What are cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of information stored on a computer, smartphone or other device when you visit a website.

They allow a website to recognise a browser or device and can be used to remember information about a visit, maintain a session, preserve shopping-cart contents or support other website functions.

Cookies may be temporary and expire when a browser session ends, or they may remain on a device for a defined period.

Cookies and similar technologies

The rules described in this policy may also apply to technologies other than traditional cookies where information is stored on or accessed from your device.

Depending on the technologies implemented on the website, these may include browser storage, pixels, scripts, tags and similar storage or access technologies.

We use the term “cookies” in parts of this policy for simplicity, but the same principles may apply to these related technologies.

Why we use cookies

Cookies and similar technologies may be used for several purposes across the Pro-Peptides website.

Strictly necessary cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are used where the technology is essential to provide functionality or a service that you have requested.

For an ecommerce website, this can include technologies necessary to remember products placed in a shopping cart, maintain secure sessions, operate checkout functionality or provide essential security.

These technologies may be used without asking for consent where the relevant legal exemption applies.

Functional cookies

Functional technologies may be used to remember choices or preferences and provide enhanced website functionality.

These technologies are not necessarily required for the fundamental operation of the website.

Where applicable law requires consent before these technologies are used, they will only be activated after the appropriate choice has been made.

Analytics and performance

We may use analytics or performance technologies to understand how the website is used and how effectively it performs.

These technologies can provide information such as pages visited, navigation patterns, device information, approximate traffic sources and website performance information.

Where consent is required, non-essential analytics technologies will only be used after the appropriate consent has been given.

Advertising and marketing technologies

Pro-Peptides may use advertising, attribution or marketing technologies if these services are enabled on the website.

Such technologies may be used to measure advertising effectiveness, understand where a visitor came from or support relevant advertising activity.

Marketing and behavioural tracking technologies will not be treated as strictly necessary merely because they are useful to our business.

Where consent is required, these technologies should remain disabled until valid consent is obtained.

WooCommerce and shopping functionality

Pro-Peptides uses WooCommerce to provide ecommerce functionality.

WooCommerce may use cookies or similar technologies to determine when cart contents change, maintain shopping-cart information and support the checkout process.

Technologies that are genuinely necessary to provide shopping-cart or checkout functionality requested by you may qualify as strictly necessary.

Third-party technologies

Certain website functions may involve services supplied by third parties, including payment, security, hosting, analytics, communications or other technology providers.

Some third-party providers may set or access their own cookies or similar technologies when their services are used.

Where a third-party technology requires consent, it should only be enabled after the relevant consent has been obtained.

Third parties may process information in accordance with their own privacy notices where they act as independent controllers.

Cookie consent

Where consent is required, we aim to provide a mechanism that allows you to make a clear choice before non-essential technologies are activated.

Consent must involve a positive action and should not be inferred merely because you continue browsing the website.

Where available, cookie controls should allow you to accept or reject non-essential technologies and subsequently change your preferences.

Managing cookie preferences

Where a cookie-preference mechanism is available on Pro-Peptides, you can use it to review or change your choices relating to non-essential technologies.

Most browsers also provide controls that allow cookies to be viewed, deleted or blocked.

Blocking all cookies through browser settings may prevent essential ecommerce functionality, including shopping carts, account sessions or checkout, from working correctly.

How long cookies remain

Cookie duration depends on the purpose and technology involved.

Session cookies normally expire when the relevant browsing session ends. Persistent cookies may remain for a defined period unless they are deleted sooner.

We aim to use retention periods that are proportionate to the purpose for which the technology is used.

Where third-party technologies are used, their duration may also depend on the provider's configuration and policies.

Changes to our use of cookies

The technologies used by the website may change as Pro-Peptides develops, services are updated or third-party providers change.

We may therefore update this Cookie Policy from time to time.

Where our use of non-essential technologies materially changes, we will review whether fresh consent or updated cookie choices are required.
