Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other devices when you visit a website. They are widely used by online stores to make websites work more efficiently, remember your preferences (like what is in your shopping cart), and provide analytical information to the website owners.

Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following types of cookies on the Vela & Lux website:

1. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for our website to function properly. They enable core features such as navigating the site, securely logging into your account, and keeping items in your shopping cart ready for checkout. Because these are required for the website to work, they cannot be disabled in our systems.

2. Performance and Analytics Cookies

We want to provide the best possible experience when you shop for ambient lighting. These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us know which pages are the most and least popular (e.g., which accent light fixtures are trending) and see how visitors move around the site.

3. Functional Cookies

These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. For example, they remember your region or language preferences so you don't have to re-enter them every time you visit.

4. Targeting and Advertising Cookies

As an e-commerce brand, we use these cookies to deliver advertisements that are relevant to you and your interests. They may be set through our site by our advertising partners (such as Google or Meta/Facebook). They can be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant Vela & Lux ads on other websites. They do not store personal information directly but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.

Third-Party Cookies

In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-party cookies to report usage statistics of the website and deliver advertisements. This includes tools like Google Analytics, Shopify (our e-commerce platform), and social media pixels. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies governing their use of your data.

How to Manage Your Cookie Preferences

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies.

Browser Settings: You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality and areas of our website (like a saved shopping cart) may be restricted.
Opt-Out Links: https://velaandlux.com/pages/data-sharing-opt-out.

If you use a browser or device that sends a valid Global Privacy Control signal, we will treat that signal as an opt-out request for that browser and device where required by applicable law.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
