Effective Date: September 1, 2026


Overview

This Cookies Policy explains how Louisiana REALTORS® (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on www.larealtors.org (the “Site”). By continuing to browse or use the Site, you agree to our use of cookies as described here. For more on our privacy practices, please see our Privacy Policy here, which this Cookies Policy links to and incorporates by reference.


What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website, used to make websites work, improve user experience, and provide information to site owners.


How We Use Cookies and Consent

We use cookies to operate the Site, remember your preferences, understand Site performance, and, where applicable, deliver and measure outreach. Where required by law, we set non-essential cookies only after you provide consent via our cookie banner. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by using the “Cookie Settings” link in the Site footer [or within your account settings if implemented]. Essential cookies will continue to function regardless of consent because they are necessary to provide the Site.


Cookie Categories We Use

  • Strictly Necessary Cookies: Enable core functions like page navigation, secure login, and access to member-only areas. These are typically session cookies or short-lived persistent cookies.
  • Functional Cookies: Remember choices such as language, region, or display settings to provide a more personalized experience. These are generally persistent and may last from days to months.
  • Analytics/Performance Cookies: Help us understand how visitors use the Site (for example, pages visited, time spent, errors encountered) so we can improve functionality and content. These are typically persistent and may last up to approximately two years.
  • Advertising/Targeting Cookies: May be used, if applicable, to deliver relevant content or measure the effectiveness of outreach. These are often persistent and may be set by us or by third parties. We do not sell personal information and do not disclose it for cross-context behavioral advertising as defined by certain state laws.


First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set by us on the Site. Third-party cookies are set by other parties, such as analytics providers, embedded content services, social media plugins, or MLS/IDX tools integrated into the Site.


Third-Party Tools and Services

Some cookies may be placed by third-party services integrated into our Site, such as analytics providers, social media platforms, or MLS/IDX data providers. Examples of tools that may set cookies include Google Analytics, embedded video platforms, social media plugins, email marketing or marketing automation tools, and MLS/IDX or similar real estate tools. We do not control these cookies, and you should review the privacy and cookie policies of those third parties for details.


Your Choices: Cookie Banner, Settings, and Browser Controls

  • Cookie Banner and Settings: Where required, non-essential cookies will only be set after you consent in the cookie banner. You can change or withdraw consent at any time via the “Cookie Settings” link in the Site footer or another clearly labeled location, if different.
  • Browser Controls: You can control or delete cookies using your browser settings, including viewing stored cookies, deleting them individually, blocking third-party cookies, blocking cookies from particular sites, blocking all cookies, or deleting all cookies when you close your browser . Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may affect Site functionality, including the ability to log in or access certain features.


Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature, and our Site does not currently respond to DNT signals. To manage tracking, please use the Cookie Settings on our Site and your browser and device controls.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our practices, and we will post updates on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date. For material changes, we will provide additional notice via a prominent Site notice and, where feasible, by email if we have your address.
