Cookie policy
"Lyst" means LYST LTD (a company incorporated in England and Wales, with company number 07132083 and with a registered office at The Minster Building 7th Floor, 21 Mincing Lane, London EC3R 7AG). Lyst is also referred to in this Cookie Policy as "we", "us", "our", and "ours".
This Cookie Policy applies to all of Lyst’s websites and mobile applications (the “Sites”) and any other platforms Lyst owns or controls and makes available (the “Lyst Platforms”). We refer to the Sites and the Lyst Platforms as the “Services”. This Cookie Policy also applies to any other linked pages or blogs, features, content (including any information, text, graphics, photos, lists of items compiled by you, comments, reviews, links, or other materials uploaded, downloaded or appearing on, or linked to the Services), or applications offered from time to time by Lyst in connection therewith (collectively the "Content").
Any changes to this policy will be posted here. We reserve the right to vary this Cookie Policy from time to time and such changes shall become effective as soon as they are posted.
1. What are “Cookies”?
A cookie is a small text file that is stored on your device when you visit certain websites. We use cookies to understand how you interact with our Services and distinguish you from other users of our Services. Among other benefits, this allows us to make improvements to the information and design of the Services and to provide you with better customer experience. The term “cookie” in this policy covers cookies and a range of other similar technologies.
It is easy to change your cookie settings. Please see the ‘How do you opt-out of personalised advertising and control other cookie settings?’ section below for further information on how to do this. However please be aware that if you delete, disable or opt-out of cookies, your online experience with the Services may be affected and some features or areas of the Services may be limited.
2. What type of cookies do we use and why?
We use the following categories of cookies on the Lyst Sites:
Strictly Necessary Cookies. These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
Performance Cookies. These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our site, and will not be able to monitor its performance.
Functional Cookies. These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly.
Targeting Cookies. These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
What about third-party cookies?
Third parties (for example, advertising networks and providers of external services like web traffic analysis services) may also store cookies on your device. These cookies are used by third parties to provide services to us, such as analytics/performance monitoring, or personalised advertising which may also include third parties using their cookies to show you adverts based on your past visits to the Sites. This means you may be shown different products based on what you appear to be interested in and what you have viewed on the Sites as well as other products deemed relevant to your browsing activity. In this way, advertising can be made as relevant and as useful to you as possible.
Note that we do not control cookies owned by third parties and it is your responsibility to configure your preferences for third-party cookies based on your individual targeting and tracking preferences.
Below we have listed the third parties that place cookies on the Lyst Platforms, along with the purpose for which the cookies are used. For further information on these third-party cookies and how to opt-out, please see the third-party links provided.

3. Other technologies
In addition to cookies, other types of similar technologies on the Sites include:
Web pixels. Pixels are tiny images embedded on the Sites. They are unique codes that track behaviours and web traffic.
Site tags. These tags allow us to understand your browsing activity and identify whether you arrived on the Sites from an organic search visit or via marketing channels.
Third party libraries and APIs. This is software or content owned by third parties that are used on the Sites
UTM codes. These are identifiers that help Lyst track website traffic and its origin.
Technologies Used in the Lyst Mobile Application
Application SDKs. We use first and third-party software development kits to collect and interact with information about your activity in the app and also the device on which you are using the application.
Similar to the way we use cookies, these application SDKs help Lyst understand what items you are interested in and how to improve your browsing experience and use of the Sites.
4. How do you opt-out of personalised advertising and control other cookie settings?
Cookie settings on the Sites. You can adjust your first and third party cookie preferences on the Site via the ‘Cookie Settings’ link available at the bottom of most of our Site pages. If you opt out of cookies, we set an opt out cookie in your browser so that we can remember that you opted out.
