Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how Luminvara uses them on this website, and the choices you have around them.

1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognize your browser, remember certain information about your visit, and function properly across pages. Similar technologies — such as pixels, web beacons, and local storage — work in comparable ways and are covered by this policy as well.

2. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies for a few core reasons:

* Keeping the site functional — remembering items in your cart, your login session, and your language or currency preferences.
* Understanding how the site is used — gathering aggregated data on visits, popular pages, and site performance so we can improve the shopping experience.
* Personalizing your experience — showing you relevant products and content based on past browsing or purchase activity.
* Marketing and advertising — measuring the effectiveness of our campaigns and, where permitted, showing you relevant ads on our site or elsewhere.

3. Categories of Cookies We Use

* Essential Cookies: Required for the store to function — checkout, cart contents, and account login. These can't be switched off without breaking core site features.
* Performance & Analytics Cookies: Help us understand traffic patterns and usage so we can fix issues and improve the site.
* Functional Cookies: Remember your preferences, such as language or currency, so you don't have to reset them on every visit.
* Advertising Cookies: Used by us or our partners to deliver ads relevant to your interests and measure how well they perform.

4. Third-Party Cookies
Because our store runs on Shopify, some cookies are set by Shopify itself or by third-party services we use for analytics, payments, and marketing (such as payment processors or advertising platforms). These third parties may collect information about your activity on our site in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies.

5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have control over cookies in a few ways:

* Browser settings: Most browsers let you block or delete cookies, or alert you before one is placed. Refer to your browser's help section for instructions.
* Consent tools on our site: Where required by law — including for visitors in Finland and the wider EU/EEA — we display a cookie consent banner allowing you to accept or decline non-essential cookies before they're set.
* Opting out of ads: You may be able to opt out of certain third-party advertising cookies directly through the advertising platform's own settings.

Please note that blocking essential cookies may affect how well parts of our site function, including checkout.

6. Finland & EU Cookie Compliance
As a business based in Joensuu, Finland, we align our cookie practices with the standards that apply across the EU and EEA:

* ePrivacy Directive & GDPR: Non-essential cookies (analytics, functional, and advertising) are only set with your prior consent, as required under the EU's ePrivacy Directive and the General Data Protection Regulation.
* Clear Consent Choices: Our cookie banner lets you accept, decline, or customize which categories of cookies you allow, rather than defaulting you into acceptance.
* Withdrawing Consent: You can change or withdraw your cookie preferences at any time through the consent settings on our site.

7. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for legal and regulatory reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
