Cookie policy

1.The short answer

This site sets no cookies of its own: no session cookie, no basket cookie, no consent cookie, no analytics or advertising identifier. That is why there is no cookie banner, there is nothing to ask consent for. What the site does use is one entry in your browser’s localStorage for the basket, described below, and two third-party services whose behaviour this cookie policy also explains.

You can check this yourself. The storage panel in your browser’s developer tools lists cookies and localStorage per site; for peptideonline24.com it shows a single localStorage entry once you have added a product, and no cookie set by this site.

2.What cookies are, and why localStorage belongs here

Cookies are small text entries a website stores in your browser and that the browser sends back with every request to that site. localStorage is a different mechanism: a page can store and read values on your device, but nothing is sent automatically with requests. The rule that a site must tell you about information stored on your device comes from the ePrivacy Directive 2002/58/EC, and it covers every storage technique, not only cookies, which is why the basket gets its own section.

3.The basket in localStorage

When you press an order button anywhere in the shop, the product code and quantity are written to localStorage under the key po24_cart. That entry holds product codes and quantities only, no name, address or payment detail, and it stays on your device. It leaves the browser once: when you press the checkout button, the list is sent to our server to build the Stripe session.

The entry is strictly necessary for the service you asked for, a basket that survives moving between pages, and therefore needs no consent. After a completed order it is deleted automatically; the payment page describes what happens from that point on.

The request that builds the Stripe session goes to a small script on our own server. It sets no cookie either and keeps nothing beyond what it needs to hand the basket to Stripe.

4.Cookies set by others

Stripe Checkout runs on Stripe’s own domain. During checkout Stripe sets the cookies it needs for processing the payment and preventing fraud, under Stripe’s privacy policy, which is linked from the payment page. Those cookies belong to the Stripe page, not to this site, and they are set only once you have left for checkout.

The fonts are loaded from Google Fonts. Google receives the IP address of that request and states in its Fonts privacy FAQ that the Fonts API does not use cookies.

There are no analytics tools, no advertising pixels and no social-media buttons on this site. If that ever changes, this page changes first and a consent mechanism appears before the tool does.

5.How to clear or block it

• Clearing site data for peptideonline24.com in your browser settings removes the basket; the site starts a fresh one the next time you add a product;
• Blocking storage entirely leaves every page readable but the basket empty and the checkout button inactive;
• A private or incognito window discards the basket when you close it;
• Stripe’s cookies are cleared under stripe.com in the same browser settings.

Because nothing in the basket identifies you, clearing it has no effect on an order that is already paid: that order lives in our order records, not in your browser.

6.Data connection

Where any of this involves personal data, the IP address Google or Stripe sees, the order details Stripe passes to us, the privacy policy governs it, including your rights. The FAQ gives the short version of most questions on this page; anything else reaches us via the contact page.
