Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

At Elinluma, I respect your privacy and aim to provide clear information about the technologies used on my website. This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies may be used when you browse products, use the shopping cart, complete checkout, or interact with other website features.

These technologies may support essential website functions, remember preferences, measure website performance, and, where enabled, help evaluate advertising activities.

This policy should be read together with my Privacy Policy, which explains how personal information is collected, used, disclosed, retained, and protected.

2. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by a website or a service operating through that website. They may allow a website to recognize a browser, maintain a session, remember selected settings, or associate certain activities with a browser over time.

Some cookies are temporary and generally expire when you close your browser. Others are persistent and remain on your device until they expire or are deleted.

Similar technologies may include pixels, tags, scripts, software development kits, and local storage. Depending on their configuration, these technologies may collect information about your device, browser, website interactions, or responses to advertising.

Some information collected through these technologies may qualify as personal information under applicable privacy requirements, particularly when it can be linked to a particular individual, device, or browser.

3. Categories of Cookies Used on the Website

The cookies and similar technologies used on the website depend on the Shopify configuration, enabled applications, and third-party services in use.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies support functions required to operate the website or provide a service you request. They may help maintain shopping cart contents, support checkout, manage sessions, protect website security, and prevent misuse.

Where permitted by applicable law, these technologies may be used without consent when they are strictly necessary for the service requested or otherwise qualify for an applicable exemption.

They are not used for optional advertising or analytics purposes merely because they are necessary for another website function.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies may remember selected settings or preferences and support additional website features.

Where these cookies are not strictly necessary, they will be used in accordance with applicable consent requirements. If you decline or disable them, certain convenience features may not work as expected.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

If analytics services are enabled, cookies and similar technologies may help measure website traffic, understand browsing patterns, evaluate feature performance, and identify technical problems.

Depending on the service, information may include pages viewed, navigation events, referral information, browser characteristics, device identifiers, IP addresses, and approximate location derived from technical information.

Nonessential analytics technologies will be activated only after the required consent has been obtained where applicable law requires prior consent.

Advertising and Marketing Cookies

If advertising or marketing technologies are enabled, they may help measure advertising performance, understand campaign effectiveness, attribute purchases to advertising, or support relevant advertising.

Depending on the provider and configuration, these technologies may process browser identifiers, cookie IDs, advertising IDs, IP addresses, and website interaction events.

Some advertising-related disclosures may qualify as a sale or sharing of personal information under certain U.S. state privacy laws, even if no money is exchanged. Where applicable, I will provide the required notice and opt-out mechanisms.

Nonessential advertising technologies will not be activated before the consent required by applicable law has been obtained.

4. First-Party and Third-Party Technologies

First-Party Technologies

First-party cookies and similar technologies are associated with the website you are visiting. They may support shopping sessions, checkout, website security, and other functions provided directly through the online store.

Third-Party Technologies

Third-party technologies may be supplied by external service providers integrated into the website.

Depending on the services actually enabled, these providers may include:

  • E-commerce platform and hosting providers that support website operation, shopping carts, and checkout.

  • Payment service providers that support transaction processing and related security functions.

  • Analytics providers that measure website usage and performance.

  • Advertising and marketing providers that measure campaigns or support advertising activities.

  • Security and fraud-prevention providers that help identify suspicious activity and protect website operations.

Not every provider or technology listed in these categories is necessarily used on every visit. The actual providers depend on the website configuration and the services enabled at the time.

Third-party providers may process information under their own privacy notices and applicable contractual arrangements. For further information about personal information and recipients, please review my Privacy Policy.

5. How Cookie Information Is Used

Cookies and similar technologies may be used for the following purposes:

  • Maintaining essential website functions and shopping cart sessions.

  • Supporting checkout, website security, and fraud prevention.

  • Remembering preferences where applicable.

  • Measuring website performance and identifying technical errors.

  • Understanding general browsing activity and improving website usability.

  • Measuring marketing performance and advertising attribution where enabled.

  • Supporting advertising-related activities where permitted and appropriately authorized.

I aim to limit the use of these technologies to the purposes for which they are deployed and to respect applicable consent and privacy requirements.

6. Consent and Cookie Preferences

Where applicable law requires consent before storing or accessing information on your device, I will seek the required consent before activating the relevant nonessential cookies or similar technologies.

You may be able to accept, reject, or customize optional cookies through the cookie preference tool available on the website. Where provided, you can revisit that tool to change or withdraw your preferences.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal. It also does not automatically delete information already collected by third-party providers; separate deletion or privacy requests may be necessary where applicable.

Strictly necessary technologies may continue to operate where they are required to provide a service you request or qualify for an applicable legal exemption.

You may also manage cookies through your browser settings. Blocking or deleting cookies may affect shopping cart functionality, saved preferences, checkout, or other website features.

Cookie preferences may need to be configured separately for different browsers and devices.

7. U.S. Privacy Choices

Depending on your state of residence and the applicable privacy requirements, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain a portable copy of certain personal information.

You may also have the right to opt out of certain sales of personal information, sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising, targeted advertising, or profiling activities where the relevant law provides that right.

I do not sell personal information for monetary payment. However, certain advertising-related disclosures may qualify as a sale or sharing under applicable state privacy laws, depending on the technologies and arrangements in use.

Where required and supported by applicable law, I will provide an appropriate opt-out mechanism and process recognized universal opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control (GPC), for the relevant activities.

You may contact me at team@elinluma.com to submit a privacy request or ask questions about available choices.

8. International Processing and Data Transfers

The website operates from the United States and uses the Shopify e-commerce platform. Depending on the services enabled, information collected through cookies and similar technologies may be processed in the United States or other countries where the platform, its affiliates, or relevant service providers operate.

Potential processing locations within the Shopify service chain may include the United States, Canada, Ireland, Singapore, and other countries identified in the platform's current subprocessor documentation. These are potential destinations, not a representation that every visitor's cookie information is transferred to every listed country.

Analytics, advertising, payment, or other integrated service providers may have their own processing locations. The actual destinations depend on the providers and configurations in use.

Where the GDPR or other applicable data protection requirements govern an international transfer, the relevant transfer must rely on an applicable legal mechanism where required. Depending on the destination and circumstances, this may include an adequacy decision, Standard Contractual Clauses, or another permitted safeguard or exception.

For further information about personal information transfers and applicable safeguards, please review my Privacy Policy or contact team@elinluma.com.

9. Retention of Cookie Information

The period for which cookies remain on your device depends on their type, purpose, and configuration.

Session cookies generally expire when the browser session ends. Persistent cookies may remain until their stated expiration date or until you delete them.

Information collected by third-party services may be retained under the relevant provider's retention practices and contractual arrangements. These periods may differ from the lifetime of a cookie stored on your device.

Where applicable, you can delete stored cookies through your browser settings or change your preferences through the available cookie settings tool. Deleting a cookie does not necessarily delete information already held by a service provider.

10. Security and Privacy

I take reasonable steps to support the appropriate handling of information collected through the website. However, the security and processing of information may also depend on the services and technologies provided by external providers.

I do not treat all cookie information as anonymous, because some identifiers or combinations of information may be associated with a particular browser, device, or individual.

For more details about the collection, use, disclosure, and protection of personal information, please review the Privacy Policy published on this website.

11. Changes to This Cookie Policy

I may update this Cookie Policy when website functionality, enabled technologies, service providers, or applicable requirements change.

The revised version will be published on this page. Where a change requires notice or consent, I will provide the appropriate notice or seek consent as required before carrying out the relevant processing.

Please review this policy periodically to remain informed about the use of cookies and similar technologies on the Elinluma website.
