COOKIE POLICY
This Cookie Policy ("Policy") explains how Noventra Tech LTD ("we", "us", or "the Company") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our platform at lootnex.com (the "Platform"). It describes what cookies are, which cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
This Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which sets out how we collect and process personal data more broadly. By continuing to use the Platform, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this Policy, subject to your right to manage preferences as set out in Section 5.
1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website operators about how their site is being used.
Cookies may be:
- Session cookies: Temporary files that exist only for the duration of your browser session and are deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies: Files that remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them manually.
- First-party cookies: Set directly by the Platform you are visiting.
- Third-party cookies: Set by a domain other than the Platform, typically by external service providers such as analytics or advertising platforms.
2. HOW WE USE COOKIES
We use cookies for the following purposes:
- To ensure the Platform functions correctly and securely.
- To remember your session and authentication status so you do not need to log in repeatedly.
- To store your preferences and settings across visits.
- To collect anonymised data about how visitors use the Platform, helping us identify areas for improvement.
- To comply with legal and security obligations.
We do not use cookies to serve targeted advertising or to track your activity across third-party websites.
3. CATEGORIES OF COOKIES WE USE
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the Platform to operate. They enable core functions such as session management, user authentication, and security controls. Without these cookies, the Platform cannot function as intended. These cookies do not require your consent and cannot be disabled through our cookie preferences centre.
3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies
We use Google Analytics to collect anonymised data about how visitors interact with the Platform. This helps us understand traffic patterns, identify technical issues, and improve the user experience. Google Analytics data is aggregated and does not identify individual users. These cookies are only placed with your consent.
3.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow the Platform to remember choices you have made — such as your language preference or display settings — and provide a more personalised experience. These cookies are only placed with your consent.
3.4 Marketing and Targeting Cookies
The Platform does not currently deploy marketing or targeting cookies. If this changes in the future, this Policy will be updated accordingly and your consent will be sought before any such cookies are placed.

5. MANAGING YOUR COOKIE PREFERENCES
You have the right to choose which non-essential cookies are placed on your device. You can manage your preferences in the following ways:
- Cookie Preferences Centre: Where available on the Platform, you can adjust your consent settings at any time by accessing our cookie preferences centre. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled through this tool.
- Browser Settings: Most browsers allow you to view, manage, block, or delete cookies through their settings menu. Please refer to your browser’s help documentation for instructions. Note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of the Platform and other websites you visit.
- Google Analytics Opt-Out: You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Withdrawing consent for non-essential cookies will not affect the lawfulness of any processing that took place before withdrawal. Strictly necessary cookies will continue to operate regardless of your preferences.
6. UK GDPR COMPLIANCE
Our use of cookies is governed by the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR). Where cookies involve the processing of personal data, we rely on the following legal bases:
- Legitimate Interests: For strictly necessary cookies required for the security and operation of the Platform.
- Consent: For all non-essential cookies, including analytics and functional cookies. Consent is obtained through our cookie preferences centre and may be withdrawn at any time.
Where Google Analytics processes data that may constitute personal data, it does so as a data processor acting on our instructions, under a data processing agreement consistent with UK GDPR requirements. Google Analytics is configured to anonymise IP addresses and does not receive full IP addresses from users of the Platform.
7. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS
Google Analytics is operated by Google LLC, which may process data outside the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area. Such transfers are conducted under appropriate safeguards, including Standard Contractual Clauses approved for use under UK data protection law. For further information, please refer to Google’s Privacy Policy at policies.google.com/privacy.
8. UPDATES TO THIS POLICY
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, applicable law, or our data practices. Any material changes will be communicated by posting the revised Policy on the Platform with an updated effective date.
We encourage you to review this Policy periodically. Your continued use of the Platform following any update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
