Cookie and Tracking Technology Policy

When you visit our websites, use our services, applications, tools, or messaging services, we or our authorized service providers may use cookies, web beacons, tags, and other similar technologies to store information, helping you receive services better, faster, and more securely, as well as for advertising purposes. This page is designed to help you learn more about these technologies and how we use them on our websites, as well as in our services, applications, and tools. Below, you can review the content of our Cookie Usage Policy.

Our cookies and similar technologies serve various functions. They are essential for the operation of our services or help us improve our performance, provide you with additional features, or help us show you relevant and targeted information. We use cookies and similar technologies that remain on your device only as long as your browser is active (session cookies), as well as cookies and similar technologies that remain on your device for a longer period (persistent cookies). You can block, delete, or disable these cookies if your device permits. You can manage your cookies and cookie settings in your browser or device settings. Security measures are taken wherever possible to prevent unauthorized access to our cookies and similar technologies. A unique identifier ensures that only we and/or our authorized service providers have access to the cookie data.

Service providers are companies that help us in various aspects of our business, such as website operations, services, applications, advertising, and tools. We use the services of certain authorized service providers to send reminders of specific events or to show you relevant information about our services and in other places on the Internet. These service providers may also place cookies on your device through our services (third-party cookies). They may also collect information that helps them identify your device, such as IP address or other unique device identifiers.

What are cookies, web beacons (tags), and similar technologies?

Like most sites, we use technologies that essentially represent small data files placed on your computer, tablet, mobile phone, or other devices (collectively referred to as "device"), allowing us to record certain pieces of information each time you visit or interact with our sites, services, applications, messages, and tools. The specific names and types of cookies, web beacons (tags), and other similar technologies we use may change from time to time. To help you better understand our Cookie Usage Policy and other technologies, we provide the following limited terminology and definitions:

Cookies – small text files (typically made up of letters and numbers) placed in your browser or device memory when you visit a website or view a message. Cookies allow a website to recognize a particular device or browser. There are several types of cookies:

- Session cookies expire at the end of your browser session, allowing us to link your actions during that specific browser session.
- Persistent cookies are stored on your device between browser sessions, allowing us to remember your preferences or actions across multiple sites.
- First-party cookies are set by the site you are visiting.
- Third-party cookies are set by a third-party site separate from the site you are visiting.

Cookies can be disabled or deleted using tools available in most commercial browsers. Each browser you use must be set separately, and different browsers offer different features and options.

Web beacons (tags) – small graphic images (also known as "pixel tags" or "clear GIFs") that may be included in our sites, services, applications, messaging, and tools, typically working in conjunction with cookies to identify users and user behavior.

Fingerprinting technologies – technologies that store information in your browser or device using local shared objects or local storage, such as Flash cookies, HTML5 cookies, and other software web storage methods. These technologies may work across all your browsers and, in some cases, may not be fully managed by your browser and may require management directly through your installed applications or device. We do not use these technologies to store information for targeted advertising purposes on or off our sites.

We may use the terms "cookies" or "similar technologies" interchangeably in our policies to refer to all technologies that we may use to store data in your browser or on your device or to collect information or help us identify you as described above.

Why we use cookies

Our cookies and similar technologies serve different functions. They are either essential for the operation of our services or help us improve our performance, provide you with additional features, or help us show you relevant and targeted information and messages, including advertising. We use both session and persistent cookies and similar technologies.

In general, these technologies allow our sites, services, applications, and tools to store relevant information in your browser or device and then read that information to identify your device on our servers or internal systems. Where applicable, we protect our cookies and other similar technologies to ensure that only we and/or our authorized service providers can interpret them, providing them with a unique identifier designed to be interpreted only by us.

We use these technologies in the following categories:

- Essential. We may use cookies, web beacons, or other similar technologies that are necessary for the operation of our sites, services, applications, and tools. This includes technologies that allow you to access our sites, services, applications, and tools; those needed to detect site abnormal behavior, prevent fraud, and enhance security; or those that allow you to use our features, such as recurring payments, saved searches, or similar functions.

- Performance-related. We may use cookies, web beacons, or other similar technologies to assess the performance of our websites, applications, services, and tools, including as part of our analytics practices, to help us understand how our visitors use our websites, determine how you interacted with our messages, determine whether you viewed an item or link, or to improve website content, programs, services, or tools.

- Functionality-related. We may use cookies, web beacons, or other similar technologies that allow us to offer you enhanced functionality when accessing or using our sites, services, applications, or tools. This may include identifying you when you sign in to our sites or tracking your specified preferences, interests, or past views to improve content on our sites.

- Advertising or targeting. We may use our own or third-party cookies and web beacons to deliver content, including advertising, according to your interests on our sites or third-party sites. This includes using technologies to understand how useful advertisements and content delivered to you are, such as whether you clicked on an ad.

Use of these technologies by authorized third-party service providers

We may work with third-party companies, typically known as service providers, who are authorized to place third-party cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies to store information on our sites or in our services, applications, and tools with our permission. These service providers help us provide you with a better, faster, and more secure experience.

These service providers may use such technologies to help us deliver our own content and advertising, as well as collect anonymous metrics and site analytics. We do not allow any of these service providers to collect any of your personal information on our sites or in our services, applications, or tools for their own purposes. These service providers are subject to confidentiality agreements with us and other legal restrictions on their use or collection of any personal information. Third-party cookies are not governed by our privacy policy.

Except for the use of such technologies by our service providers or other authorized third parties, we do not allow any third-party content on our sites (such as product listings, participant communications, secret listings, comments, reviews, etc.) to use any cookies, web beacons, local storage, or similar technologies for tracking purposes or for collecting your personal information. If you believe that certain third-party tools or other third-party content may collect personal information or use tracking technologies on one of our sites, please report this at Email: lle.com.ua@gmail.com.

Ad networks and exchanges managed by authorized third parties for interest-based advertising

Such third-party ad networks and providers may use third-party cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies to collect information about your visit to our site and other sites on the Internet. They may also collect your device identifier, IP address, or advertising identifier (IDFA). The information collected by these third parties may be used to provide you with more relevant advertising on our sites or elsewhere on the Internet.
