This Cookies Policy sets out in detail how Loviero Design Ltd (“we”, “us”, “our”) utilises cookies, tracking files and similar technologies on the website lovieroltd.com and across its connected online environments. It explains the categories of cookies we use, their purposes, the lawful basis for processing, the rights of users and the technical mechanisms available to control such data.
Our company develops and provides interactive leisure and entertainment software, information technology services and specialised design solutions. The secure and transparent management of cookies and related data processing is essential to our digital infrastructure, ensuring operational integrity, analytical accuracy and lawful marketing communication under applicable UK and international regulations.
By accessing or using the website, you acknowledge and agree that cookies may be placed and read on your device as described herein, unless you actively reject or manage them through your browser or device settings.
DEFINITION AND NATURE OF COOKIES
Cookies are structured text data fragments stored locally on your computer, smartphone or other internet-enabled device by websites that you visit. They serve as identifiers allowing us to recognise returning visitors, preserve session consistency and deliver tailored experiences. Cookies may be temporary (session-based, deleted upon browser closure) or persistent (retained until expiration or manual deletion).
In addition to cookies, we may employ technologies that operate in a similar manner, including local storage, tags, SDKs, pixel identifiers, and JavaScript-based tracking elements. These technologies assist in compiling statistical insights, authenticating users, preventing fraudulent activity, maintaining service continuity and enhancing the overall reliability of yambukh.studio.
Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot in themselves infect your device with malware; however, they may indirectly contribute to profiling and targeted advertising depending on user consent.
CATEGORIES OF COOKIES USED BY LOVIERO DESIGN LTD
We maintain an internal classification of cookies into four principal categories based on functionality, necessity and legal basis.
NECESSARY COOKIES
These files form the technical foundation of the website’s operation. Without them, core services such as navigation, payment gateways, session management and data security mechanisms would cease to function effectively. Necessary cookies also enable server load balancing, system diagnostics and encryption validation during user interaction. They are installed automatically upon accessing the website and do not require user consent, as their deployment is based on legitimate interest in ensuring security and accessibility.
FUNCTIONAL COOKIES
Functional cookies enhance usability and allow the site to remember configuration details such as language preference, timezone, regional settings, user interface layout, form input and device type. They create a seamless browsing experience and allow the user to resume previous sessions without reconfiguring settings. These cookies are non-essential and therefore require prior consent. Disabling them may affect the comfort and convenience of the browsing experience but not the fundamental functionality.
ANALYTICAL AND PERFORMANCE COOKIES
Analytical cookies collect and process pseudonymised data on user behaviour for the purpose of performance monitoring, interface optimisation and content improvement. We use these tools to identify technical issues, detect navigation friction and evaluate overall website efficiency.
Such analytics may include but are not limited to: frequency of visits, scroll depth, time spent on each page, error logs, device specifications, geographic region, referral sources and outbound link activity. These insights allow Loviero Design Ltd to continuously refine software architecture, improve accessibility compliance and enhance the commercial viability of our web presence.
To achieve this, we may engage third-party analytics providers including but not limited to Google Analytics, Matomo and Hotjar. These services operate under independent data protection frameworks consistent with UK GDPR and implement anonymisation or pseudonymisation by default wherever feasible.
MARKETING AND TARGETING COOKIES
Marketing cookies enable us to manage advertising relevance and measure the efficiency of promotional campaigns. They support the display of targeted content based on user interests derived from behavioural analytics and previous interactions with yambukh.studio or affiliated platforms.
Examples include cookies set by Google Ads, Meta (Facebook and Instagram), YouTube, or similar networks. These tools may integrate data from multiple digital environments to create statistical audience segments. All such cookies are optional and subject to the user’s explicit and informed consent. Refusal of marketing cookies will not limit access to the site but may result in less personalised advertising.
LEGAL FRAMEWORK AND BASIS FOR PROCESSING
Our use of cookies adheres to the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).
Under these laws, the following principles apply:
Necessary cookies are processed under the lawful basis of legitimate interest as they ensure the functionality, stability and cybersecurity of the website.
Functional, analytical and marketing cookies are processed only upon freely given consent, requested via the cookie banner during your first visit.
Consent may be withdrawn at any time without affecting the legality of prior processing.
We maintain detailed internal records of cookie consent through our consent management platform and log all preference changes for compliance verification.
COOKIE MANAGEMENT AND USER CONTROL
You may configure your browser or device to reject cookies, to accept only specific categories or to delete stored cookies at any time. Comprehensive guidance is available within most browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Microsoft Edge.
Our website also includes an integrated Cookie Settings panel enabling you to adjust permissions dynamically. Some cookies, especially those related to authentication and essential server operations, cannot be disabled without affecting access to secure areas of the website.
Please note that restricting cookies may degrade performance, prevent form submission or hinder access to subscription and download areas.
THIRD-PARTY COOKIE USAGE
In operating lovieroltd.com, Loviero Design Ltd collaborates with selected partners and vendors who may set their own cookies subject to their independent privacy policies. Examples include:
Google, for analytics, tag management and embedded services such as YouTube or Google Fonts
Meta Platforms, for audience measurement and social media integration
Stripe, for payment processing and fraud prevention
Mailchimp or other providers, for opt-in newsletter management
Loviero Design Ltd performs due diligence to ensure that third-party partners comply with data protection obligations and maintain adequate safeguards for international data transfers.
DATA RETENTION AND SECURITY
Cookies are retained for varying durations depending on their category and purpose. Session cookies are removed once you close your browser, while persistent cookies may remain active for up to two years or until manually deleted. Analytical and advertising cookies may retain anonymised identifiers for statistical continuity.
All collected data is transmitted through encrypted channels using TLS 1.3 or equivalent protocols and stored within secure cloud environments compliant with ISO/IEC 27001. We conduct periodic security audits and maintain a data minimisation policy ensuring no cookie-stored information exceeds necessity.
POLICY CHANGES AND VERSION CONTROL
Loviero Design Ltd reserves the right to revise this Cookies Policy periodically to reflect changes in technology, regulation or our internal operational practices. When revisions occur, the updated version will be posted on lovieroltd.com and the “Last Updated” date above will be amended accordingly. Substantive changes will be communicated to users through a visible notification banner. Continued use of the website constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
