This Cookies Policy explains how ideluma.com uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use the Website. It should be read together with the Privacy Policy.

A cookie is a small data file placed on or read from a browser or device. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels, tags, scripts, software development kits, device identifiers and comparable tools. In this Policy, “cookies” includes these technologies where the context permits.

1. Why we use cookies

We use cookies to operate and secure the Website, remember choices, support purchases and service delivery, understand how the Website is used, diagnose technical problems and, where enabled and legally permitted, measure or support marketing.

2. Categories of cookies

Strictly necessary

Purpose: Required for core functions such as security, fraud prevention, network management, load balancing, form submission, consent choices, payment flow, session continuity and other functions necessary to provide a service you request.
Control: Usually cannot be disabled through the Website. They may be blocked in your browser, but parts of the Website may stop working.

Preferences and functionality

Purpose: Remember settings such as language, interface preferences, previously entered non-sensitive choices and other features that improve convenience.
Control: Used with consent where required. Disabling them may cause settings to reset or features to behave differently.

Analytics and performance

Purpose: Help measure visits, traffic sources, feature usage, errors, conversion, performance and aggregate interaction patterns so the Website can be improved.
Control: Used only where permitted by applicable law and, where required, after consent.

Marketing and measurement

Purpose: Where enabled, may measure campaigns, limit repetition, attribute visits or conversions and support interest-based or contextual marketing.
Control: Used only where enabled, legally permitted and subject to any required consent or opt-out rights.

Security and abuse prevention

Purpose: Detect suspicious activity, automated abuse, unauthorised access, malicious traffic and other security risks.
Control: May be treated as necessary where required to protect the Website and users.

3. First-party and third-party technologies

Some cookies are set directly by the Website. Others may be set or read by service providers that support hosting, security, payments, analytics, AI-assisted functionality, communications or other Website features.

Third-party providers may process information under their own privacy terms when acting as independent controllers. The Website does not control how a third party uses data outside the scope of services provided to the Operator.

4. Consent and cookie settings

Where applicable law requires consent before a non-essential cookie is stored or accessed, the Website will request that choice through a cookie banner, preference centre or comparable mechanism.

You may accept or reject categories of non-essential cookies and may change your choice later through the cookie settings made available on the Website. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before withdrawal.

Strictly necessary cookies are used without optional consent where permitted because the Website cannot provide the requested function reliably without them.

5. Browser and device controls

Most browsers allow you to view, delete or block cookies and to restrict third-party storage. You can also clear local storage or use private-browsing modes. Browser controls may affect only a particular browser or device.

Blocking all cookies may prevent forms, payment flows, consent choices, preferences or other Website functions from operating correctly.

6. Cookie duration

Cookies may be session cookies, which expire when the browser session ends, or persistent cookies, which remain for a defined period or until deleted. The specific duration depends on the purpose, technical configuration and provider.

We aim not to retain cookie identifiers longer than reasonably necessary for the stated purpose, subject to security, fraud-prevention and legal requirements.

7. Analytics and aggregated data

Analytics technologies may collect identifiers and usage information to produce statistics about Website performance and interaction. Where feasible and appropriate, settings may be used to reduce identifiability, limit retention or aggregate reporting.

Analytics data may be combined with information collected across pages or sessions where permitted by law and consistent with your choices.

8. Marketing, sale or sharing concepts

Where advertising or cross-context behavioural measurement is enabled, some disclosures of identifiers to advertising or measurement providers may be treated as a “sale”, “sharing” or targeted advertising under certain privacy laws even where no money is exchanged.

Where those laws apply, available opt-out mechanisms and recognised browser-based opt-out signals will be honoured as required.

9. Changes to cookies

The exact cookies and providers used by the Website may change as features, infrastructure and service providers change. The Website’s active consent interface, browser storage information and this Policy should be read together to understand current use.

Material changes to the purposes for which non-essential cookies are used will be reflected in an updated policy or consent choice where required.
