Cookies Policy

Last updated: 2024

This Cookies Policy explains how Lotoki ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies on our website. This policy is written in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018, and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), as enforced in the United Kingdom by the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

By continuing to use our site, or by making a choice through our cookie consent banner, you are exercising control over the cookies described below.

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 applicable, remember choices you have made. Cookies can be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (which remain on your device for a set period).

2. The Cookie We Use

Lotoki takes a minimal approach to cookies. We set only one cookie on this website. We do not use analytics cookies, tracking scripts, session identifiers, or any third-party cookies embedded across the site by default.

Cookie Name Purpose Duration Type
cookie_choice_v1 Stores your consent preference regarding cookies, so we do not need to ask again on every visit. 1 year Essential (strictly necessary)

This is the only cookie set by our site. We do not run Google Analytics, Yandex Metrica, VK Pixel, or any similar analytics or advertising tracking scripts as standard features of this website.

3. Essential vs. Optional Cookies

Under PECR, cookies are generally divided into two categories:

4. Advertising Measurement on the Confirmation Page

The only exception to our "no optional cookies" approach relates to a single page: the order/registration confirmation page. On that page only, and only after you have given consent through our cookie banner, a limited advertising measurement tag may run in order to help us understand whether an advertising campaign led to a completed registration.

This measurement:

If you decline consent, this measurement script will not load, and no advertising cookie will be set on the confirmation page.

5. How to Change or Withdraw Your Consent

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time by:

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before withdrawal.

6. Third-Party Advertising Cookies

We do not embed third-party advertising cookies across the general website. The only scenario in which a third-party cookie may be set is the consent-gated advertising measurement described in Section 4, limited strictly to the confirmation page. We do not share browsing data from other pages with advertising networks, as no tracking mechanism exists to collect it.

7. Your Rights

Under the UK GDPR, you have rights regarding personal data associated with cookies, including the right to access, rectify, or erase such data, and the right to object to processing. Because our cookie usage is minimal and largely limited to a consent-preference cookie, most requests can be resolved simply by clearing your browser cookies or adjusting your consent choice.

If you have questions or wish to exercise any rights, please contact us using the details below.
