What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to site owners. Cookies can be "session cookies" (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them).
How We Use Cookies
Luminousjoints uses cookies in the following categories:
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be disabled. They do not store any personally identifiable information. They include cookies that remember your cookie consent preferences.
Analytics Cookies (opt-in)
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors interact with our Site - which pages are most popular, how long users stay, and what content is most useful. This helps us improve the Site. Google Analytics cookies are only activated after you provide consent via our cookie banner.
Under Google's Consent Mode v2, we implement the following signals: analytics_storage (controls whether GA4 can store analytics cookies), ad_storage, ad_user_data, and ad_personalization. All of these are set to "denied" by default until you explicitly consent. This means Google Analytics operates in a cookieless, modelled mode until consent is given.
Advertising Cookies (opt-in)
We use Google Ads to measure the effectiveness of our affiliate marketing. Google Ads may set cookies to track conversions and show relevant advertisements on other websites. Advertising cookies - including ad_storage, ad_user_data (data about users for advertising purposes), and ad_personalization (personalised advertising) - are only activated with your explicit consent.
