This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how Penlab Peptide uses them on penlabpeptide.com, your choices regarding cookies, and where to find more information. By continuing to use this site you consent to our use of cookies as described below.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make sites work, remember preferences (language, currency), keep you signed in, and provide anonymous usage statistics. They do not contain personally identifiable information by themselves.
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for the site to function: session tokens that keep you logged in, the shopping-cart identifier, the CSRF protection token, and the language/currency selection cookie. They cannot be disabled in our settings because the site would not work without them. They expire either at the end of your session or 90 days after issue.
Analytics & performance cookies
We use Google Analytics (gtag, gid, ga) and Yandex.Metrica (Webvisor) to understand how visitors interact with the site so we can fix usability issues and prioritise the most useful features. These cookies record anonymous information such as page-views, time on site, country, device, and which pages you visited. They are stored for up to 2 years and you can opt out at any time using your browser settings, the Google Analytics opt-out add-on, or the Yandex anonymisation tool.
Functional cookies
We store small functional preferences in cookies / localStorage: your selected language (`plp_lang`), currency (`plp_currency`), the affiliate referral code that brought you here (`plp_ref`, 90-day window), and one-off banner-dismissal flags. These cookies make the site behave the way you expect on return visits.
Third-party cookies
Some pages embed third-party scripts that may set their own cookies: Stripe (for payment processing, set only on the checkout page), Google Analytics, Yandex.Metrica, and Cloudflare (security + bot-detection). We do NOT use cross-site advertising cookies or remarketing pixels.
Managing your cookies
You can clear or block cookies through your browser settings (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge all expose a "Cookies and site data" panel). Blocking strictly-necessary cookies will break login and checkout. You can also install the official browser add-ons: Google Analytics opt-out (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout) and Yandex Metrica blocker (https://yandex.com/support/metrica/general/opt-out.html).
