COOKIE POLICY
- This is the cookie policy of Stellium. In this document, "we", "our", or "us" refer to Stellium. Stellium is a trading name of Stella Maris Coaching Limited which owns and operates our website. This policy explains how and why we use cookies and similar technologies on our website, and the choices you have.
1. WHAT ARE COOKIES
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device by your web browser when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of a site.
Cookies allow a website to recognise your device and store information about your preferences or past actions so that it can provide you with a more personalised experience.
Some cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser ("session cookies"), while others remain on your device for a set period of time, or until you delete them ("persistent cookies").
2. HOW WE USE COOKIES
We use cookies for a number of reasons, including to:
- 2.1 keep you signed in and remember your session while you browse our website;
- 2.2 remember the items you have added to your cart before you complete checkout;
- 2.3 understand how you use our website so that we can improve it;
- 2.4 record whether you have already responded to our cookie consent notice;
- 2.5 measure the effectiveness of our content and any advertising we serve.
When you first visit our website, we will ask you whether you consent to our use of non-essential cookies. If you choose not to accept them, we will only use cookies that are strictly necessary for the website to function.
3. TYPES OF COOKIES WE USE
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for our website to function properly, for example to keep you logged in to your account, remember items in your cart, and keep the site secure. Our website cannot function properly without these cookies, and they can only be disabled by changing your browser settings.
3.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, for instance which pages visitors go to most often. We use this data to help improve how our website works and to understand what our customers are interested in. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.
3.3 Functionality Cookies
These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred timezone or display preferences) and provide enhanced, more personal features.
3.4 Targeting and Advertising Cookies
These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not directly store personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.

This is not an exhaustive list, and third-party services we use from time to time (such as Stripe for payment processing) may set their own cookies in accordance with their own cookie policies.
5. THIRD-PARTY COOKIES
Some cookies are placed by third parties on our behalf. Third parties include search engines, providers of measurement and analytics services, social media networks, and advertising companies. We do not control the operation of third-party cookies. Please check the relevant third party's website for more information about these cookies.
6. HOW TO MANAGE OR DISABLE COOKIES
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically find these settings in the "options" or "preferences" menu of your browser. You can:
- 6.1 delete cookies already stored on your device;
- 6.2 block cookies from being set in the future;
- 6.3 have your browser notify you whenever a cookie is set;
- 6.4 browse in "private" or "incognito" mode, which limits cookie storage to your session.
Please note that if you choose to block or delete cookies, some parts of our website — such as staying signed in, or keeping items in your cart — may no longer work as intended.
