1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on a device when a website is visited. Similar technologies may include local storage, pixels, tags, software development kits and server-side identifiers.
2. Cookie categories
| Category | Purpose | Consent position | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Security, network management, load balancing, session continuity, form operation and storage of cookie choices. | These cannot normally be disabled through the website because they are required for operation. | Session to 12 months. |
| Analytics | Understanding aggregated traffic, page performance, navigation patterns and errors. | Used only where enabled and, where required, after consent. | Up to 24 months, depending on the provider. |
| Functional | Remembering preferences and enabling optional features such as maps, video or enhanced forms. | Used after consent where the feature is not essential. | Session to 12 months. |
| Marketing or social media | Measuring campaigns, enabling social-media features or showing more relevant communications. | Used only if deployed and after the required consent. | Provider-dependent, generally up to 24 months. |
3. Current deployment
The website should operate with strictly necessary cookies by default. Non-essential analytics, functional and marketing cookies should remain blocked until the visitor makes a choice, where consent is required. The actual cookie inventory displayed in the preference centre must be updated whenever a new vendor, embedded feature or tracking technology is introduced.
4. Managing cookies
Visitors may accept all, reject non-essential cookies or manage categories through the cookie banner or preference centre, where available. Browser settings can also delete or block cookies, although some website functions may not work correctly.
5. Third-party technologies
Embedded maps, videos, social-media buttons, analytics services or other third-party features may set their own cookies when activated. Their practices are governed by their policies. Such features should be configured in privacy-enhanced mode where reasonably available.
6. Do Not Track and similar signals
Browser-based privacy signals are not uniformly standardised. We will respond to legally recognised signals where applicable and otherwise rely on the cookie preference tool and browser controls.
7. Updates and contact
This Cookie Policy may be updated when website technology changes. Questions may be sent to business@lilyinasia.com.
