtain your consent before setting any non-essential cookies.
Possible future uses could include:
Essential cookies. Cookies set by our hosting provider (Fly.io) for load balancing, routing, or security purposes. These would be strictly necessary and would not require consent.
Performance or analytics cookies. If we ever introduce analytics tools to understand how the Platform is used in aggregate, we will seek your consent before setting any such cookies and update this policy with full details. We will not use any analytics tool that shares data with advertisers or third-party data brokers.
We will never use advertising cookies, tracking cookies, or cookies from social media platforms.
3. Third-party cookies
The Platform does not embed any third-party content, scripts, analytics, advertising, social media widgets, or tracking technologies. No third-party cookies are set by the Platform.
If this changes in the future, we will update this policy and, where required, obtain your consent.
4. How to manage local storage and cookies
You can clear local storage data for the Platform through your browser's developer tools or site settings. Be aware that clearing local storage will log you out and reset your preferences (theme, reading speed, volume).
Most browsers also allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can block or delete cookies, but this should not affect your use of the Platform at present since we do not currently rely on cookies.
For instructions on managing cookies and local storage in common browsers:
- Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Settings > Privacy > Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions
5. Your rights
Under UK GDPR, you have rights in relation to any personal data stored through cookies or local storage. See our Privacy Policy for full details of your rights and how to exercise them.
6. Changes to this policy
We will update this policy if we change the cookies or storage technologies we use. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
If we introduce any cookies that require your consent, we will implement a cookie consent mechanism on the Platform and will not set those cookies until you have given your consent.
