Cookie Policy
Effective date: 23 September 2026 · Last updated: 23 September 2026
Lead Store Network is operated by The Lead Empire L.L.C-FZ, a company incorporated in the Meydan Free Zone, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, with its registered office at Meydan Grandstand, 6th floor, Meydan Road, Dubai, United Arab Emirates ("Lead Store Network", "we", "us", "our"). You can contact us at info@shopgadgetworld.com or +39 3267382912. This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on shopgadgetworld.com. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy. By using our website and accepting non-essential cookies through our cookie banner, you consent to their use as described below; you can change your choices at any time.
This document is organised in two parts. Part 1 sets out the terms that apply to our cash-on-delivery (COD) and other sales to customers located in the European Union / European Economic Area ("EU/EEA"), which is our primary market (currently Spain, Portugal, Italy, Slovakia, Slovenia, Bulgaria, Romania, Greece, Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Germany, Lithuania, Latvia). Part 2 sets out how we, as a company established in the United Arab Emirates (Dubai), comply with UAE law, and the terms that apply to customers located outside the EU/EEA. Where both parts could apply to you, the more specific and more protective provisions of Part 1 prevail for EU/EEA consumers; nothing in Part 2 reduces the rights granted to you in Part 1.
Part 1 — European Union / EEA visitors
1.1 What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device, remember your preferences, and understand how you use the site. "Similar technologies" include pixels, tags, local storage and software development kits (SDKs) that perform comparable functions.
1.2 Why we use cookies
We use cookies to make our website work, to keep it secure, to remember your settings, to understand how visitors use the site, and to deliver and measure advertising, including through Google Ads, Google Analytics and the Meta Pixel. Some cookies are essential; others are used only with your consent.
1.3 Your consent
When you first visit our site, our cookie banner (consent-management tool) lets you accept or reject non-essential cookies, or set your preferences by category, before any non-essential cookie is set — in line with the GDPR and Google's EU User Consent Policy. Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent because the site cannot function without them. We keep a record of your consent choices and you can withdraw or change your consent at any time via the "Cookie settings" link on our website or by clearing cookies in your browser.
1.4 Categories of cookies we use
Strictly necessary cookies
Required for the website to function — for example, to manage your shopping basket, secure the site, and remember items during checkout. These are always active.
Functional / preference cookies
Remember choices you make, such as language or region, to give you a more personalised experience. Set only with your consent where required.
Analytics / performance cookies
Help us understand how visitors use the site (for example, which pages are visited and how long people stay), so we can improve it. Set only with your consent.
Marketing / advertising cookies
Used to deliver advertising relevant to you and to measure the effectiveness of our campaigns, including on platforms such as Google and Meta. Set only with your consent.
1.5 Cookies we use
The table below lists the main cookies and technologies we use. This is representative; the exact set may vary and should be reconciled with a live cookie scan of the website:
| Provider / cookie | Purpose | Category | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Site platform / e-commerce (e.g. session, cart cookies) | Core site and checkout functionality, basket, security | Strictly necessary | Session to 12 months |
| Consent tool (e.g. cookie banner cookie) | Stores your cookie-consent choices | Strictly necessary | 6–12 months |
| Google Analytics (_ga, _gid, _gat) | Anonymous usage statistics and performance | Analytics | Session to 24 months |
| Google Ads / gtag / conversion (e.g. _gcl_au) | Ad measurement, conversion tracking, remarketing | Marketing | Up to 90 days |
| Meta Pixel (_fbp) | Ad delivery and conversion measurement on Meta platforms | Marketing | Up to 90 days |
| Preference cookies (language/region) | Remember your display preferences | Functional | Up to 12 months |
1.6 Third-party cookies and Google's role
Some cookies are set by third parties, such as Google and Meta, when their services are embedded in our site (for example analytics and advertising tags). These providers act as independent controllers of the data they collect and process it in accordance with their own privacy policies; you can find out more about how Google uses data from sites that use its services at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. These providers may transfer data outside the EU/EEA under appropriate safeguards. We recommend reviewing the privacy and cookie policies of these providers.
1.7 How to manage cookies
- On our site — use the cookie banner or the "Cookie settings" link to accept, reject or adjust non-essential cookies at any time.
- In your browser — most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the site from working.
- Advertising choices — you can manage ad personalisation through your Google (adssettings.google.com) and Meta account settings and through industry opt-out tools such as youronlinechoices.eu.
1.8 Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" signal. Because there is no common industry standard for how to respond to it, our site does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals. You can still control cookies as described above.
Part 2 — United Arab Emirates (Dubai) compliance and other visitors
The Lead Empire L.L.C-FZ is established in the Meydan Free Zone, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The UAE does not have a dedicated cookie law equivalent to the EU ePrivacy rules; however, to the extent that cookies or similar technologies collect information that identifies you or from which you are identifiable, that information is "personal data" for the purposes of Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data ("UAE PDPL"), and we handle it in accordance with the principles described in Part 2 of our Privacy Policy, including obtaining your consent for non-essential cookies.
If you are located outside the EU/EEA, we still operate the same cookie banner and categories described in Part 1 as a matter of best practice, and you can manage your preferences and exercise your rights in the same way described above and in our Privacy Policy.
Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in the technologies we use or in the law. The "Last updated" date shows when it was last revised.
