Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones Lifestyles by Stella uses, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let a site remember your actions and preferences over time — such as whether you’ve closed a message, or how you arrived. Similar technologies (pixels, local storage, tags) work in comparable ways and are covered by this policy too.
2. Categories we use
- Strictly necessary — required for the site to work, including security, load balancing and remembering your cookie choices. These can’t be switched off through our controls because the site won’t function without them.
- Analytics and performance — help us understand how readers use the site: which pages are read, how long people stay, where traffic comes from, and where readers leave. Data is aggregated.
- Functionality — remember choices you make, such as display preferences or whether you’ve subscribed.
- Advertising and affiliate — set by us or our partners to measure whether an affiliate link led to a purchase, and to limit repetitive advertising. These help fund the site and don’t change the price you pay.

4. Consent
Where required by law, non-essential cookies are set only after you agree through our consent banner. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time via the cookie settings link in the site footer, or by clearing cookies in your browser. Refusing non-essential cookies doesn’t limit your access to any article on this site.
5. How to control and delete cookies
You can manage cookies through your browser settings — block all cookies, block third-party cookies, delete existing cookies, or be notified before a cookie is stored. Instructions for the most common browsers:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies
- Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
You can also opt out of Google Analytics measurement across sites using Google’s browser opt-out tool, and opt out of interest-based advertising through your regional advertising-industry opt-out pages. Blocking all cookies may affect some site features.
6. Third-party cookies
Some cookies are set by third parties whose content or services appear on this site — for example analytics, email and affiliate providers. We don’t control those cookies directly; their use is governed by their own policies. Links to the relevant policies are available on request at [FILL: privacy@lifestylesbystella.com — or route to contact@lifestylesbystella.com].
7. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as our tools or legal requirements change. The current version is always on this page with the date above.
