Cookie Policy
Introduction to Tracking Technologies
This document explains how the Le Bandit platform uses cookies and other similar tracking technologies when you use our web services. Understanding how data is collected empowers you to manage your privacy online effectively. Ensuring full transparency regarding technical operations that enable smooth service functioning, session security, and delivery of user-specific features is our top priority. The sections below detail the types of cookies used, their purposes, and how you can independently adjust your settings.
What exactly are cookies?
Cookies, also known as tracking cookies or just 'cookies', are small text fragments sent by a server and stored on your end device—for example, on your computer’s hard drive, smartphone memory, or tablet. They enable the server to recognize your browser during communication. Thanks to cookies, the website can ‘remember’ your previous interactions, such as selected language preferences, login status, or other interface settings. Cookies do not contain executable programs, cannot introduce viruses to your device, and do not extract any other data from your hard drive beyond those specifically generated for them.
Main objectives of using cookies
Our platform uses cookies for several key purposes essential to the proper functioning of complex web applications. First, cookies support authentication processes, maintaining your session after login, thus eliminating the need to re-enter your password on each page. Second, they help ensure appropriate security levels by detecting unusual behavior and potential fraud attempts. Another important aspect is the collection of aggregated, anonymous statistical data, helping us understand how users navigate the site, which directly contributes to continuous improvements in the structure and content of our service.
Classification of cookies used
To ensure complete clarity, we have divided our cookies into four main categories, reflecting their diverse functions and the degree of necessity for the platform’s operation.
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for our website to function properly and securely. They enable basic operations, such as site navigation, access to secure account areas, processing of payment-related requests, and age verification (required to confirm that the user is aged 18+). As they are indispensable for delivering the service, prior user consent is not required. Blocking these cookies in your browser will cause a significant part of the service to cease functioning.
Analytical and performance cookies
These technologies assist us in measuring and analyzing site traffic. They collect information on how users interact with the site—for example, which pages are visited most frequently or whether error messages appear. Data collected by these cookies is always aggregated and fully anonymized, meaning it does not allow identification of specific individuals. This information is used solely to optimize the website’s performance, improve page load times, and diagnose technical issues.
Functional cookies
Functional cookies enable the website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalized features. These may include remembering your username, preferred language, region (e.g., Poland in this case), and adjustments to text size or other customizable interface elements. Blocking these cookies may result in reduced service efficiency, and your settings may need to be reconfigured with each visit.
Advertising and tracking cookies
When used, these cookies deliver marketing content that is more relevant to your interests. They may be placed by our advertising partners through our site. Their aim is to build an interest profile based on your browsing activity, enabling the display of appropriate ads on other platforms. If you do not consent to these cookies, you will still see online advertisements, but they will not be personalized.
Cookie lifespan: session and persistent cookies
From a storage duration perspective, we use two types of cookies. Session cookies are temporary files that exist only in your device’s memory for the duration of your visit to the website. They are automatically and permanently deleted when you close your web browser window. They are typically used to handle login processes and data transfers within a single visit. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a pre-specified period, defined by the cookie’s own parameters, or until manually deleted. We use them to recognize you upon subsequent visits and remember your global preferences.
Third-party cookies
In addition to cookies generated directly by our domain, our service may host cookies from external service providers. We collaborate with reputable analytics solution providers, payment gateways, and security software vendors. These companies may place their own cookies to deliver services on our behalf. Although we carefully select our technical partners, their privacy policies and cookie management procedures fall under their own terms, which we strongly encourage you to review for full understanding of data flows.
Consent mechanisms and preference management
According to applicable laws in the Polish jurisdiction, using non-essential cookies requires your explicit and voluntary consent. Upon your first visit to our website, a dedicated management panel appears, allowing you to select which cookie categories may be stored. You have full rights to modify these settings at any time. This panel is accessible via the footer of our website. Revoking consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out based on consent before its revocation.
Configuration at the web browser level
In addition to our internal management mechanisms, each user can globally control cookies via their web browser settings. Most modern browsers (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge) allow you to block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, or automatically clear browsing data upon closing the window. However, completely disabling cookies may severely limit access to core website functions—including potentially preventing you from logging into your user panel correctly.
Policy update procedures
Web technologies, data protection laws, and the scope of our services continuously evolve. Consequently, we reserve the right to periodically update this document to reflect the current factual and legal situation. Any significant modifications will be announced clearly on our homepage, and for logged-in users, via an email notification sent to the address provided. We encourage you to review this section regularly.
