The LXLE website uses LibreAnte to conduct its downloads. This is not a tracking device, but rather a way to monetize downloads, without inflicting cost on the user. LibreAnte is a smart solution, developed by https://wiki.ubuntu.com/lxle/firefoxthe LXLE team, to help balance out the problem of users who download FOSS without making donations nor contribution to the Linux community.
