Cookie Policy
Last updated: 15 April 2025
You can update your cookie preference at any time using the button below.
Your preference has been saved.
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how Lumea uses them on this website, and what options you have to manage them. We aim to be straightforward about how we handle data, and cookies are a part of that.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website saves to your device — computer, tablet, or mobile phone — when you visit. They allow the site to remember information about your visit, such as your preferences or how long you spent on each page.
Cookies are widely used by websites to make them work more efficiently, and to provide basic reporting information to the site owner.
2. How We Use Cookies
Lumea uses cookies for three broad purposes:
- Necessary cookies — these are required for the website to function correctly. They cannot be disabled. An example is the cookie that stores your cookie consent preference.
- Analytics cookies — these help us understand how visitors use our website (for example, which pages are visited most often) so we can make improvements. This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
- Marketing cookies — where enabled, these allow us to understand which enquiries originate from advertising platforms (such as Google Ads or Facebook) so we can assess the effectiveness of our marketing. These are only active if we are running advertising campaigns at the time of your visit.
3. Cookies We Use
The table below lists the main cookies that may be set when you visit our website.
| Cookie Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| lumea_cookie_consent | Necessary | Stores your cookie consent preference so the banner does not appear on every visit. | 12 months |
| _ga | Analytics | Google Analytics identifier used to distinguish visitors. Data is anonymised. | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Analytics | Google Analytics session state cookie used to persist session information. | 2 years |
| _fbp | Marketing | Facebook Pixel identifier used to measure the effectiveness of advertising on Facebook and Instagram (if campaigns are running). | 3 months |
| _uetsid | Marketing | Microsoft (Bing) UET session cookie used for conversion tracking when advertising on Bing. | Session |
4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our website are set by third-party services we use, such as Google Analytics and advertising platforms. These third parties have their own privacy policies that govern how they use the data collected. We encourage you to review these policies:
- Google Analytics: policies.google.com/privacy
- Meta (Facebook): facebook.com/privacy/policy
- Microsoft Advertising: privacy.microsoft.com
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit our website, a banner at the bottom of the page gives you the option to accept or decline optional cookies. Your preference is saved in your browser's local storage and the banner will not reappear on subsequent visits.
You can change your preference at any time using the buttons at the top of this page.
You can also control cookies directly through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View and delete cookies that are already set.
- Block all cookies by default.
- Block cookies from specific websites.
- Set preferences separately for first-party and third-party cookies.
Please refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions. Note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of this and other websites.
6. LocalStorage
In addition to cookies, we use your browser's localStorage to store your cookie consent preference on this website. This is a client-side storage mechanism that works similarly to cookies but is not transmitted to our servers. You can clear localStorage through your browser settings.
7. Updates to This Policy
We may revise this Cookie Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the date at the top of this page. If the changes are material, we will make this visible on the website. Continued use of the website after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
