Cookie Policy
Last updated: 26 August 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Noctura uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit www.nocturalights.co.uk.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small files stored on your computer, phone or other device when you visit a website.
They can help websites work properly, remember preferences, keep products in your basket and provide information about how the website is being used.
Similar technologies, such as pixels, scripts and local storage, may perform related functions.
How Noctura uses cookies
We may use cookies for the following purposes.
Essential cookies
These are necessary for the website and online shop to operate.
They may be used for things such as:
Website security
Keeping the site functioning correctly
Shopping basket and checkout
Customer accounts
Remembering cookie choices
Processing transactions
Because these cookies are necessary to provide services you request, they do not normally require your consent.
Analytics cookies
Where you choose to allow them, analytics cookies help us understand how people use Noctura.
For example, they can help us understand:
Which pages are visited most often
How visitors arrive at the website
Which products or content are popular
How customers move through the website
Whether parts of the website are performing as expected
We use this information to improve the website and customer experience.
Marketing and advertising cookies
If we use advertising or marketing technologies, and you choose to allow them, cookies or similar technologies may help us:
Understand the effectiveness of advertising
Measure whether an advertisement resulted in a visit or purchase
Show more relevant advertising
Avoid repeatedly showing the same advertisement
These technologies may be provided by third-party platforms.
Functional cookies
Some optional cookies may remember choices or enable additional website features.
Squarespace
Noctura is built and hosted using Squarespace.
Squarespace may use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary to provide website, ecommerce, security and customer-account functionality.
Some optional Squarespace or connected-service cookies may also be used depending on the choices you make in our cookie banner.
Your cookie choices
When you first visit Noctura, you may be given choices about non-essential cookies.
You can accept or reject optional categories using our cookie banner or cookie settings.
You can change your preferences later using the cookie settings option available on our website.
Rejecting optional cookies should not prevent you from using the essential features of the Noctura shop.
Managing cookies through your browser
Most browsers also allow you to view, delete or block cookies through their settings.
Blocking all cookies may affect how some parts of the website work — particularly functions such as customer accounts, baskets or checkout.
Third-party services
Our website may use services supplied by third parties, such as:
Payment processors
Analytics providers
Social-media platforms
Marketing platforms
Embedded website tools
Where these services use non-essential cookies or similar tracking technologies, they should only be activated where the appropriate consent has been obtained.
Those third parties may process information in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies.
How long cookies last
Some cookies are session cookies and disappear when you close your browser.
Others are persistent cookies and remain for a set period or until you delete them.
The duration depends on the individual cookie and its purpose.
Our cookie consent tool should provide more detailed information about the cookies currently in use where available.
Updates to this policy
The technologies used on our website may change as Noctura develops.
We may therefore update this Cookie Policy from time to time, particularly if we add or remove website, analytics or marketing services.
The latest version will always be published on this page.
