This Cookie Statement outlines the manner in which LEM International SA and LEM subsidiaries of LEM Holding SA (“LEM”), together with its partners, utilize cookies and similar technologies—including pixel tags, web beacons, clear GIFs, JavaScript, and local storage (“Cookies”)—in relation to websites (including SharePoint, mobile websites, and applications) owned and managed by LEM (the “LEM Sites”).
By accessing a LEM Site, users acknowledge and accept the terms of this Cookie Statement and provide consent for the use of Cookies by LEM as described herein.
Cookies may collect personally identifiable information or information that could become personally identifiable if combined with other data by LEM. In these cases, the LEM Privacy Statement also applies.
Cookies are small files, typically made up of letters and numbers, that are downloaded to a device such as a computer, tablet, or phone when a user visits a website. Cookies enable websites to identify users' devices and are used by website owners to help operate their websites more efficiently.
Cookies are utilized to facilitate an understanding of how the site or service is used, streamline navigation between pages, remember user preferences, and enhance the overall browsing experience. Additionally, cookies may be employed to ensure that marketing content and advertisements displayed online are relevant to users' interests, and to deliver communications aligned with these interests, provided users have opted in to receive such materials. LEM and its service providers use different types of Cookies on LEM Sites:
These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly.
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance.
These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
Cookies may be either “persistent” or “session”. A persistent Cookie will be stored by a web browser and will remain valid until its set expiry date, unless deleted by the user before the expiry date. LEM may use persistent Cookies for storing your preferences so that they are available for the next visit, keep tracking how often you visit LEM Sites, how your use the LEM Sites, and the effectiveness of advertising efforts; while a session cookie will expire at the end of the user session, when the web browser is closed.
You can find out more about the specific cookies used by LEM and third parties in the table at the end of this Cookie Statement.
The classification of Cookies as 'first' or 'third' party depends on the website that places the Cookie. First party Cookies are those established by the LEM Site that the user visits directly. Third party Cookies are set by a website or domain other than the LEM Site. For example, if a user visits a website and a different company places a Cookie through that site, it is considered a third-party Cookie.
If you do not want LEM to recognize your device, you can also delete Cookies from your browser, block all Cookies, or configure your browser to warn you before a Cookie is stored by adjusting your browser settings. If you do not accept the strictly necessary and functionality Cookies, the use of some services or parts of LEM Sites will not be available to you. Generally, Cookies allow LEM to determine who you are and thus provide you with better and more personalized services.
