# Cookie Policy

*Last updated: 23 April 2026.* *Operated by Lid Labs Technologies - FZCO (Trade Licence 65802, DIEZA, Dubai, UAE).*

{% hint style="info" %}
**In plain language.** Cookies are small files stored on your device that help Lid work and help us understand how the service is used. Some are essential and always on. Others run only if you accept them. You can change your choice at any time from the cookie banner on `lid.pro` or the settings link in our footer.
{% endhint %}

## 1. About this Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Lid Labs Technologies - FZCO ("Lid," "we," "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on `lid.pro`, `app.lid.pro`, and any Lid-operated domain.

This Policy is part of the [Privacy Policy](/legal/privacy.md). Read both together for the full picture of how we handle your data.

## 2. What cookies are

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device (computer, tablet, phone) when you visit. It lets the site remember what you did — for example, that you logged in, what language you chose, or which cookie categories you accepted.

"Similar technologies" covers tools that do the same job:

* **Local storage and session storage** — data saved in your browser.
* **Pixels and beacons** — small images or scripts that measure page loads and clicks.
* **SDKs** — code inside our product that stores device-level settings.
* **Device fingerprinting signals** — we do not use device fingerprinting to identify visitors without consent.

For the rest of this Policy, "cookies" means cookies and similar technologies together.

## 3. Categories of cookies we use

### 3.1 Strictly necessary cookies (always on)

These cookies are required for the service to work. They do not need consent under UAE PDPL, GDPR, or ePrivacy rules.

They support:

* Keeping you signed in to your account.
* Connecting your wallet through our authentication provider.
* Processing a checkout through Solana Pay.
* Protecting the site from fraud and abuse (for example, DDoS protection).
* Remembering your cookie choices.

You cannot turn these off. If you block them in your browser, parts of Lid will not work.

### 3.2 Preference cookies (optional)

These cookies remember choices you make, so the site behaves the way you like it. Examples:

* Language preference.
* Interface theme (light or dark).
* Most recent wallet used.

Turning these off will still let you use Lid. You will need to set your preferences again each visit.

### 3.3 Analytics cookies (optional)

These cookies help us understand how Lid is used so we can improve it. They tell us which pages are visited, how long people stay, and which features are used. Where possible, we use IP truncation and other measures to reduce how identifiable the data is.

Examples of providers: PostHog, Sentry.

### 3.4 Marketing cookies (optional)

These cookies help us measure the performance of our marketing campaigns. We may use them to understand which channels bring users to Lid and which content resonates.

**We do not use cookies to sell personal data or to share it for cross-context behavioural advertising.** We do not run retargeted display advertising today. If this changes, we will update this Policy and ask for fresh consent where required.

## 4. Third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by third-party services we use. Each provider has its own cookie and privacy policy.

| Provider   | Purpose                              | Category           | Privacy policy                   |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------ | ------------------ | -------------------------------- |
| Privy      | Wallet connection and authentication | Strictly necessary | privy.io/privacy                 |
| Cloudflare | DDoS protection, bot defence         | Strictly necessary | cloudflare.com/privacypolicy     |
| Vercel     | Hosting and content delivery         | Strictly necessary | vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy  |
| PostHog    | Product analytics                    | Analytics          | posthog.com/privacy              |
| Sentry     | Error monitoring                     | Analytics          | sentry.io/privacy                |
| HubSpot    | Marketing automation, newsletters    | Marketing          | legal.hubspot.com/privacy-policy |

We review this list regularly and keep it current on this page.

## 5. Your choices

### First time you visit

A banner asks which categories you accept. Strictly necessary cookies are set by default because they are required. You can accept all, reject all except strictly necessary, or choose categories individually.

### Change your mind

Click "Cookie settings" in our footer at any time to change your selection. Your new choice applies from that point on.

### Browser controls

You can block cookies from your browser settings. This is broader than our banner — it affects every site you visit. Blocking all cookies will stop Lid from working.

Guides:

* Chrome: `support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647`
* Safari: `support.apple.com/guide/safari/manage-cookies-sfri11471`
* Firefox: `support.mozilla.org/kb/block-websites-storing-site-data`
* Edge: `support.microsoft.com/microsoft-edge`

### Global Privacy Control

We honour the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal for users in California. If your browser sends GPC, we treat it as an opt-out of "sale" and "sharing" of personal information under CCPA.

### Do Not Track

Browsers send different "Do Not Track" signals that the industry has not agreed on. We do not respond to generic Do Not Track headers. We honour GPC, as noted above.

## 6. Cookie lifespan

Cookies fall into two types by lifespan:

* **Session cookies** — deleted when you close the browser.
* **Persistent cookies** — stored for a set time (minutes to months), unless you delete them.

For each cookie we set, the lifespan is listed in the cookie banner detail view. None of our first-party cookies last longer than 13 months.

## 7. Data we collect through cookies

Through cookies and similar tech we may collect:

* IP address (we truncate where possible for analytics).
* Device and browser identifiers.
* Pages visited and actions taken on Lid.
* Referral sources.
* Session duration.
* Email open and click data, for marketing emails you have subscribed to.

See the [Privacy Policy](/legal/privacy.md) for how long we keep each category and how to exercise your rights.

## 8. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy to reflect new features, new providers, or changes in the law. When we do, we update the "Last updated" date at the top. If changes meaningfully affect your choices, we will re-prompt the cookie banner.
