1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to improve how they function, and to provide reporting information.

• First-party cookies are set by the website owner (in this case, LCreate Prints).

• Third-party cookies are set by other parties, such as analytics providers, social networks, or advertising platforms.

These third parties can recognize your device both when it visits our Website and when it visits certain other websites.

We may also use related technologies like pixels, tags, and local storage. In this Policy, we refer to all of these technologies collectively as “cookies”.

2. Why Do We Use Cookies?

We use cookies for several reasons:

• To make the Website function correctly (for example, keeping items in your cart).

• To remember your preferences and improve your experience.

• To understand how visitors use our Website and which pages are most popular.

• To help us measure and improve the effectiveness of our marketing and ads.

• To show you more relevant ads on other platforms (such as Facebook or Google) based on your interaction with our Website.

Some cookies are strictly necessary for the Website to operate, while others are optional and used for analytics, customization, or advertising.

6. Do Not Track (DNT) Signals

Some browsers include a “Do Not Track” (DNT) setting that sends a signal to websites that you do not want your activity tracked. There is currently no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to these signals.

At this time, LCreate Prints does not respond to DNT signals. You can still manage cookies and tracking technologies through your browser settings and other tools described above.

Information collected through cookies may be processed in and transferred to countries outside your country of residence, including the United States. These countries may have data protection laws that are different from those in your country.

Where we transfer personal information across borders, we take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place so that your data continues to be protected in line with this Policy and our Privacy Policy.
