1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They serve different purposes, including remembering your preferences, enabling functionality, and helping website operators understand how their site is used.

2. Cookies We Use

Neon Lace uses only strictly necessary cookies. These are cookies required for the Website to function and cannot be switched off.

2.1 Ghost (Content Management and Membership)

Our Website is built on the Ghost platform, which sets the following cookies:

• ghost-members-ssr — a session cookie used to authenticate logged-in members of our Membership tiers. This cookie is set when you sign in and enables access to member-only content. It expires when your browser session ends or after a short period of inactivity.
• ghost-members-csr — a client-side cookie used to support the member authentication process alongside the session cookie described above.

These cookies are essential to the operation of the membership functionality on the Website. They do not track your browsing activity and are not used for marketing or analytics purposes.

3. Cookies We Do Not Use

Neon Lace does not use:

1. analytics cookies;
2. advertising or tracking cookies;
3. social media cookies;
4. third-party cookies of any kind on this Website; or
5. newsletter or email tracking pixels.

4. Third-Party Payment Processing

When you subscribe to a Membership tier or purchase a product, you are redirected to Stripe's hosted checkout page (checkout.stripe.com) to complete payment. Stripe may set its own cookies on its domain to process your transaction securely. These cookies are governed by Stripe's own privacy and cookie policies, not by this policy. Neon Lace does not control or have access to cookies set by Stripe on its domain.

5. Consent

Because Neon Lace uses only strictly necessary cookies, consent is not required under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) or the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR). No cookie consent banner is displayed on the Website for this reason.

If Neon Lace introduces any non-essential cookies in the future, this policy will be updated and appropriate consent mechanisms will be put in place before those cookies are deployed.

6. Managing Cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect the functionality of the Website, including your ability to sign in to your Membership account.

7. Changes to This Policy

Neon Lace may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be published on this page with an updated effective date. Where changes are material, Neon Lace will take reasonable steps to notify affected users.
