Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Laraco (a trading name of 8Steps Limited) uses cookies and similar technologies on this website, and how you can control them.

What are cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember you, keep your basket working and understand how the site is used. Some cookies are essential for the site to work — others are optional and only used with your consent.

Cookies we use

Essential cookies

These are required for the website to function and cannot be switched off:

• ●laraco_session — keeps you signed in to your account. Expires when you log out or after the session ends.
• ●laraco_consent — remembers your cookie choice for 12 months so we don't ask on every visit.

Preference storage

These are stored in your browser (local storage, not sent to our servers):

• ●laraco_cart — keeps your shopping basket contents between visits.
• ●laraco_theme — remembers your light or dark mode preference.

Analytics cookies

Only used if you choose "Accept" on the cookie bar. If you choose "Decline" no analytics cookie is set and your visits are not tracked:

• ●lv_sid — an anonymous session identifier that lets us count visitors, pages viewed, rough location (country/city) and device type. No names, emails or raw IP addresses are stored — IP addresses are hashed before saving. Expires after 12 months.

Managing your choice

You can change your decision at any time using the "Cookie settings" link in the website footer — this clears your saved choice and shows the consent bar again. You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings; essential cookies are needed for signing in and checking out.
