LEX Cookie Policy

This privacy policy is intended to inform users of the webpage www.lex.is (also referred to as „you“) about LEX‘s use of cookies in accordance with the Telecommunications Act No. 70/2022.

What are cookies?

Cookies allow websites to recognize users‘ computers and smart devices. A cookie is a type of digital signal that remembers information about your visits on the web. Cookies are small text files that your web browser saves on your computer if configured to accept cookies. Cookies enable the website to remember certain user preferences in order to improve user experience and report site usage statistics.

A distinction is made between session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies allow a website to connect to a user’s actions while the user is browsing the website. Session cookies are generally automatically deleted when the user leaves the website and are therefore not saved for a longer period. Persistent cookies are stored on the user’s computer, thus remembering the user’s choices or actions on the website. LEX uses both session cookies as well as persistent cookies.

First party cookies

These cookies are created on the website you visit (i.e. first-party cookies). Some of these cookies are necessary for the full functionality of the websites and for you to be able to use everything available on the sites. Since such cookies are necessary, they cannot be rejected without impairing the site’s functionality.

Third party cookies

Web cookies that are created on pages other than the page you are visiting (e. third-party cookies). Third-party cookies allow parties to recognize your device again, both when you visit the site and when you visit other sites.
