This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies Lightinuk.com uses, and how you can manage your preferences. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device across pages and visits. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services operating on that site (third-party cookies). Cookies can be session cookies, which expire when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device until they expire or are deleted.

Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) and UK GDPR, non-essential cookies require your informed consent before being set.

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with this website. Analytics cookies collect information about pages visited, time spent on the site and general usage patterns.

You can change your preferences at any time by clearing the lig_consent cookie from your browser, which will trigger the consent banner again on your next visit.

You can also manage or delete cookies directly through your browser settings. Guidance for common browsers:
