Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Leafly ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website or use our mobile application. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
Please read this Cookie Policy carefully. By continuing to browse or use our website or app, you agree to our use of cookies and similar technologies as described in this Cookie Policy.
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 and provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies allow websites to remember your preferences, device, and browsing activities.
"First-party cookies" are cookies set by the website you're visiting. "Third-party cookies" are cookies set by a domain other than the one you're visiting.
Types of Cookies We Use
We use the following types of cookies on our website and app:
- Essential Cookies: These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable basic functions like page navigation and access to secure areas of the website. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.
- Preference Cookies: These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personalized features.
- Analytics Cookies: These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. They help us improve the way our website works.
- Marketing Cookies: These cookies are used to track visitors across websites. The intention is to display ads that are relevant and engaging for the individual user.

Similar Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies on our website and app, including:
- Web Beacons: Small graphic images (also known as "pixel tags" or "clear GIFs") that may be included on our website, app, and email messages. Web beacons typically work in conjunction with cookies to identify our users and user behavior.
- Local Storage: We may use local storage technologies, like HTML5 localStorage and IndexedDB, that are similar to cookies but can store larger amounts of data. These technologies are used to improve your experience on our website and app.
Your Cookie Choices
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. However, if you limit the ability of websites to set cookies, you may worsen your overall user experience, since it will no longer be personalized to you.
You can manage your cookie preferences in the following ways:
- Browser Settings: You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Each browser is different, so check the "Help" menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences.
- Cookie Preference Tool: We provide a cookie preference tool on our website that allows you to accept or reject certain types of cookies.
- Third-Party Opt-Out Tools: You can opt out of third-party cookies used for advertising through the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) or the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA).
Do Not Track
Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. Currently, there is no standard for how online services should respond to "Do Not Track" signals, and we do not respond to such signals at this time.
Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our business practices. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. If we make significant changes to this Cookie Policy, we may notify you through a notice on our website or by email.
