What is it for?
Remembers a visitor’s consent choice for LinkedIn’s non-essential cookies.
What does it look like?
The value is a flag (for example 0 or 1) representing consent.
How to see it in your browser
Open your site, press F12, then choose the “Application” tab (Chrome, Edge) or “Storage” (Firefox). This cookie is written by another domain: look for it under “Cookies”, under the service’s domain. If you cannot see it, your browser may be blocking third-party cookies.
What does the rule say?
A cookie strictly necessary for the requested service does not require consent. It should still be listed in your cookie policy.
How to prevent it before the choice
It records a choice; load LinkedIn resources (Insight Tag, buttons) only after consent.
How OpenCookies handles it
OpenCookies does not block this cookie: it is needed for operation. The test still lets you see which cookies are set before any choice.

Frequently asked questions
Is it set before a choice?
It can be when a LinkedIn resource is loaded: hence the value of loading them only after consent.
Does it replace your banner?
No: it only handles LinkedIn’s cookies.
Durations are defaults and may change with configuration. This page describes a cookie; it is not legal advice.
