Cookie Statement

We use cookies and similar technologies on our website to improve your experience and provide you with a more personalized service. This Cookie Statement explains what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can control them.

What is a cookie?

Cookies are small bits of data stored on the device (e.g. your computer or mobile phone) that you use to access any of the Lightspeed Websites, including applications, and Services.

We use the word “cookies” as a catchall term to include not only cookies, but also other technologies such as pixels, web beacons and page tags. Technology is, by its nature, dynamic and ever-changing; the technological tools used today by Lightspeed are therefore subject to modification and replacement in the future.

Why do we use cookies?

We use cookies for several reasons:

To Remember Your Preferences and Settings: Cookies store your preferences, such as language, text size, and other customizable elements, so we don’t need to ask you again every time you visit.
To Enhance Functionality: We use cookies to ensure that certain key functionalities, like form submissions, login sessions, or load balancing (which helps distribute traffic evenly across our servers), work properly.
To Improve Performance: Performance cookies allow us to understand how visitors use our website, helping us identify popular pages and optimize site performance.
To Provide Personalized Advertising: Targeting cookies help us and our partners display relevant ads based on your browsing behaviour and interests.
