1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners.
Cookies may be "session cookies" (which expire when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them).
2. Cookies We Use
Luphar uses a minimal set of cookies necessary to operate the website correctly. We do not use advertising cookies or build user profiles for marketing purposes. The cookies we use fall into the following categories:
- Essential cookies - required for core site functionality
- Functional cookies - used to remember your preferences
- Analytics cookies - used to understand aggregate site usage (if enabled)
3. Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. Without them, certain features cannot be provided. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
- Session cookies: Used to maintain session state when you access preview content protected by an access code. These expire when your browser session ends.
- Security cookies: Used to prevent cross-site request forgery (CSRF) and related security attacks.
4. Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you make to provide a more personalized experience.
- Language preference cookie (
lang): Stores your selected language (English, Armenian, or Russian) so you don't need to re-select it on each visit. This cookie expires after 365 days or upon manual deletion.
5. Analytics Cookies
We may use privacy-respecting analytics tools to understand how visitors interact with our website in aggregate. Where analytics are used:
- No personally identifiable information is collected

If you prefer to opt out of analytics tracking, you can disable cookies in your browser settings or use browser extensions that block analytics scripts.

Our website may include content from or links to third-party services (such as social media platforms). These third parties may place their own cookies on your device when you interact with embedded content.
Luphar does not control third-party cookies and is not responsible for them. We recommend reviewing the cookie policies of any third-party services you interact with through our website.
