# Cookie policy

## Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Layer Flow Gateway FZCO, Layer Flow Gateway Ltd, and Layer Flow Gateway, Inc. (collectively, “LFG”, “the Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) use cookies, SDKs, and similar technologies to operate, secure, and improve our website and mobile applications (the “Services”).

In alignment with our Terms of Service, availability of specific LFG Services, entity contracting paths, and features varies by region as set forth in our [Global Availability Statement](https://help.getlfg.app/p/global-availability-statement). Our Services are strictly **not made available** to residents, citizens, or entities within prohibited jurisdictions listed in our Global Availability Statement.

We use only the minimum necessary cookies to make our Services function, plus optional analytics or functional cookies where you explicitly choose to enable them. This Policy should be read directly in conjunction with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we protect personal data across our operational jurisdictions under applicable laws, including UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 (PDPL), the UK Data Protection Act 2018 / UK GDPR, and applicable US state privacy legislation.

## 1. What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website or use an app. Software Development Kits (SDKs) provide similar functions in mobile applications. They help remember your preferences, maintain secure user sessions, and analyse how our SaaS tools are used.

## 2. Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies and SDKs strictly to:

* Operate and secure the website and app infrastructure;
* Maintain login states and session validation;
* Enforce geographic restrictions (geo-fencing) and prevent anti-circumvention;
* Detect fraud and ensure overall platform security;
* Preserve user dashboard preferences and interface layout metrics; and
* Monitor application crashes or service degradation.

## 3. Categories of Cookies

We classify cookies and SDKs into the following functional groupings:

* **Strictly Necessary** – Required for the core Services to function (e.g., authentication tokens, security layers, load balancing, user-session identifiers). These do not require user consent and cannot be disabled without breaking the interface.
* **Functional / Preference** – Remember settings such as interface language, visual layout, or selected currency parameters. We will request your choice inside the application interface.
* **Analytics / Performance** – Track platform health, record crash data, and identify navigation friction points. These assist us in maintaining platform stability and optimizing software code.

## 4. Third-Party SDKs in Our App

Because our platform operates as a non-custodial interface, our software environment incorporates specific technical SDK dependencies:

* **Web3Auth SDK:** Utilized to facilitate non-custodial threshold cryptography (MPC) key generation directly on your local device.
* **Security & Performance Trackers:** Used to report system errors, balance API node server requests, and identify network DDoS vulnerabilities.

## 5. Managing Your Choices

You have full control over optional tracking data. You can manage or block cookies and SDK variables at any time by:

* Selecting your choices via our in-app privacy settings panel, or
* Adjusting your web browser or device permissions to block or purge historic cookies.

Please note that blocking essential or strictly necessary cookies will degrade the performance of the interface and prevent your secure session from validating.

## 6. Retention

Session cookies automatically expire the moment you close your web browser or shut down the application interface. Persistent cookies remain stored for a predefined duration (typically up to twelve (12) months) unless you manually purge them earlier through your device settings.

## 7. Third-Party Tools & Processing Boundaries

We only engage reputable infrastructure sub-processors under strict data-processing protocols requiring high data confidentiality and adequate safeguards. Technical tools receive pseudonymised or aggregated data records and process data strictly within secure global data centers in accordance with applicable cross-border data transfer rules under UAE, UK, and US privacy frameworks.

## 8. No Third-Party Advertising

LFG does not use third-party behavioral targeting, marketing cookies, or tracking pixels. Your online activity, connected wallet metrics, and metadata are never shared with or sold to third-party advertising brokers or commercial profiling networks.

## 9. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect shifts in our technology architecture, feature integrations, or regional compliance requirements. We will publish the revised policy with an updated effective date and, where the changes are material, alert you via an in-app notice.
