Cookie policy

Draft awaiting legal review. It describes how Lanternbee works today but is not yet binding.

lanternbee.com (this website)

This website works without any cookies. It remembers a few choices in your browser’s local storage: light or dark colours, the currency you picked, whether you prefer monthly or yearly prices, and your answer to the cookie question. Nothing of that is sent to us or anyone else. We count visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics, which uses no cookies and no local storage, so it needs no permission.

We may also use two optional cookies: Google Analytics (_ga, from Google, to see which pages people visit and how they found us, up to 2 years) and the Meta Pixel (_fbp, from Meta, to measure our ads on Facebook and Instagram, up to 3 months). When we do, a small box at the bottom of the page asks first, and neither loads until you press Accept. To change your mind, press Cookie settings at the bottom of any page. We ask again after 12 months. The privacy policy has the details.

These cookies are strictly necessary, so they need no consent. They are limited to the site that set them and cannot be read by scripts.

Author stores

A store remembers its basket and the visitor’s cookie choice in local storage. Authors can add analytics or advertising pixels (Google Analytics, Meta, TikTok) to their store. Those pixels load only after a visitor in the EU or UK accepts them in the cookie banner, and the author is responsible for them.
