Cookie Policy
Updated January 2025
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies on lightcore-maxon.com to improve your browsing experience. This policy explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
By continuing to use our website, you're agreeing to our use of cookies as described here. But don't worry—you have control over what gets stored on your device.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your computer or mobile device when you visit them. They help websites remember your actions and preferences over time, so you don't have to keep re-entering information.
Think of them as digital sticky notes. When you visit a site, it can leave a note on your browser. Next time you come back, the site reads that note and remembers things about your previous visit.
We also use similar technologies like web beacons, pixels, and local storage. These serve comparable purposes—tracking your interactions with our site to make your experience smoother and more personalized.
Types of Cookies We Use
Not all cookies do the same thing. Here's a breakdown of the different types we use on lightcore-maxon.com:
Essential Cookies
These are necessary for the website to function properly. Without them, you wouldn't be able to navigate our site or use basic features. For example, they remember your login status and keep your session active while you browse different pages. You can't opt out of these because the site simply won't work without them.
Functional Cookies
These cookies enhance your experience by remembering your choices and preferences. They might store your language preference, remember which region you're browsing from, or keep track of items you've viewed. They make your visits more convenient by personalizing content based on what you've done before.
Analytical Cookies
We use these to understand how visitors interact with our website. They collect information about which pages you visit, how long you stay, and what links you click. This data is aggregated and anonymous—we don't know who you are specifically. It just helps us identify what's working well and what needs improvement.
Marketing Cookies
These track your browsing habits to deliver more relevant advertising. They're used to show you content and offers that might actually interest you, based on your previous visits. They also help us measure the effectiveness of our campaigns and avoid showing you the same ad repeatedly.
Why We Use Tracking Technologies
Cookies help us run a better website. They let us see which features people use most, which pages are confusing, and where visitors lose interest. That information drives our design decisions.
They also make things more convenient for you. When you return to our site, we can remember your preferences and skip the repetitive stuff. If you've filled out a form before, we might be able to pre-populate some fields. If you've browsed certain resources, we can suggest related content you haven't seen yet.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have several options for controlling cookies. Most browsers let you refuse cookies entirely or delete them after your session ends. Here's how you can manage them:
Browser Settings
All major browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings menu. Look for privacy or security options. Keep in mind that blocking all cookies might prevent some websites from working correctly.
Third-Party Tools
Browser extensions and privacy tools can give you more granular control. They let you block specific types of cookies or tracking scripts while allowing others. Some popular options include privacy-focused browser add-ons that block advertising trackers automatically.
Opt-Out Options
For marketing cookies specifically, you can opt out through industry preference centers. These let you tell advertising networks not to track you across websites. Search for "advertising opt-out" or similar terms to find these services.
Mobile Device Settings
If you're browsing on a phone or tablet, check your device's privacy settings. Both iOS and Android have options to limit tracking and reset your advertising identifier, which has a similar effect to clearing cookies.
Data Retention and Storage
Different cookies stay on your device for different lengths of time. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Persistent cookies stick around until they expire or you delete them manually.
Here's an overview of how long we typically store different types of data:
| Cookie Type | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Session cookies | Until browser closes | Maintain your active session while browsing |
| Preference cookies | 1 year | Remember your settings and choices |
| Analytics cookies | 2 years | Track site usage patterns over time |
| Marketing cookies | 6-12 months | Deliver relevant advertising content |
