Cookie Policy

Effective Date: April 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Healius Peptides uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on healiuspeptides.com (the “Website”). It supplements and forms part of our privacy policy. By continuing to use the Website, or by clicking “Accept” on the cookie consent banner, you agree to the use of cookies as described below. Where required by law, your prior consent is obtained before any non-essential cookies are placed on your device.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognize your device, remember preferences, and collect information about how you interact with the site. Healius Peptides also uses similar technologies, including web beacons, pixels, tags, local storage, and software development kits, all of which are referred to in this Policy as “cookies”.

2. Categories of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Website to function. They enable core actions such as keeping you logged in to your account, holding items in your shopping basket, processing checkout, applying voucher codes, and protecting against fraud. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be turned off because the Website cannot operate without them. They are exempt from consent requirements under UK and EU ePrivacy law.

Examples include: WooCommerce session cookies (woocommerce_cart_hash, woocommerce_items_in_cart, wp_woocommerce_session_xxx), authentication cookies (wordpress_logged_in, wordpress_sec), CSRF protection tokens, and the cookie consent record itself (cookie_consent).

Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies help Healius Peptides understand how visitors interact with the Website so we can measure traffic, diagnose performance issues, and improve user experience. They do not directly identify you.

Cookies set in this category include Google Analytics 4 (_ga, _ga_xxxxxx, _gid, _gat), which record pageviews, sessions, and event interactions. Hotjar (_hjSession, _hjSessionUser, _hjAbsoluteSessionInProgress), which records anonymized heatmaps and session recordings to identify usability issues. Microsoft Clarity (_clck, _clsk), which provides additional behavioral analytics.

Functional Cookies

These cookies remember your choices to deliver a more personalized experience. Examples include language preferences, currency selection (USD, GBP, EUR, AUD, NZD, CAD), recently viewed products, and saved shipping addresses. Functional cookies are placed only with your consent.

Marketing and Advertising Cookies

These cookies track your browsing across websites to deliver relevant advertising and measure the performance of advertising campaigns. They are placed only with your consent and may share data with third-party advertising networks.

Cookies set in this category include: Meta (Facebook and Instagram) Pixel (_fbp, fr) for retargeting and ad attribution. TikTok Pixel (_ttp, ttwid) for retargeting and ad attribution. Google Ads conversion tracking and remarketing tags (NID, IDE, _gcl_au). Reddit Pixel (rdt_uuid) for retargeting and ad attribution. Pinterest Tag (_pinterest_ct_ua) where applicable.

3. First-Party vs Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by healiuspeptides.com. External services set third-party cookies we use (such as Google, Meta, TikTok, Hotjar, Microsoft Clarity, and our payment processors). Each third-party operates under its own privacy and cookie policies. Links to the relevant policies are listed in Section 7.

4. How to Manage Your Cookie Preferences

On the Website

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time using the cookie consent banner that appears on your first visit, or by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link in the Website footer to reopen the preferences panel. You may accept all cookies, reject all non-essential cookies, or choose individual categories.

In Your Browser

All major browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies, and to block cookies from being set in the future. Browser-specific instructions are available from each browser vendor: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Microsoft Edge, Opera, and Brave. Be aware that blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent core Website features from working, including checkout.

Industry Opt-Out Tools

You can opt out of personalized advertising from many advertising networks via the Digital Advertising Alliance (optout.aboutads.info), the Network Advertising Initiative (optout.networkadvertising.org), and the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (youronlinechoices.eu). Opting out at the network level reduces personalized advertising across many websites, not just healiuspeptides.com.

5. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. There is currently no industry-wide standard for how websites should respond to DNT, and Healius Peptides does not respond to DNT signals at this time. Use the cookie consent banner to set your preferences for the Website.

6. Cookie Retention Periods

Cookies have one of two lifespans:

Session cookies expire when you close your browser. They include most authentication, basket, and CSRF tokens.

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them. Persistent cookies set by Healius Peptides typically expire within 13 months. Third-party cookies have retention periods set by each provider, ranging from a few hours to 24 months.

7. Third-Party Privacy Policies

Where third-party cookies are set, their use is governed by the third party. Their full privacy and cookie policies are available at:

Google (Analytics and Ads): policies.google.com/privacy

Meta (Facebook and Instagram): facebook.com/privacy/policy

TikTok: tiktok.com/legal/privacy-policy

Hotjar: hotjar.com/legal/policies/privacy

8. Your Rights Under UK and EU Data Protection Law

Where cookies process personal data, you have the rights described in the privacy policy, including the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection. You may withdraw your consent to non-essential cookies at any time by reopening the cookie consent banner or clearing cookies in your browser. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

9. Children

The Website is intended for individuals aged 18 or older. Healius Peptides does not knowingly place cookies on devices belonging to children under 18 except where those cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the page they have requested.

10. Changes to This Cookie Policy

Healius Peptides may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies used, in technology, or in legal requirements. The revised version will be posted on this page with a new Effective Date. Material changes will trigger a fresh prompt on the cookie consent banner.
