In this policy, the term “cookies” also includes these similar technologies where appropriate.

They may be used for:

Shopping-cart functionality
Checkout functionality

Security
Language settings

Third parties may process information under their own privacy and cookie policies.

5. Legal Basis for Using Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies may be used without consent where they are required to provide a service requested by the visitor or to ensure the website functions securely.

Where legally required, Peptidera requests consent before using:

Analytics cookies
Advertising cookies
Marketing cookies
Non-essential personalization cookies
Other non-essential tracking technologies

Consent can be given, refused or withdrawn through the cookie settings on our website.

Refusing non-essential cookies should not prevent access to the basic website, although some optional features may not function fully.

6. Categories of Cookies We Use

6.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for essential website functions.

They may be used to:

Maintain the shopping cart
Remember the contents of the cart
Enable checkout
Maintain secure customer sessions
Prevent fraud and abuse
Process cookie-consent choices
Protect forms and account pages
Support load balancing and security

Because these cookies are necessary to provide the requested website or shopping service, they do not normally require consent.

Blocking these cookies through browser settings may cause parts of the website to stop working.

6.2 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices made by visitors.

They may be used to remember:

Selected language
Country or regional settings
Display preferences
Login preferences
Previously selected website options

Where functional cookies are not strictly necessary, they are only used after consent has been obtained where required by law.

6.3 Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the website.

Information may include:

Pages visited
Time spent on pages
Approximate location
Browser type
Device type
Operating system
Referring website
Website interactions
Technical errors
General website performance

Where analytics tools are enabled, non-essential analytics cookies are only placed after consent where legally required.

We use analytics information to improve:

Navigation
Website speed
Product-page performance
Checkout functionality
Content and usability

We aim to minimize or pseudonymize analytics information where reasonably possible.

6.4 Performance Cookies

Performance cookies may be used to improve website speed and technical operation.

They may assist with:

Page caching
Image optimization
Content delivery
Remembering performance settings
Identifying technical problems

Some performance technologies may be strictly necessary, while others require consent depending on their purpose and configuration.

6.5 Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies may be used to:

Measure the effectiveness of campaigns
Attribute visits or orders to a marketing source
Limit repeated advertisements
Create audience statistics
Support personalized advertising

Peptidera does not place non-essential marketing cookies before receiving valid consent where consent is legally required.

If marketing or advertising tools are not enabled, this category may remain inactive.

6.6 Security and Fraud-Prevention Cookies

Security cookies may help us:

Protect customer accounts
Detect suspicious activity
Prevent fraudulent transactions
Protect checkout forms
Limit malicious login attempts
Maintain website and payment security

Certain security cookies may be strictly necessary and may therefore be placed without consent.

Payment service providers may use their own security and fraud-prevention technologies when a payment method is selected.

7. E-Commerce Cookies

Our website uses WooCommerce and related website technology to provide online-store functionality.

Depending on how the website is used, e-commerce cookies may:

Determine when the shopping-cart contents change
Store an identifier for the current cart
Remember products added to the cart
Maintain the customer session
Support checkout
Prevent duplicate transactions

These cookies do not ordinarily store complete payment-card information.

Typical WooCommerce cookie names may include:

Cookie	Purpose	Typical duration
`woocommerce_cart_hash`	Detects changes to the shopping cart	Session
`woocommerce_items_in_cart`	Remembers whether the cart contains products	Session
`wp_woocommerce_session_*`	Assigns a customer session and stores cart-related information	Approximately 2 days
`woocommerce_recently_viewed`	Supports recently viewed products where enabled	Session

Exact names and durations may change following software or configuration updates.

8. WordPress Cookies

Our website is built using WordPress.

WordPress may use cookies to:

Maintain secure user sessions
Support customer or administrator login
Remember display or account settings
Protect the website against unauthorized access

Most WordPress login and administration cookies only apply to users who log in to an account or administer the website.

