1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Lana Commerce, Inc. ("Lana," "We," "Us," or "Our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website lana.dev and in connection with the provision of our headless commerce platform and related services (collectively, the "Services") to our Merchants. This policy also describes what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them.

This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy. By using our website or Services, you acknowledge the use of cookies and similar technologies as described in this Cookie Policy. Where consent is required for their use, we will obtain such consent before placing non-essential cookies.

Important Note Regarding Merchant Storefronts: This Cookie Policy applies to Lana's own website and the platform Services we provide directly to our Merchants (e.g., the Merchant admin panel). Our Merchants are responsible for their own cookie practices on the online storefronts they create and operate using the Lana platform. Merchants must provide their own cookie policies and obtain necessary consents from their end customers for cookies used on their storefronts. Lana may place essential cookies necessary for the basic functionality of the underlying platform that supports Merchant storefronts (e.g., for security or core operations), but Merchants control and are responsible for additional analytics, advertising, or other tracking technologies they implement on their storefronts.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device by websites that you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.

Cookies can be "session" cookies (which are temporary and expire when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (which stay on your device for a set period or until you delete them). Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Lana) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics).

We may also use other similar tracking technologies like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs") and scripts. These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our website or opened an e-mail that we have sent them.

3. How and Why We Use Cookies

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our website and Services to operate, and we refer to these as "strictly necessary" or "essential" cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our website and Services. Third parties serve cookies through our website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes.

The specific types of first and third-party cookies served through our website and the purposes they perform are described below (please note that the specific cookies may vary):

• Strictly Necessary Cookies:
• Purpose: These cookies are essential to provide you with services available through our website and to enable you to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas (e.g., your Merchant account dashboard), session management, and security. Without these cookies, the services that you have asked for cannot be provided.
• Examples: Session cookies, authentication cookies, security cookies.
• Opt-out: Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the website and Services to you, you cannot refuse them if you wish to use our website or Services.
• Performance and Analytical Cookies:
• Purpose: These cookies collect information about how you use our website and Services, for instance, which pages you go to most often, if you get error messages from web pages, and how you arrived at our website. This helps us improve how our website works and understand the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. The information collected is typically aggregated and anonymous.
• Examples: Google Analytics, Hotjar (or similar analytics tools).
• Opt-out: You can manage your preferences for these cookies through our cookie consent management tool (if implemented) or by adjusting your browser settings.
• Functional Cookies:
• Purpose: These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. For example, they can be used to remember your login details, changes you've made to text size, fonts, and other parts of web pages that you can customize.
• Examples: Language preference cookies, user interface customization cookies.
• Opt-out: You can manage your preferences for these cookies through our cookie consent management tool (if implemented) or by adjusting your browser settings.
• Targeting or Advertising Cookies:
• Purpose: These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you and your interests. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests. These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners (third-party cookies) to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites.
• Examples: Cookies from advertising networks like Google Ads, LinkedIn Ads, Facebook Pixel.
• Opt-out: You can manage your preferences for these cookies through our cookie consent management tool (if implemented) or by opting out via industry opt-out sites (see Section 4).
