This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies this website uses, and the choices available to you. It applies to the Lotus Anchor website at lotus-anchor.info.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which covers how we handle personal data more broadly.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work as expected, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the website operator about how the site is being used.
Cookies are not programs and cannot access other files on your device. They are associated with your browser, not your person — so if you use multiple browsers, each will hold its own set of cookies.
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function. They enable core features such as page navigation and form submission. Without them, certain parts of the site would not work. Because they are essential, they cannot be disabled through our preference centre.

4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our site are set by third-party services rather than Lotus Anchor directly. We do not have access to or control over these third-party cookies. The relevant third parties are:
- Google LLC — Google Analytics 4. Google Privacy Policy
- Meta Platforms, Inc. — Meta Pixel for advertising measurement. Meta Privacy Policy
- Microsoft Corporation — Bing ads and Microsoft Clarity. Microsoft Privacy Statement
Each of these third parties operates under its own privacy framework. We encourage you to review their policies if you have questions about how they handle data.
5. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser
In addition to using our preference centre above, you can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies from specific sites. Please note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of websites you visit, including ours.

6. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers transmit a "Do Not Track" signal to websites. Our website does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals in a standardised way, as there is no agreed technical standard for how sites should honour them. You may use our preference centre above to manage your choices directly.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, legal requirements, or how we operate. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to check this page periodically if you would like to stay informed.
