What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website asks your browser to store on your device.
When you return to the site, the browser sends those files back, so the site can recognise your session, remember your preferences or measure how pages are used. Similar technologies - such as local storage, session storage and small tracking pixels - work in comparable ways, and this policy covers them all under the general term “cookies”.
A cookie generally contains the name of the site that set it, a value (often a random identifier) and an expiry date. Cookies cannot read other files on your device and are not programs.
How long cookies live
Session cookies persist solely during your active browser session and are automatically deleted upon closing your browser window. Persistent cookies remain until their expiry date or until you delete them; on this site their lifetimes range from a few days to roughly two years, depending on the purpose. The exact expiry of an individual cookie can always be inspected in your browser’s storage settings.
We keep the record of your consent choices for a limited period so that the banner does not reappear at every visit; after that period we will ask again.
Why we use cookies
Lygan AF employs cookies for the purposes of maintaining website security and functionality, storing your preferences, analyzing page effectiveness, and - with your consent - tracking marketing effectiveness. Essential cookies are deployed automatically upon site access since the site's operation depends on them. Remaining cookie types are only enabled following your explicit consent, which you are free to revoke whenever you choose.
How to refuse or delete cookies
You retain the right to reconsider your choices at any time.
Through our banner
Use the cookie banner or the cookie settings link on the site to accept or reject the preference, analytics and marketing categories. Rejecting a category stops new cookies of that type from being written; cookies already stored can be cleared through your browser.
Through your browser
All major browsers allow you to view stored cookies, delete them individually or entirely, block cookies from specific sites, block all third-party cookies, or delete everything automatically when the browser closes. You will normally find these controls under a menu named “Settings”, then “Privacy”, “Privacy and security”, “Site permissions” or “Cookies and site data”. Mobile browsers offer the same options in their settings screens, and mobile operating systems provide separate controls for advertising identifiers.
Private browsing
When you access the site using a private or incognito browsing mode, most cookies are deleted upon closing that browsing session; however, this does not prevent cookies from being created during your active session.
What happens if you block cookies
Blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent parts of the site from working: you may be unable to stay signed in, submit a form or complete a secure step. Blocking preference cookies means settings such as language are not remembered. Blocking analytics or marketing cookies has no effect on functionality - you will simply not be counted in our statistics and campaign measurement.
Third-party cookies
Certain cookies are placed by third-party service providers working on our behalf, including providers of web analytics services, content distribution networks, fraud detection systems, and ad performance tracking. When you access other websites that engage these same service providers, those providers are able to access their own cookies. We do not manage the content of cookies from third parties; their handling of collected data is subject to their own privacy policies and cookie statements.
Where a third-party cookie is not strictly necessary, it is only placed after you have consented through the cookie banner. If you would like a list of the providers currently in use, contact support and we will provide the up-to-date details.
The categories we use
Each cookie used on this site is categorized into one of four categories listed below.
Strictly necessary cookies
These keep the site usable: they maintain your session while you move between pages, balance traffic across servers, protect forms against automated abuse and remember the cookie choices you have already made. They do not build a profile of you and cannot be switched off through our banner, because without them core functions such as signing in would fail.
Preference (functionality) cookies
These retain your chosen preferences - such as your preferred interface language, geographical location, visual settings, or confirmation that you've closed an informational message. They enhance site usability but aren't required; declining them doesn't prevent the site from functioning, though it will prompt you to respecify your preferences on subsequent visits.
Analytics (performance) cookies
These help us count visits, see which pages are read, how long people stay and where errors occur. The reporting is aggregated: it tells us that a page is popular or slow, not who you are. We use the results to fix problems and to improve the structure of the site.
Marketing (advertising) cookies
These record that you arrived from a particular campaign or advertisement, help avoid showing you the same message repeatedly, and measure whether a campaign led to a sign-up. They may be read by advertising partners on other websites. They are only set with your explicit consent.
| Category | Purpose | Consent needed | Typical lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Session, security, load balancing, consent record | No - required for the site to work | Session up to about 12 months |
| Preference | Language, region and display choices | Yes | Days up to about 12 months |
| Analytics | Aggregated traffic and page-performance statistics | Yes | Days up to about 24 months |
| Marketing | Campaign attribution and advertising measurement | Yes | Days up to about 24 months |
Updates and how to contact us
We review this policy periodically and update it when the cookies we use, the technologies behind them or the applicable rules change. The current version is always published on this page; material changes will be signalled on the site or through the cookie banner, and continued use after the update means the revised policy applies.
Should you have concerns regarding this policy, require information about a particular cookie, or need to assert a data-subject right, please contact our support team via the contact page. Relevant policies and documents are available at the bottom of each page, such as our Privacy Policy.
