Cookie Policy

Last updated: November 1, 2025

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They help us provide you with a better experience by remembering your preferences and improving platform performance.

How We Use Cookies

Luminous uses cookies for the following purposes:

Essential Cookies (Required)

These cookies are necessary for the platform to function. They enable core features like authentication, security, and basic functionality. You cannot opt out of these cookies.

  • Authentication tokens
  • Security features
  • Load balancing

Preference Cookies

These cookies remember your choices and preferences to personalize your experience.

  • Language preference
  • Theme settings
  • Soundscape preferences
  • Dashboard layout

Analytics Cookies (Optional)

These cookies help us understand how users interact with Luminous so we can improve the platform.

  • Page views and navigation patterns
  • Feature usage statistics
  • Error tracking
  • Performance metrics

Third-Party Cookies

We use minimal third-party services that may set their own cookies:

  • Authentication Provider: To manage secure login
  • Analytics: To understand platform usage (anonymized data only)
  • CDN: To deliver content efficiently

Where possible we self-host founder-verified brand imagery within Luminous's own storage, so viewing a brand profile does not load third-party tracking cookies from external content delivery networks. We carefully select partners who respect privacy and comply with data protection regulations.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through settings. You can typically:

  • View and delete cookies
  • Block all cookies
  • Block third-party cookies
  • Clear cookies when closing the browser

Impact of Disabling Cookies

If you disable cookies, some features of Luminous may not work properly. Essential cookies are required for the platform to function, so disabling them will prevent you from using Luminous.

Local Storage

In addition to cookies, Luminous may use browser local storage to enhance performance and cache translations. This data is stored on your device and can be cleared through your browser settings.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. We will notify you of significant changes through the platform.
