Last updated 7 September 2026. This policy explains which cookies primepeptides.uk sets, why, and how to control them. It sits alongside our privacy policy, which covers personal data more broadly.
What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file a website places on your device so it can recognise your browser between page loads or visits. Some are essential for a site to work at all; others exist only to track or profile visitors. This site uses the first kind and not the second.
Why you do not see a cookie banner
UK law – the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), read with the UK GDPR – requires consent for cookies except those strictly necessary to provide a service you have asked for. Every cookie this site sets falls within that exemption: they exist to keep your basket, complete checkout, or keep you signed in to an account you created. We set no analytics, advertising, social-media or profiling cookies, so there is nothing to ask consent for and no banner to dismiss.
Cookies this site sets
All of these are first-party cookies set by WordPress and WooCommerce, the software the shop runs on. The * stands for a site-specific identifier.
| Cookie | Set when | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
| wp_woocommerce_session_* | You add an item to your basket | Holds the basket contents and your progress through checkout | 2 days |
| woocommerce_cart_hash | You add an item to your basket | Lets the site notice the basket has changed and refresh it | Session |
| woocommerce_items_in_cart | You add an item to your basket | Records that the basket is not empty so cached pages show it correctly | Session |
| wordpress_test_cookie | You open the sign-in page | Checks that your browser accepts cookies before you sign in | Session |
| wordpress_sec_* and wordpress_logged_in_* | You sign in to your account | Keep you authenticated as you move between pages | Session, or 14 days if you tick “Remember me” |
| wp-settings-* and wp-settings-time-* | You sign in to your account | Remember display preferences inside your account area | 1 year |
If you never add anything to the basket and never sign in, the site sets no cookies at all.
What we do not set
- No analytics cookies (no Google Analytics or similar).
- No advertising or remarketing cookies, and no tracking pixels.
- No social-media embeds that set their own cookies.
- No third-party fonts or scripts – everything the page loads comes from this domain.
We do not sell or share browsing data. If we ever introduce a cookie that needs consent, this page will be updated first and a consent control added before it is set.
Cookies from payment providers
Orders are currently paid by bank transfer, which sets no cookies. If a card payment provider is added in future, the payment step may set the provider’s own fraud-prevention cookies; they will be listed here at that point.
Managing cookies in your browser
Every major browser lets you view, block and delete cookies. Blocking the strictly necessary cookies above will stop the basket and checkout from working.
