2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small files or pieces of information stored on or accessed from your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when you visit a website.
Cookies and similar technologies can be used to: make a website function; remember preferences; retain shopping-basket contents; maintain secure sessions; understand website usage; measure website performance; measure advertising effectiveness; and support marketing.
References to “cookies” in this policy include similar storage and access technologies where applicable.
3. How 186Light uses cookies
We divide cookies and similar technologies into the following categories.
Strictly necessary cookies — required for the website to operate correctly or to provide a service you have specifically requested. They may be used for: shopping baskets; checkout; customer accounts; authentication; website security; fraud prevention; payment processing; session management; load balancing; and remembering your cookie choices. These technologies cannot normally be switched off through our cookie preference centre because parts of the website may not function correctly without them.
Functional cookies — allow the website to remember choices or provide enhanced functionality. These may include: display preferences; previously selected settings; language preferences; regional preferences; remembered website options; and enhanced customer-service features. Where consent is required, these technologies will not be activated until you give permission.
Analytics and performance cookies — help us understand how people use 186light.com. They may allow us to understand: visitor numbers; pages viewed; traffic sources; popular products; customer journeys; devices and browsers used; website errors; search behaviour; basket activity; checkout performance; and completed transactions. At launch, 186Light’s policy is that analytics technologies requiring consent will not be activated until you choose to accept them. Where a particular analytics technology can lawfully operate without prior consent under an applicable statutory exemption, we will only rely on that exemption where all relevant legal requirements have been met.
4. Advertising and marketing cookies
Advertising and marketing technologies may be used to: measure advertising effectiveness; measure responses to marketing campaigns; understand which marketing channels generate sales; create advertising audiences; support remarketing; limit repeated advertising; provide more relevant advertising; and measure conversions. These technologies are not strictly necessary for you to use 186light.com. Where consent is legally required, advertising and marketing technologies will remain disabled until you actively accept them.
5. Third-party technologies
Some cookies and similar technologies may be provided by organisations whose services are integrated with 186light.com. Depending on the services operating on our website, these may include providers involved in: website analytics; online advertising; social-media services; payment processing; fraud prevention; website hosting; content delivery; customer support; email marketing; and embedded media or content. Where third parties process personal information, further information may be available in: our Privacy Policy; the cookie preference centre; and the relevant provider’s own privacy information.
6. Your cookie choices
When you first visit 186light.com, you may be presented with a cookie-control mechanism allowing you to choose how optional technologies are used. The available choices should include:
Accept all — allows optional cookie categories to operate, including analytics, functional or advertising technologies displayed within the preference centre.
Reject optional cookies — allows the website to operate using strictly necessary cookies and other technologies that can lawfully operate without optional consent.
Manage preferences — allows you to make individual choices concerning different cookie categories.
Rejecting optional cookies will not prevent you from: browsing our products; adding products to your shopping basket; placing an order; or using the essential functionality of 186light.com.
7. Changing your preferences
You can change your cookie choices at any time through the Cookie Settings or equivalent link displayed on 186light.com. You may: accept additional categories; reject optional categories; withdraw previously provided consent; or update your preferences. Withdrawing consent will not affect processing that lawfully took place before consent was withdrawn. You can also delete or block cookies through your browser settings.
8. Cookies used on 186light.com
The specific cookies and technologies used on 186light.com may change as we develop our website and introduce or remove service providers. 186Light will maintain an appropriate cookie register or preference system identifying information such as: cookie or technology name; provider; purpose; category; whether it is first-party or third-party; duration; and whether consent is required. The cookie preference system should reflect the technologies actually operating on the live website.
9. E-commerce cookies
Our online store requires certain technologies to provide essential e-commerce functionality. These may be used to: remember items placed in your shopping basket; maintain a checkout session; recognise an authenticated customer; maintain account security; process transactions; prevent fraud; associate an order with the correct session; and remember cookie preferences. Where these technologies are strictly necessary to provide a service you have requested, they may operate without optional cookie consent.
10. Analytics
Where analytics technologies require consent, they will remain disabled unless you choose to enable them. Analytics information may include: pages visited; time spent on pages; navigation paths; traffic source; device type; browser type; website interactions; product views; shopping-basket events; and completed purchases. We use this information to understand and improve: website usability; product merchandising; website performance; customer journeys; search functionality; and the commercial performance of 186light.com.
11. Advertising and remarketing
If 186Light uses services such as: paid-search conversion tracking; display advertising; social-media advertising; remarketing; audience building; or advertising attribution, the relevant cookies or tracking technologies will be categorised separately from strictly necessary website functions. Where consent is required, these technologies will remain disabled until you actively accept the relevant category.
12. How long cookies remain on your device
Some cookies are session cookies and normally disappear when you close your browser. Others are persistent cookies and remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them. The duration of individual cookies will, where appropriate, be displayed within the website’s cookie register or preference centre.
13. Browser controls
Most modern browsers allow you to: view cookies; delete cookies; block cookies; restrict third-party cookies; and control how websites store information on your device. Blocking strictly necessary cookies through your browser may cause elements of 186light.com to stop working correctly, including: your shopping basket; customer accounts; checkout; or payment functionality.
14. Privacy and personal information
Some cookies and similar technologies may involve the processing of personal information. Information about how 186Light collects and processes personal information, your legal rights and how to contact us is available in our separate Privacy Policy.
15. Changes to this Cookie Policy
