Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, and to give the site owner information about how the site is used. We also use similar technologies such as local storage, pixels, and software development kits (SDKs). In this policy, we refer to all of these simply as “cookies.”
Cookies may be “first-party” (set by Legitly™) or “third-party” (set by another company whose services we use). They may last only for your visit (“session” cookies) or remain on your device for a set period (“persistent” cookies).
We use cookies to keep Legitly™ secure and working, to remember your preferences, to process payments, and — only where you have given consent — to understand how the site is used so we can improve it. We group the cookies we use into the categories below.
Strictly necessary cookies (always on)
These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They include cookies that secure your session, remember your cookie choices, and enable core features such as code verification and checkout. Because they are required to deliver a service you have asked for, they do not require your consent.
Functional cookies
These cookies allow the site to remember choices you make — such as your language or region — and to provide enhanced features such as our QR and G-Code tools and embedded maps. If you do not allow these cookies, some features may not work properly.
Analytics cookies
With your consent, these cookies help us understand how visitors interact with Legitly™ — for example, which pages are most visited and how people move through the site. The information is aggregated and used to improve the performance and content of our site. It is never used to advertise to you.
We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. Legitly™ does not currently use cookies to build advertising profiles or to track you across other websites. If this ever changes, we will update this policy and ask for your consent first.
| Category | Purpose | Examples | Consent? |
|---|
| Strictly necessary | Security, sessions, checkout, and remembering your cookie choice | Session cookie, legitly_cookie_consent, Stripe checkout cookies | Not required (always on) |
| Functional | Remember preferences and enable features | Language/region, QR & G-Code tool settings, maps | Yes |
| Analytics | Understand and improve how the site is used | Google Analytics (only if enabled) | Yes |
Some cookies are set by third parties that provide services on our site. We do not control these cookies, so we encourage you to review the relevant provider’s privacy policy:
- Stripe — secure payment processing. Stripe may set cookies needed to complete payments and to help prevent fraud. See Stripe’s Privacy Policy.
- Google — where enabled, we may use Google Analytics (analytics) and Google Maps (functional, for location features). See Google’s Privacy Policy.
- Embedded content — pages that include embedded videos or social widgets may set cookies from those providers when you interact with them.
On our website
When you first visit Legitly™, our cookie banner lets you Accept all, Reject all non-essential cookies, or Manage preferences by category. Non-essential cookies are not set until you give consent. You can change your choice at any time by selecting “Cookie Settings” in the footer of any page.
In your browser
Most browsers also let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the site from working. You can find instructions for Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge on each provider’s help pages.
Browser privacy signals
Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” or Global Privacy Control signals. Where we are required to do so, we treat recognized opt-out signals as a request not to set non-essential cookies.
If you access Legitly™ from the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK GDPR, and the ePrivacy Directive (often called the “Cookie Law”) apply to our use of cookies.
Legal basis
We set strictly necessary cookies because they are required to provide a service you have requested and on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a secure, functioning website. We set functional and analytics cookies only with your consent, which you provide through our cookie banner. You may withdraw your consent at any time — and doing so is as easy as giving it — by using the “Cookie Settings” link in our footer.
Your rights
Subject to applicable law, you have the right to:
- access the personal data we hold about you;
- request that we correct or erase your personal data;
- restrict or object to our processing of your personal data;
- receive your personal data in a portable format;
- withdraw your consent at any time; and
- lodge a complaint with your local Data Protection Authority (in the EEA) or the Information Commissioner’s Office (in the UK).
International data transfers
Some of our service providers (such as Stripe and Google) are located outside the EEA and the UK, which may involve transferring data to countries including the United States. Where this occurs, we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses, to protect your information.
