1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the website operator. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies we use on the LexIQ Platform, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
This Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect and use your personal data more broadly.
2. Cookies We Use

3. Your Choices
When you first visit the Platform, you will see a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Preferences" link in the footer of any page.
Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled because they are required for the Platform to function (e.g., keeping you signed in). Declining non-essential cookies will not affect the core functionality of the Platform, but some analytics features may be limited.
3.1 Browser-Level Controls
You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. However, blocking all cookies may prevent the Platform from functioning correctly. For guidance on managing cookies in your browser:
4. Third-Party Cookies
We use Stripe for payment processing. When you interact with the payment pages, Stripe may set its own cookies to facilitate secure payment processing and fraud prevention. These cookies are governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy.
5. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our use of cookies or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the Policy was last revised.
