title: How to set the default store (___store) with Magento, excluding front/home page
body: <p>My current Magento website is requesting a store (via lightbox) when the user first arrives on the home page. The user will continue navigating the website and content will appear properly without any issues.</p>
  
  <p>The problem is when they arrive on a sub-page of the website and the store has not been set previously by the user. This also impacts SEO.</p>
  
  <p>Question: How do I set the default store, without affecting the lightbox that is appearing on the home page.</p>
