Cookie, Tracking & SMS Compliance Policy

Effective Date: 2026-08-26 · Last Updated: 2026-08-26

Overview

LEE ELCI 2026 (“Campaign,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to transparency regarding how this website collects, uses, and stores information.

This Cookie, Tracking, and SMS Compliance Policy explains how cookies, pixels, analytics tools, and communication technologies, including SMS/MMS systems governed by the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and 10DLC standards, operate when you visit or interact with this website.

By using this website, you consent to the use of cookies and tracking technologies as described in this Policy, subject to any choices you make through your browser settings or our cookie settings tools where available.

1. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your computer or device when you visit a website. They are read by your browser and allow the site to recognize your device and remember information over time.

We and our service providers may also use related technologies such as pixels, web beacons, local storage, and software development kits (SDKs) to collect information about your interactions with this website, our emails, and our digital ads.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

Session vs. persistent cookies

Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a longer period or until you delete them. They help us recognize you when you return to our site.

First-party vs. third-party cookies

First-party cookies are set by this website’s domain and used directly by the Campaign. Third-party cookies are set by other domains (for example, analytics or advertising partners) to provide services or features on our site.

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set only in response to actions you take, such as filling out forms, setting preferences, or accessing secure areas.

Performance and analytics cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the site. We may use tools such as Google Analytics or similar services to collect aggregated information about site usage, page views, referral sources, and technical performance.

Functionality cookies

These cookies allow the site to remember your choices and provide enhanced features, such as remembering form entries, language preferences, or display settings.

Advertising, retargeting, and social media cookies

These cookies may be set by us or by our advertising and social media partners to help us reach people who may be interested in the Campaign and to measure our advertising performance. They may track your browsing across multiple websites and build an interest profile.

3. How Cookies and Tracking Relate to SMS/MMS (TCPA and 10DLC)

Although cookies primarily relate to web browsing, this website may also collect and store information connected to SMS/MMS communications sent via registered 10DLC routes and other compliant channels.

We comply with the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules, CTIA guidelines and carrier content standards, and 10DLC registration and vetting requirements.

If you provide your mobile phone number through our website forms, surveys, QR codes, or other digital tools, we may use cookies and tracking technologies to:

  • Record that you provided your number and affirmatively opted in to receive SMS/MMS messages from the Campaign, where applicable.
  • Store the date, time, and source of your consent for TCPA, carrier, and 10DLC compliance purposes.
  • Measure whether links in our text messages are opened or clicked, and whether visits originated from a text message.
  • Improve the timing, content, and relevance of our text message communications, consistent with your choices and applicable law.

Mobile information and non-sharing for marketing

We do not sell or share your telephone number or SMS opt-in and consent data with third parties for their own marketing or promotional purposes. We may share your phone number and SMS consent status only with service providers that help us send and manage text messages, such as messaging platforms, carriers, and compliance vendors, and only for purposes related to our messaging program.

4. Third-Party Tools and Integrations

This website may include forms, widgets, or embedded content that rely on third-party tools. These may include survey or form tools, email or SMS delivery services, security and anti-spam services (such as CAPTCHA), and embedded video players, social media posts, or QR-code tracking and analytics.

These third parties may set their own cookies or use their own tracking technologies according to their own privacy and cookie policies.

5. Regional Consent Models and Cookie Banner

European Union / UK and similar jurisdictions (opt-in)

Where laws like the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) apply, we seek your explicit consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device. You may see a banner or settings panel that allows you to accept or reject different categories of cookies.

United States and similar jurisdictions (notice and opt-out)

In jurisdictions that follow an opt-out model, such as under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA) and similar state laws, we provide clear notice about our use of cookies and tracking technologies and offer mechanisms to opt out of certain types of data “sale” or “sharing,” where required.

6. How You Can Control Cookies and Tracking

Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to delete existing cookies, block all cookies, block cookies from specific sites, receive alerts before cookies are stored, use tracking protection or “do not track” features, and use private or incognito browsing modes. Blocking or deleting cookies may affect the functionality of this and other websites.

Cookie banner or preference tools: Where available, you can use our cookie banner or settings center to accept or reject different categories of non-essential cookies.

Global Privacy Controls and “Do Not Track”: Your browser or device may support Global Privacy Control (GPC) or “Do Not Track” signals. Our response to these signals may vary depending on legal requirements and technical capabilities.

7. Relationship to Privacy and SMS Policies

This Cookie, Tracking, and SMS Compliance Policy works together with our Privacy Policy and any SMS Terms that may apply. Where there is any inconsistency between this Policy and the Privacy Policy regarding cookies or tracking, this Policy will govern the use of cookies and similar technologies; otherwise, the documents should be read together.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie, Tracking, and SMS Compliance Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page.
