Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They allow the website to remember information about your visit — for example, your preferences or whether you have already been shown a particular notice. Cookies do not give us access to your computer or any information other than what you choose to share with us.

This website also uses localStorage, a browser feature that works similarly to cookies by storing small pieces of data locally on your device. We use localStorage to remember your response to our cookie notice, so that we do not show it to you on every visit.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies and localStorage for the following purposes:

• To keep our website working correctly (essential function)
• To understand how visitors navigate the website, so that we can improve it over time
• To remember whether you have accepted or declined our cookie notice
• To support the operation of analytics tools that help us understand traffic patterns in aggregate

We do not use cookies to build personal profiles, to serve advertisements on this website, or to share your data with advertising networks.

5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

5.1 Our Cookie Notice

When you first visit our website, we show a notice at the bottom of the page asking for your consent to non-essential cookies. You may accept or decline. Your choice is stored in your browser's localStorage under the key heirlight_cookie_consent. If you decline, only essential localStorage entries are used.

If you wish to change your preference, you may clear your browser's local storage and site data for this website, which will cause the notice to appear again on your next visit.

5.2 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically find these under settings labelled "Privacy", "Security", or "Cookies". Disabling all cookies may affect the function of some websites. Guidance for common browsers:

• Google Chrome — Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
• Mozilla Firefox — Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Safari — Preferences → Privacy
• Microsoft Edge — Settings → Cookies and site permissions

5.3 Opt-Out Tools
