Introduction

Leon uses cookies on its website and related services to ensure secure operation, deliver a responsive experience, and analyse how users interact with the site. This policy explains what cookies we place, why we place them, how long they persist, and how you can manage or withdraw consent.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files created by a web server and stored in your browser. They enable the site to remember preferences, maintain session state, and collect information about how you use the site. Cookies do not run programs and cannot access data on your device beyond what you permit by their use.

Types of cookies we use

• Essential cookies — strictly required for core functions such as authenticating your session and maintaining security. These cookies are indispensable for the site to operate and generally expire at the end of your browser session, or after a short security window.
• Functional cookies — remember preferences and settings (for example, language and regional options) and recognise that you have acknowledged this Cookie Policy. These cookies may persist beyond the session for a period determined by their purpose and your selections.
• Analytical/Performance cookies — collect information about how you use the site; data is processed in a manner that generally anonymises or pseudonymises individuals for the purpose of improving site performance and user experience. Retention for these cookies is period-based and defined by the category, typically up to several months to a year.
• Marketing/Targeting cookies — track your visits and interactions to present relevant advertising and promotions. These are persistent cookies that may remain for multiple months. You can opt out of these cookies, which will limit personalised advertising but may reduce some site functionality.

Third-party cookies

Leon may place cookies from third-party providers for analytics and advertising purposes. We require such providers to act in accordance with applicable privacy laws and to respect your preferences. Third-party cookies operate under their own policies, which you may review separately within your browser or platform’s settings. Leon does not control these third parties.

Consent and withdrawal

On first visit to the Leon platform, a cookie banner is presented requesting consent for non-essential cookies. By continuing to browse after being informed, you consent to non-essential cookies unless you have previously modified your preferences. You may withdraw or modify consent at any time by using the Cookie Settings in the site footer or by adjusting your browser settings. Changes to consent take effect on subsequent visits. If you withdraw consent, non-essential cookies will be disabled or deleted where feasible on future interactions.

Managing cookies

Browser controls

Your browser provides controls to manage cookies. You may delete existing cookies, block new cookies, or be prompted before cookies are set. Blocking essential cookies may impair site functionality.

Leon cookie preferences

Within the Leon platform, you can access Cookie Settings to Accept All Cookies, Customize Preferences, or Withdraw Consent. Changes apply on the next page load and may not remove cookies stored prior to withdrawal; where technically feasible, such cookies will be deleted.

Data retention and security

Non-essential cookies are retained for a period consistent with their category. Essential cookies expire at the end of the session or earlier for security purposes. You may request deletion of cookies stored on your device, subject to legal and operational constraints. We implement appropriate security measures to protect cookie data during transmission and storage.

Do Not Track

Leon respects Do Not Track signals where they are implemented by your browser. When Do Not Track is active, non-essential cookies will not be used to track your activity beyond what is necessary for site operation.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Updates are posted on this page and are effective from the date shown at the top of the policy. Material changes will be communicated through the platform where appropriate.

Contact information

If you have questions or concerns about this policy or how we use cookies, contact Leon through the platform's support channels. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe.
