Last updated: March 21, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how lnk24co Inc.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply information to website operators.
Cookies can be classified by their lifespan. "Session cookies" are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. "Persistent cookies" remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them. Cookies can also be classified by their origin: "first-party cookies" are set by the website you are visiting, while "third-party cookies" are set by a domain other than the one you are visiting.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies across the following categories to operate and improve our Services:
2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the operation of our Services. They enable core functionality such as user authentication, session management, and security protections. Without these cookies, the Services cannot function properly. These cookies cannot be disabled through our cookie consent mechanism.
2.2 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow us to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, personalized features. These include your preferred theme (light or dark mode), language settings, dashboard layout preferences, and other customization options. These cookies improve your experience but are not strictly necessary for the Services to operate.
2.3 Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our Services by collecting aggregated, anonymized usage data. We use this information to measure page views, identify popular features, track click patterns, and improve our Services. Analytics data is processed in aggregate and is not used to identify individual users.
2.4 Marketing Cookies
We do not use marketing or advertising cookies. lnk24co does not set any cookies for the purpose of tracking users across websites, delivering targeted advertisements, or building advertising profiles. We do not sell or share cookie data with advertising networks or data brokers.
