Cookie Policy

Leav Inc. ("the Company," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on getleav.com and the Leav checkout platform. This Cookie Policy supplements our Privacy Policy and explains what cookies we use, why, and how you can control them. Canada's PIPEDA framework does not require prior opt-in consent for all cookies, but we believe you should understand what is happening and have meaningful choices.

1. About This Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how the Company uses cookies and similar technologies on getleav.com. It applies to visitors to our website and to merchants and shoppers using the Leav platform. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

2. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow us to recognise your device across pages, store preferences between visits, and measure how the site is used. We also use related technologies, including local storage and session storage, for similar purposes within the Leav checkout flow.

4. Notice and Choice

Under Canada's PIPEDA framework, our notice-only banner informs you of cookie use on your first visit. By continuing to use the Service, you consent to our use of cookies as described above. You can opt out of analytics cookies at any time through our cookie banner (accessible via the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer) or by configuring your browser. Opting out of analytics cookies does not affect strictly necessary cookies, which are required for the Service to function.

5. Global Privacy Control

Leav honours the Global Privacy Control ("GPC") signal. If your browser transmits a GPC signal indicating you prefer not to be tracked, we will not initialise analytics cookies, regardless of any prior cookie banner dismissal. This applies to all visitors to getleav.com.

6. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by third parties operating as our service providers. For example, Stripe may set cookies in the context of the payment flow; Stripe's own privacy and cookie practices govern those cookies. We have data-processing agreements with our providers that limit their use of any information collected through those cookies.

7. Managing Cookies

• Use the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer to re-open our notice banner and opt out of analytics.
• Your browser settings let you block or delete cookies at any time. Instructions for common browsers are at aboutcookies.org. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent the Leav checkout from functioning.
