Stellar Lume Studio ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website. This Cookies Policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use — including Google Analytics 4 — and how you can manage your preferences. By continuing to use our website, you consent to the use of cookies as described here.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognize your device and remember information about your visit — such as your preferences, pages viewed, and browsing behavior. Cookies cannot run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Similar technologies such as pixels and local storage may also be used for comparable purposes.
Types of Cookies We Use
We use a limited set of cookies to operate and improve our website:
Essential Cookies
These cookies are required for our website to function properly. They enable core features such as page navigation and security. Without these cookies, parts of our website may not work as intended.
Analytics Cookies
We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website. This data helps us improve our content, page structure, and overall performance. Analytics on our site are powered by Google Analytics 4.
Preference Cookies
Preference cookies remember choices you make — such as your cookie consent decision — so we do not need to ask again on future visits.
Google Analytics 4
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4), a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. GA4 uses cookies and similar technologies to collect information about how visitors use our website, including pages visited and time spent, referring websites and traffic sources, browser type, device, and operating system, approximate geographic location based on IP address, and user interactions such as clicks and scroll depth. GA4 processes data using anonymization by default — IP addresses are not stored in full. This data is used solely to understand and improve our website, never for advertising or remarketing. Google's use of data collected through GA4 is governed by the Google Privacy Policy at policies.google.com/privacy. You can opt out of GA4 tracking at any time by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies to analyze how visitors use our site and identify areas for improvement, remember your cookie consent preferences so we do not prompt you unnecessarily, ensure our website functions correctly across different browsers and devices, and measure the effectiveness of our content and page structure.
Managing Your Cookies
You have several options to control or limit how cookies are used when you visit our website:
Browser Settings
Most browsers allow you to view, manage, block, or delete cookies through their settings. Disabling cookies may affect certain features of our website. Refer to your browser's help documentation for specific instructions.
Opt Out of Google Analytics
You can prevent Google Analytics 4 from collecting data about your visit by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Alternatively, you can adjust your browser to block third-party cookies.
Cookie Consent
When you first visit our website, you will be asked to consent to non-essential cookies. You can withdraw or update your consent at any time by clearing your cookies and revisiting the site.
Third-Party Cookies
Our website may use cookies placed by trusted third-party services, including Google Analytics 4. These third parties may set cookies on your device to provide analytics and help us improve our services. We do not control third-party cookies directly and recommend reviewing each provider's privacy policy for more information.
Cookie Retention
The length of time a cookie remains on your device depends on its type. Session cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period — GA4 analytics cookies are retained for up to 2 years by default. You can delete cookies at any time through your browser settings, which will not affect your ability to use our website.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. The “Last Updated” date at the top of this page will always reflect when the most recent changes were made. Your continued use of our website after any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
