This Cookie Policy explains how Lokalise, Inc. (“Lokalise”, “we”, “us”or “our”) uses cookies and other similar technologies when you visit or interact with the Lokalise websites and other online properties that link to this Cookie Policy. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which provides further information about how we process Personal Data and how you can exercise your privacy rights.

1. What are Cookies?

When you interact with our Platform, we strive to make that experience easy and meaningful. When you visit our Website, it may store or retrieve information on your computer or mobile device, mostly in the form of cookies. Cookies are text files containing a small amount of information that web browsers place on a computer's hard drive. Data collected by cookies are sent back to the originating web server on each subsequent visit of our Website, or on other websites that recognize the specific cookie.

We use cookies for different purposes (see in detail below). Cookies help us with things like understanding how users and visitors use a website, remembering a user's device and login details, and storing website preferences. We may use other technologies that work in the same or similar way to cookies, for example, web beacons, pixels, ad tags and device identifiers.

2. What cookies does Lokalise use?

The cookies used on our Website can be distinguished in terms of their function and purpose as follows:

3. How long are cookies stored?

Some of the cookies used on the Website are session cookies, which are deleted as soon as you close your browser. Other cookies are persistent cookies, which are stored beyond the individual session. Unless otherwise indicated in our Cookie Settings tool, persistent cookies used on the Website are stored for a maximum of 2 years. Please refer to the cookie list available through our Cookie Settings tool for more details on the individual storage periods.

4. How does Lokalise deal with data collected through cookies?

Data that we collect from the cookies is processed in accordance with the provisions of this Cookie Policy and our Privacy Policy. For instance, this data may be accessed by our employees, subcontractors and certain affiliates. Some of our subcontractors and affiliates are located outside the country or region in which you are located, including outside the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom. Where applicable law requires safeguards for an international transfer of Personal Data, we rely on an appropriate transfer mechanism, which may include an adequacy decision (or, for UK transfers, transfers approved by regulations under Article 45A of the UK GDPR, applying the "not materially lower" data protection standard), the EU–US Data Privacy Framework where the recipient is certified, or contractual safeguards such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses or the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA). Please see below and in our Privacy Policy for details.

5. On what legal bases does Lokalise rely?

Cookies that are necessary for the operation and provision of our Website and its functions ("strictly necessary cookies") may be placed based on statutory legal grounds (in the EU/EEA, Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive 2002/58/EC and its national transpositions, e.g. in Germany Sec. 25 (2) No. 2 TDDDG; in the UK, Regulation 6 and Schedule A1, paragraph 4 of the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 ("PECR"), as amended by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025) and Personal Data collected through these cookies may be processed based on our legitimate interest (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). If you live in the EU, EEA, Switzerland or the UK, you have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to such processing of your Personal Data (cf. Art. 21 (1) GDPR). To do so, you can change your browser settings to block any or specific cookies or to alert you about these cookies in advance (see below for more details).

All other types of cookies ("functionality", "performance" and "targeting" cookies), including cookies of third-party services (see Section 7 for details), are only activated and Personal Data collected by these cookies are only processed if you have given your prior consent to the processing of your data by the respective service, except where a specific exemption applies under applicable law. Non-essential cookies are not placed on your device until you provide consent via our cookie banner, except where applicable law permits placement on a different basis (see below for UK-specific rules). The legal basis for the placing of "functionality", "performance" and "targeting" cookies is your consent (in the EU/EEA, Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive 2002/58/EC and its national transpositions, e.g. in Germany based on Sec. 25 (1) TDDDG; in the UK based on Regulation 6 and Schedule A1, paragraph 2 of PECR) as well as for the data processing in connection with these cookies (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). For UK users, certain functionality cookies used solely to adapt website appearance or preferences and certain performance cookies used solely to collect statistical information for the purpose of making improvements to our Website may be placed on the basis of an opt-out mechanism rather than prior consent, in accordance with paragraphs 5 and 6 of Schedule A1 to PECR (as inserted by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025), provided the applicable conditions are met. You can withdraw a granted consent for your respective device in the settings of the cookie banner at any time with future effect.

5A. Google EU User Consent Policy

Where we use Google advertising products and services (including Google Ads, Google Analytics, and Google Tag Manager) on our Website, we comply with Google's EU User Consent Policy. This policy applies to Users located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, and Switzerland.

We use Google Consent Mode to ensure that Google's tags and measurement tools adapt their behaviour based on the consent status you have indicated in our cookie banner. Depending on the applicable Google service and its configuration, where consent is not given, Google tags may either be prevented from loading or operate in a restricted manner without reading or writing advertising or analytics cookies. In the latter case, limited cookieless signals may be transmitted to Google for purposes such as basic measurement and modelling.

Depending on the relevant service and processing activity, these third parties may act as service providers or processors acting on our behalf, or as separate or joint controllers of certain Personal Data. Where they process Personal Data for their own purposes, their processing is governed by their respective privacy policies.

7. Details on the cookies and third-party services

Unless explicitly stated otherwise below, the use of cookies and the data processing related to the following services are based on your consent, which can be freely withdrawn with future effect (see Sections 5 and 6 above).

A. Google Analytics

This Website uses Google Analytics with your consent. These are services of Google LLC., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA and its affiliated companies ("Google"). Google Analytics uses cookies to track your interactions with the Website (e.g. access to the Website, views of subpages). Google Analytics does not log or store individual IP addresses; IP addresses are used temporarily during collection to provide IP-derived metadata (such as city-level geolocation) but are not made accessible in reports or exports.

Third-party data use by Google: Google will use this information on our behalf to analyze your usage of the Website and compile reports. In addition, Google also processes the transmitted data for its own purposes, including improving its products and services. We have no influence on this further data processing by Google. Details can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy and https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245.

For data transfers to the USA, we have agreed with Google on the standard data protection clauses of the EU Commission (Art. 46 (2) (c) GDPR). For transfers of UK users' data, we additionally rely on the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, as applicable.

B. Google Ads (including the remarketing function)

With your consent, this Website uses the remarketing function of Google Ads, an advertising service of Google. This allows us to display interest-based (also "personalized" or "targeted") advertising to Users of our Website within the Google advertising network. For this purpose, a cookie is stored on the User's device. The string of characters contained therein is used to recognize a User when he or she visits websites that are part of the Google advertising network. There, the User may be displayed advertising that relates to content previously accessed on websites that use Google Remarketing.

Please note that Google independently decides on the specific advertising displayed and may use data collected via Google Ads for its own purposes, including ad personalisation across its network. Google is an independent data controller in respect of such processing. For further information, see https://policies.google.com/privacy.

The remarketing functions via Google Ads are performed by Google across multiple devices. Google can therefore recognize your usage across different devices you use and link them across devices. If you do not want this link to your Google account, you can log out of your Google account before you visit our website. You can configure personalised ad settings here: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/2662922?hl=en#stop_goog_p13n.

We transfer your data based on standard data protection clauses of the EU Commission (Art. 46 (2) (c) GDPR) and, for UK users' data, the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, as applicable.

With your consent, further marketing tools (see below) are used on the Website which allow us to display interest-based advertisements for our Services via various advertising networks and to measure the success, reach and acceptance of our advertising. The marketing tools generally enable the respective tool providers to:

• track User behaviour on our Website (e.g. clicks on certain links and offers, visits to certain subpages), which can then be stored and analysed in usage profiles;

• display interest-based advertising to Users in the respective advertising network (e.g. on Facebook, LinkedIn, or Reddit), based on the evaluated User behaviour, including Remarketing;
