1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how Luminousttforcee ("we", "us", or "our") uses them on our website at luminousttforcee.world, and what choices you have regarding their use. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides additional information about how we process personal data collected through cookies and other means.
We are committed to transparency about our use of cookies and compliance with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and UK GDPR. When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie consent banner allowing you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customise your preferences through our Cookie Settings panel.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to website owners about how visitors interact with their site.
Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services embedded in the website ("third-party cookies"). They may remain on your device for the duration of your browsing session ("session cookies") or persist for a defined period after you close your browser ("persistent cookies").
Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags (also known as web beacons). Where this policy refers to "cookies", it includes these comparable technologies unless stated otherwise.
3. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies to enable essential website functionality, understand how visitors use our site, and — with your consent — support marketing measurement. We categorise cookies into three groups, each with distinct purposes and legal bases for use.
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, submitting a form, or navigating between pages. Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent under PECR because the website cannot operate without them.
Examples of strictly necessary cookies used on our website include:
- Cookie consent preference: Stores your cookie consent choices so the banner does not reappear on every visit. Duration: twelve months.

3.2 Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously or in aggregated form. These cookies are only placed on your device if you accept them through our cookie banner or Cookie Settings panel. If you reject analytics cookies, no analytics tracking occurs.
Analytics data helps us identify popular pages, understand navigation patterns, detect technical issues, and improve content relevance. We use this information to enhance the educational value and usability of our meal rhythm architecture content.
Potential analytics cookies may include:
- Page view tracking: Records which pages are visited and time spent on each page. Duration: up to twenty-six months.
- Referral source: Identifies how you arrived at our website (e.g., search engine, direct visit). Duration: up to twenty-six months.
- Device and browser information: Collects anonymised technical data about your device and browser for compatibility analysis. Duration: up to twenty-six months.
3.3 Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies may be set through our site by advertising partners to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant content on other websites. These cookies are only activated with your explicit consent. If you reject marketing cookies, you will not be tracked for advertising purposes.
Marketing cookies may be used to:
- Measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns that direct visitors to our website
- Deliver relevant educational content about meal rhythm architecture on third-party platforms
- Limit the number of times you see a particular advertisement
- Understand which content resonates with different audience segments in aggregated form

- Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data

- Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions
Please note that blocking all cookies may affect website functionality, including the ability to save your cookie preferences.

6. Legal Basis for Cookie Use
Under UK PECR and GDPR, our legal bases for using cookies are:
- Strictly necessary cookies: Legitimate interest in providing a functional, secure website. No consent required.
- Analytics cookies: Your consent, given through our cookie banner or Cookie Settings panel.
- Marketing cookies: Your explicit consent, given through our cookie banner or Cookie Settings panel.
You may withdraw consent for analytics and marketing cookies at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
7. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our website are placed by third-party services we use to enhance functionality or measure performance. These third parties act as independent data controllers or processors depending on the service. We select providers with appropriate data protection practices and require data processing agreements where they process personal data on our behalf.
Third-party services that may set cookies include web font providers (Google Fonts), icon libraries, and — with your consent — analytics and advertising platforms. We minimise third-party cookie usage and prioritise privacy-respecting alternatives where available.
8. Data Collected Through Cookies
Information collected through cookies may constitute personal data under UK GDPR when it can be linked to an identifiable individual, such as through an IP address or unique device identifier. Such data is processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy, including provisions on data retention, security, and your rights as a data subject.
Analytics data is aggregated wherever possible to reduce identifiability. We do not use cookie data to make automated decisions that affect your legal rights or similarly significant matters.
9. International Transfers
Some third-party cookie providers may process data outside the United Kingdom. Where this occurs, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including Standard Contractual Clauses, adequacy decisions, or binding corporate rules, as required by UK GDPR Chapter V.
10. Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in the cookies we use, applicable law, or our business practices. The date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised. Material changes will be communicated through an updated cookie banner or a notice on our website.
