Cookie policy

About this policy

This policy applies to cookies and similar technologies used when you visit lovesustainablebrands.com. It should be read with the Privacy Policy, which explains how personal information is handled more generally.

Love Sustainable Brands is an editorial and affiliate website, not a retailer. Purchases take place on external brand or retailer websites.

Cookies and similar technology

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on a computer, phone or other device. Cookies can help a website operate, remember a choice, protect a service or understand how it is used.

Similar technologies include browser local storage and session storage, pixels, tags, scripts, link identifiers and other ways of storing or accessing information on a device. This policy covers these technologies as well as traditional cookies.

Current website status

The website was checked while logged out on 20 September 2026 across the Home, About, Brands A–Z, Editorial and Privacy Policy pages.

Website hosting, caching and security systems may also process ordinary connection and server-log information without storing a cookie in your browser. That processing is explained in the Privacy Policy.

Current technology inventory

The following browser technologies were identified in the current public build. This table does not list server logs because they are not stored on your device.

Google explains its handling of information in its privacy policy (opens in a new tab).

Technology categories

Strictly necessary

These technologies are essential to transmit a communication, provide a feature you request, protect the website or remember a privacy choice. They may operate without consent only when a legal exception genuinely applies.

Appearance and preferences

These technologies adapt how the website appears or remember a choice about its presentation. The WordPress emoji-support test is used for display compatibility. External font requests support the visual design. In the website configuration checked on the date above, these appearance technologies run automatically and there is not yet a separate on-site control for them.

Analytics and statistics

The website as checked on the date above does not currently use visitor analytics or session-recording technology. If statistical technology is introduced, it will either meet every condition of an applicable legal exception, including a simple way to object, or remain off until valid consent is given.

Marketing and affiliate measurement

The website as checked on the date above does not currently place advertising, remarketing or affiliate-measurement technology on your device. Any non-exempt technology introduced for these purposes will remain off until valid consent is given.

External and affiliate links

An ordinary external link does not allow the destination website to place its cookies on your device before you follow it. After you click, the brand, retailer or other destination may use its own cookies or similar technologies under its own policies.

At the date of this policy, Love Sustainable Brands is not placing active affiliate-network cookies or pixels on visitors’ devices. If affiliate tracking is activated later, the Affiliate Disclosure and this policy will be updated, and any non-exempt on-site technology will be subject to the required consent controls.

Your choices

The website as checked on the date above does not currently enable optional analytics, advertising or affiliate-measurement cookies, so there is no optional-cookie preference panel to operate at this time. The appearance technologies listed in the inventory currently run automatically without a separate on-site objection control.

If optional technologies are introduced:

• they will not be enabled before you make a choice where consent is required;
• continuing to browse, silence or closing a notice will not be treated as consent;
• rejecting non-essential technologies will be as easy as accepting them;
• choices will be offered by clear purpose; and
• you will be able to withdraw consent as easily as you gave it.

Strictly necessary technology cannot always be switched off through website controls because the requested service may depend on it.

Browser controls

Most browsers allow you to view, delete or block cookies and other stored website data. The steps differ between browsers, so use your browser’s help or privacy settings for current instructions.

Blocking necessary or appearance-related technology may prevent parts of the website from displaying or working as intended. Browser controls also cannot control cookies placed by an external website after you leave Love Sustainable Brands.

Changes to this policy

We review the technologies used on the website and may update this policy when the website, its services or legal requirements change. The latest version will be published on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
