This Cookie Policy explains how The Lantern Society uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle your personal information more generally.

​

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device, remember your preferences, keep the site secure, and understand how the site is used. Similar technologies, such as pixels and local storage, work in comparable ways, and we refer to all of them as "cookies" in this policy.

​

How we use cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

• Essential cookies — these are necessary for the website to work. They enable core functions such as browsing pages, adding items to your basket, and completing a secure checkout. The site cannot function properly without them, so they do not require your consent.

• Functional cookies — these remember your choices and preferences, such as items in your basket or settings you have selected, to give you a smoother experience.

• Analytics cookies — these help us understand how visitors use our site, such as which pages are visited most, so we can improve it. They are only used with your consent.

• Marketing cookies — these may be used in the future to show you relevant advertising and to measure how our advertising performs. They are only used with your consent, and we are not using them at present. If we introduce them, we will do so through the consent options described below.

 

Managing your consent

When you first visit our site, you are shown a cookie banner that lets you accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your choices at any time by reopening the cookie settings on our site — usually through a link or icon labelled "Cookie Settings" or "Privacy Settings."

Essential cookies cannot be switched off, as the site relies on them to function. For all other categories, non-essential cookies are only placed on your device if you consent.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings, which let you block or delete cookies. Please note that if you block essential cookies, parts of the site may not work properly.

​

Cookies set by third parties

Some cookies are set by the services we use to run the site. Our website is hosted by Wix, which sets certain essential cookies needed for the site and checkout to function. If we introduce analytics or advertising tools in the future, those providers may also set cookies, and they will appear in your cookie settings for you to accept or reject.

​

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for legal reasons. When we do, we will post the revised version here and update the "Last updated" date.