9. Language Cookies

Our website may use language or translation technology to remember:

The language selected by the visitor
The language version previously viewed
Regional display preferences

These cookies improve navigation between translated versions of the website.

Where the cookie is only used to remember a language explicitly selected by the visitor, it may be considered functional or necessary for the requested preference.

10. Cookie-Consent Cookies

When a cookie banner or consent tool is active, it may store the visitor’s choices.

These cookies may record:

Whether the banner has been displayed
Which cookie categories were accepted
Which categories were refused
When consent was provided
When consent should be requested again

Cookie-consent records are used to demonstrate and respect the visitor’s choices.

11. Payment-Provider Technologies

During checkout, a selected payment provider may use cookies or similar technologies for:

Payment authorization
Transaction security
Fraud prevention
Identity or account verification
Remembering the selected payment method

The exact technologies depend on the payment method and provider available during checkout.

Payment providers process information under their own privacy and cookie policies.

Peptidera does not use payment cookies to store complete card details on its own systems.

12. Shipping Technologies

Shipping integrations may process technical or order-related information to:

Display available delivery options
Select a delivery address or service point
Calculate shipping costs
Generate shipping labels
Provide tracking information

Where a shipping service uses non-essential cookies or external embedded content, consent will be requested where legally required.

13. Embedded Content

Pages may contain content supplied by an external website, such as:

Videos
Maps
Social-media content
External documents
Laboratory verification pages
Other interactive services

External content may allow the third party to place cookies or collect technical information.

Where required, external content that uses non-essential tracking will be blocked until consent has been provided.

Following a link to an external website is subject to that website’s own privacy and cookie policies.

14. Cookie Duration

Cookies may be:

Session cookies

Session cookies normally expire when the browser is closed.

Persistent cookies

Persistent cookies remain on the device for a defined period or until manually deleted.

The duration depends on the cookie’s purpose. Typical retention periods may range from:

The duration of the browser session
Several hours or days for shopping-cart functionality
Several months for preferences
Up to 12 or 24 months for certain consent or analytics settings

Where possible, we use the shortest retention period reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.

Exact durations may change when website services or settings are updated.

15. Cookie Banner and Consent Choices

When visiting the website, you may be presented with a cookie banner.

Depending on the tools in use, you may be able to:

Accept all cookies
Refuse non-essential cookies
Select individual cookie categories
Save your preferences
Withdraw previously provided consent

Strictly necessary cookies cannot normally be disabled through the consent tool because the website requires them to function.

The option to refuse non-essential cookies should be as accessible as the option to accept them.

16. Changing or Withdrawing Consent

You can change or withdraw your cookie consent at any time through the cookie-settings option available on the website.

Withdrawing consent does not make previous processing based on valid consent unlawful.

After consent is withdrawn, relevant non-essential cookies will no longer be intentionally placed. Existing cookies may remain on the device until they expire or are manually deleted.

17. Browser Settings

Most browsers allow you to:

View cookies
Delete cookies
Block all cookies
Block third-party cookies
Receive a warning before cookies are placed
Delete cookies automatically when the browser closes

Instructions are normally available in the browser’s privacy or security settings.

Blocking all cookies may prevent essential website functions from working correctly, including:

Shopping cart
Checkout
Account login
Language selection
Cookie-preference storage

18. Do Not Track and Browser Signals

Some browsers transmit “Do Not Track” or similar privacy signals.

There is currently no single universally applied standard for all such signals. Where technically supported and legally required, we aim to respect recognized consent and privacy preferences.

Visitors should also use the website’s cookie settings to manage their choices.

19. Personal Data Collected Through Cookies

Information collected through cookies may constitute personal data when it can identify or be linked to a person or device.

Such information may include:

IP address
Cookie identifier
Device identifier
Browser information
Website usage information
Consent choices
Approximate location
Referral source

Personal data collected through cookies is processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Where required, appropriate safeguards are used, such as:

A European Commission adequacy decision
Standard Contractual Clauses
Additional contractual, technical or organizational measures

Further information can be requested through the contact details below.
