1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy (“Policy”) explains what types of cookies LeadFilter™ uses, what data they collect, and how you can manage your settings.

This Policy applies to the use of the website leadfilter.ca, its subdomains, the Partner Dashboard, and all web interfaces provided by VIGO ONLINE GROUP (“Company,” “we,” “us”). By using the Service, you agree to the use of cookies in accordance with this Policy.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website saves on your device (computer, phone, tablet) to ensure the correct operation of the site, improve user experience, analyze traffic, and ensure security.

Cookies do not give us direct access to your device or files and are not used to run programs.

3. What Cookies We Use

We categorize cookies into four types based on their function:

3.1. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are technically essential for the Service to function securely and correctly.

• Purpose: Authorization into the LeadFilter account, session security (CSRF protection), correct page loading, and Payment Fraud Prevention (via Stripe).
• Opt-out: These cookies cannot be disabled, as the platform (and our ability to process payments as the Merchant of Record) will not function without them.

3.2. Performance & Analytics Cookies

Used for statistics and improving site performance.

• Tools: We may use Google Analytics, Stripe Analytics, Cloudflare Analytics, and internal LeadFilter™ metrics.
• Data: We collect anonymous or pseudonymized statistics: pages visited, time on site, user behavior, and technical device parameters.
• Privacy: These cookies do not contain personal data that allows for the direct identification of a user outside of the platform context.

3.3. Functionality Cookies

Used to enhance your experience.

• Purpose: Saving your language preferences, remembering interface settings, and simplifying site login (e.g., “Remember Me”).
• Impact: Without these cookies, some convenient functions may not work correctly.

3.4. Advertising & Marketing Cookies

Used only with the user’s explicit consent (where required by GDPR/CCPA).

• Purpose: Tracking the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns or the LeadFilter™ referral system.
• Note: We do not sell your data to third-party data brokers.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by trusted third-party services that provide critical infrastructure to VIGO ONLINE GROUP:

• Stripe: Essential for processing payments and detecting fraud (Radar).
• Cloudflare: Essential for site security and DDoS protection.
• Google Analytics: Used for aggregate site traffic analysis.

These third-party providers have their own obligations under GDPR, CCPA, and PIPEDA.

5. How We Obtain Consent

5.1. EU and EEA (GDPR):

We operate on an “Opt-In” basis. You will see a cookie banner upon your first visit. Analytics and Marketing cookies are blocked until you click “Accept.”

5.2. Canada (PIPEDA):

We use a model of implied consent for non-sensitive cookies, combined with a clear notification banner. You may opt-out via settings.

5.3. USA (CCPA/CPRA):

We provide a “Do Not Sell/Share My Personal Information” option, which disables tracking cookies used for cross-context behavioral advertising.

6. How to Manage and Disable Cookies

You can control cookies in several ways:

• Cookie Banner: Use the settings link in the footer of leadfilter.ca to reopen the consent manager.
• Browser Settings: You can block or delete cookies via your browser settings (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge).
• Consequences: Please note that disabling Strictly Necessary cookies will render the LeadFilter Platform unusable (e.g., you will not be able to log in or receive Payouts).

7. Retention Period

• Session Cookies: Deleted automatically when you close your browser.
• Persistent Cookies: Stored for a fixed period (usually 30–365 days) to remember you for future visits.
• Security Cookies: May be stored longer if required by banking regulations or security protocols to prevent fraud.
