Cookies Policy

This policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can control your preferences.

Last updated: January 2024

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit. They serve various purposes, from remembering your preferences to helping us understand how people use our website. Cookies are widely used across the internet and are essential for many website features to work properly.

Cookies can be "session" cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or "persistent" cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.

How We Use Cookies

Lunar-Burst uses cookies for several purposes:

  • To ensure our website functions correctly
  • To remember your preferences, such as cookie consent choices
  • To understand how visitors navigate and use our website
  • To improve our website based on usage patterns

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have control over which cookies you accept. There are several ways to manage your preferences:

Our Cookie Settings

When you first visit our website, you'll see a cookie banner that allows you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customise your preferences. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the button below:

Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:

  • View the cookies stored on your device
  • Delete individual or all cookies
  • Block cookies from specific or all websites
  • Set preferences for how cookies are handled

The process varies by browser. Consult your browser's help documentation for specific instructions.

Opting Out of Analytics

If you wish to opt out of Google Analytics specifically, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, which prevents your data from being used by Google Analytics across all websites.

Impact of Disabling Cookies

If you choose to disable cookies, please be aware:

  • Essential cookies cannot be disabled as they are necessary for the website to function
  • Disabling analytics cookies means we cannot understand how our website is used, which may affect our ability to improve it
  • Disabling marketing cookies means you may see less relevant advertisements, though you will still see the same number of ads
  • Some features may not work as intended if cookies are blocked entirely

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our website are placed by third parties. These include analytics providers and, if you consent, advertising networks. These third parties have their own privacy policies governing how they use the data they collect. We encourage you to review their policies:

  • Google Analytics: Processes analytics data to help us understand website usage
  • Meta (Facebook): If enabled, may collect data for advertising purposes

We do not control these third-party cookies and are not responsible for their content or privacy practices.

Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as:

  • Local Storage: Similar to cookies but can store larger amounts of data. Used for storing preferences that don't need to be sent to the server.
  • Session Storage: Similar to local storage but cleared when the browser session ends.

These technologies are governed by the same consent preferences as cookies.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will post any changes on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
