Does the lidc cookie require consent?

lidc is used for advertising, so under the GDPR and the ePrivacy rules it may only be set after the visitor has agreed. Showing a banner is not enough on its own: the cookie must not be set before the visitor clicks accept.

Does your site set lidc before consent?

A free scan loads your site the way a new visitor sees it and lists every cookie that is set before anyone has said yes, lidc included.

How to put lidc behind consent

Remove the LinkedIn Insight Tag snippet from your site and add your LinkedIn Insight Tag ID under Integrations in Consentify instead. Consentify then loads LinkedIn Insight Tag only after the visitor has accepted advertising, so lidc is never set before consent.
