Cookies are small data files that your browser sets on your computer or device. A cookie itself does not contain or collect information. However, when it is read by a server via a web browser it can help a website deliver a more user-friendly service – for example, remembering previous purchases or account details.
Both we and our third-party tracking partners use browser storage, app storage, cookies, pixels, beacons, scripts and tags to operate our websites and apps, and provided you have given consent, to analyze your use and market to you. We may receive reports on these from our third-party tracking partners on an individual and aggregate basis and those partners may combine that information with other information they have collected from you.

List of our cookies
See our cookie declaration listing our different types of cookies– including the third parties we share your cookie information with here.
Please be aware that some cookies are set by third party media and advertising partners for our joint or their independent use and they may combine data collected from your visit to LEGO.com with information they have collected from you elsewhere. Please read their privacy policies on how your information is processed and what rights you have.
What about your privacy?
Some of the cookies set on LEGO.com will result in processing of your personal information.
In regard to “strictly necessary” cookies processing personal information LEGO System A/S base this processing on either:
- our legitimate interest in preventing fraudulent behaviour when using our website and it’s services;
- our legitimate interest in allowing you to interact with our customer service via chat functionality and to remain logged in with your LEGO® VIP or LEGO® Account;
- our obligation to secure a safe use and operation of the website and the services offered on the website (including measures to secure a safe use for kids of our website);
In regard to “analytical” and/ or “marketing” cookies processing personal information, LEGO System A/S base its processing on consent, unless otherwise specifically appears from our privacy policy. An example of where subsequent processing of cookie information could be based on other than consent, is where cookies form part of the tailored marketing messages consent you may have given as part of your LEGO® VIP membership or when signing up to receiving marketing messages from the LEGO Group.
For cookie where a third party is joint-controller or independent controller please refer to the third party’s privacy information linked to below, for more information of the legal basis of their processing of personal information as controllers.

What if I do not want cookies:
Necessary cookies are essential for the website and you cannot opt out of them, but you can delete necessary cookies after use – see how below.
For all other cookies, you can always adjust your settings and revoke your consent.
How to get rid of your cookies:
The cookies are placed on your device. This means that we cannot delete them for you. You must do that yourself in the way prescribed by your specific device. If you are on a website operated by LEGO System A/S, you can also avoid cookies being placed by adjusting the browser settings in your device. If you are using an app published by LEGO System A/S, please note that cookies set in an app work in a different way and you will have to control this via your device directly. Real browser cookies are set to expire. Similar types of technologies like local storage on your device do not have expiration built-in but must be deleted by you. We have linked to instructions on how to adjust/delete cookies on some of the more common devices below.
