Some services on this website necessitate the collection of personal information from you. Any information collected from you will be stored securely and never passed on or sold to any third party. We are required to disclose how the information collected from you is stored and used in order to comply with international as well as domestic laws and regulations, including but not limited to the following:

Use of cookies
We use cookies on our website. Cookies, among other things, help us improve your experience on our website and ensure that it performs as expected. Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information, which are downloaded to your computer or mobile device by websites that you visit. They can enhance your website experience, for example, by remembering your preference settings and tracking your usage so that it can be improved to meet your needs.
Websites must get your consent to send cookies to your computer or mobile device, unless the cookies are strictly necessary to provide services to you, as discussed in detail below. You can set your cookie preferences by clicking on the cookie manager icon on the bottom left corner of our website. Unless the cookie is one that is strictly necessary, you can withdraw your consent for the cookies at any time even if you have previously consented. The table below explains what cookies we use on our website, why we use them, and whether they are strictly necessary or another type of cookie (e.g., "functionality" or "performance" cookies/tags). We also state in the table whether a cookie is a "persistent" or "session" cookie. The difference is that:
- Persistent cookies remain on your device between browsing sessions. They are activated each time you visit the website that created that particular cookie. For example, where a "persistent cookie" is used on a website to remember your log-in details, you will not need to enter those details each time you visit that website.
- Session cookies allow website operators to link the actions of a user during a browser session. A browser session starts when you open the browser window and finishes when you close the browser window. Session cookies are created temporarily. Once you close the browser, all session cookies are deleted.
Some of the cookies listed below are those set by our website. However, we also place cookies which are not from LeVel's website (i.e., third party cookies).

Strictly necessary cookies are essential to enable you to receive a service on a website e.g., cookies to operate online shopping baskets or to comply with laws and regulations for safeguarding your information. We would not be able to operate our website without using the "strictly necessary" cookies listed below.
