Cookie Policy

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They let a site remember information about your visit — like whether you're logged in, or which cookie choices you've made — the next time you load a page.

2. Managing your choices

When you first visit Lustryx, a banner lets you accept all cookies, reject everything but the strictly necessary ones, or choose exactly which optional categories to allow. You can change your mind at any time using the "Cookie Preferences" link in the footer of every page, or the button below.

3. Strictly necessary cookies (always on)

These cookies are essential for Lustryx to work and can't be switched off — they don't require consent under UK PECR because the site can't function without them.

• PHP session cookie — keeps you logged in and remembers your session (e.g. items mid-checkout) as you move between pages. Duration: up to 8 hours, or until you log out.
• cookie_consent_prefs — remembers your cookie preferences so we don't ask again on every visit. Duration: 180 days.

4. Optional cookies (only with your consent)

Our cookie banner offers two optional categories: Performance Analytics (to help us understand how Lustryx is used) and Targeted Marketing (to personalise marketing). As of the date at the top of this page, no third-party analytics or advertising cookies are actually active on Lustryx — these categories exist so that, if we do turn on a tool like this in future (for example Google Analytics or a remarketing pixel), it will only run for visitors who've already opted in, never before consent. We'll update this page with the specific cookies involved if and when that happens.

5. Cookies set by other services

A few pages on Lustryx briefly interact with third-party services that may set their own cookies while that page is open:

• Google reCAPTCHA — registration pages. Assesses whether a form submission is automated. Governed by Google's own privacy policy.
• Stripe — checkout, card verification, and seller payout onboarding. Processes payments and (for onboarding) identity checks. Governed by Stripe's own privacy policy.
• Google / Facebook sign-in — only if you choose to register or log in that way. Handles the sign-in itself. Governed by each provider's own privacy policy.

These aren't cookies we set ourselves, so they aren't controlled by the cookie banner above — they're a necessary part of using the specific feature (completing a card payment, proving you're not a bot, or choosing to sign in via a third party).
