Cookies Policy

Last updated: 2024

This Cookies Policy explains how Lidone ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies on our website. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy. This policy is written to comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), as enforced in the United Kingdom by the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow a site to recognise your device and, where relevant, remember information about your visit, such as choices you have made. Cookies can be "session" cookies, which expire when you close your browser, or "persistent" cookies, which remain on your device for a set period.

2. The Only Cookie We Use

Lidone takes a minimal approach to cookies. We do not run analytics software, we do not track browsing behaviour across our site, and we do not set any session, authentication or security-token cookies. The only cookie set by this website is described below.

Cookie Name Purpose Duration Category
consent_state Stores the choice you make in our cookie banner, so that we do not ask you again on every visit and so that we know whether advertising measurement may run on the confirmation page. 1 year Essential

We do not use Google Analytics, Yandex Metrica, VK Pixel, or any similar analytics or advertising network cookie on a general basis. No cookies named _ga, _gid, or similar are set anywhere on this site. We do not set session or CSRF cookies, as our website does not require visitor accounts or forms that rely on such mechanisms.

3. Essential vs Optional Cookies

Under PECR, cookies are generally divided into two categories:

As explained above, Lidone does not currently set any optional cookies of its own. The only situation in which any advertising-related activity occurs is described in Section 4 below.

4. Advertising Measurement and Third Parties

We do not run third-party advertising cookies across the site generally. Advertising measurement technology operates only on our confirmation page (for example, after a form submission), and only if you have given your consent via the cookie banner. If you have not consented, no advertising measurement activity takes place, and no related cookie or tag will fire on that page or elsewhere on the site.

If you consent, this measurement may be provided by a third-party advertising partner acting on our instructions, solely to help us understand the effectiveness of our marketing. We do not permit such partners to use this data for their own independent purposes beyond what is necessary for this measurement.

5. How to Change or Withdraw Your Consent

You can change your mind about advertising measurement consent at any time. To do so, you may:

Please note that blocking the consent_state cookie will not prevent you from using the website, but it will mean your preference cannot be remembered between visits.

6. Your Rights

As a UK-based visitor, you have rights under the UK GDPR in relation to any personal data associated with cookie use, including the right to withdraw consent, the right to access information we hold about you, and the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) if you believe your rights have been infringed.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
