When adding a tracking script to your website to collect visitor information, Dealfront sets _lfa and _lfa_expiry cookie to track all website visits. In addition, if the Pipedrive/Dealfront customer has configured the consent manager it will create the _lfa_consent cookie to keep track of what the visitor has answered to the consent dialog.
The visitor might also see traces of the _lfa_test_cookie_stored as it’s used to check if cookies are enabled or not.
