COOKIE POLICY · LUMINA MAGAZINE

​

Effective Date: October 2026

At Lumina Magazine (hereinafter referred to as "the Magazine", "we", "us", or "our"), we believe in being clear and transparent about how we collect and use data related to you. This Cookie Policy applies to any Lumina Magazine website, digital newsletter, or online service that links to or incorporates this policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website or interact with a digital publication. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, improve user experience, remembered user preferences, and provide analytical information to site owners.

In addition to cookies, we may use similar tracking technologies such as web beacons, clear GIFs, tracking pixels, and local storage (collectively referred to as "Cookies" in this policy).

2. How We Use Cookies

Lumina Magazine uses cookies for several key operational and technical purposes:

• Essential Functionality: Ensuring our digital platforms, newsletters, and reader forms load properly and securely.

• Preference Tracking: Remembering your choices, language preferences, and reading habits across sessions.

• Analytics & Performance: Understanding how readers interact with our content, which articles are most read, and measuring the performance of our newsletters (such as email open rates and link clicks).

• Content Personalization: Tailoring editorial recommendations and upcoming issue previews to match your reading interests.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies used across our platforms into the following types:

A. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for you to browse our site and use its features, such as accessing secure subscriber areas or loading pages correctly. Without these cookies, services you have asked for (like reading articles or managing your subscription) cannot be provided.

B. Performance & Analytics Cookies

These cookies gather statistical information about how visitors use our platforms (e.g., page views, bounce rates, and traffic sources). They allow us to measure and improve the performance of our editorial content. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and anonymized.

C. Functionality Cookies

These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your regional preferences or layout choices) and provide enhanced, more personal features.

D. Email & Newsletter Tracking Pixels

Our digital emails and newsletters (including Lumina Dispatch) contain small electronic images known as web beacons or tracking pixels. These allow us to know whether an email has been opened, how many times it was viewed, and which links within the dispatch were clicked. This helps us refine our art coverage based on subscriber engagement.

4. Third-Party Cookies

In some instances, we use reputable third-party service providers to help us analyze site traffic and deliver digital content. These third parties (such as web analytics providers, newsletter automation platforms, or embedded media players) may set their own cookies on your device when you interact with our content.

Lumina Magazine does not directly control these third-party cookies. We encourage you to check the respective privacy and cookie policies of these external services.

You can configure your browser to block all cookies, accept only first-party cookies, or delete cookies when you close your browser.
