Cookie & Storage Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Lucent Carat Lab uses cookies, local browser storage, and related technologies to provide a fast, secure, and personalized experience across our website.
Last updated 18 August 2026
11. What Are Cookies & Local Storage?
Cookies are small data files stored on your browser when you visit a website. Local storage operates similarly by securely retaining state on your device without sending redundant network traffic on every HTTP request. These technologies allow our catalog to remember your diamond selections, active currency, and wishlist across page reloads.
22. Strictly Essential Cookies & Local State
These technical tokens are vital for the core functionality and security of the site: (a) Cart & Wishlist Storage: Remembers your selected loose diamonds and jewelry settings; (b) Authentication & Session State: Maintains your signed-in customer portal status; (c) Security & CSRF Defense: Protects against cross-site request forgery and unauthorized API access.
33. Payment Gateway & Fraud Prevention Tokens
When checking out, our integrated payment processors (Stripe, Razorpay, and PayPal) set temporary session cookies to facilitate 3D Secure verification, biometric validation, and automated fraud prevention. These tokens are handled directly within the secure payment gateways under PCI-DSS compliance standards.
44. Performance & Diagnostics
We collect aggregated, non-personally identifiable diagnostic metrics to measure site latency, diamond search responsiveness, and broken link reports. These aggregated insights help us optimize catalog loading speeds and search filtering performance worldwide.
55. Zero Third-Party Advertising Trackers
Lucent Carat Lab does not sell your browsing activity or deploy invasive third-party cross-site marketing trackers that follow you across the internet. Your gemstone research and purchase inquiries remain confidential.
66. Managing & Clearing Your Browser Storage
You have full control over cookie and storage settings within your web browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge). You can clear your cookies or local storage at any time via your browser's Privacy & Security settings. Note that clearing storage will reset your active cart and saved wishlist diamonds.
