Cookie policy
Last updated: 20 May 2026.
Overview
PeptideClear uses a small number of cookies for analytics and site performance. We do not set advertising cookies. We do not use third-party tracking pixels or share browsing data with advertisers.
Analytics cookies (Google Analytics 4) are gated behind Consent Mode v2 and are default-denied. They are only set after you accept cookies via the consent banner. Cloudflare performance cookies are functional and do not require consent under the ICO's guidance on strictly necessary cookies.
Cookies we set
| Cookie name | Purpose | Duration | Category |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics 4. Distinguishes unique users. Contains a randomly generated identifier. | 2 years | Analytics (consent-gated) |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics 4. Persists session state for the specific GA4 property. | 2 years | Analytics (consent-gated) |
| cookie_consent | Stores your consent choice (accepted or declined) so the banner does not reappear on every page. | 1 year | Functional (strictly necessary) |
| __cf_bm | Cloudflare Bot Management. Distinguishes automated traffic from genuine users to protect site performance and security. | 30 minutes | Functional (strictly necessary) |
| _cfuvid | Cloudflare rate-limiting. Used to manage request rates and protect against denial-of-service attacks. | Session | Functional (strictly necessary) |
What we do not use
- · No advertising or retargeting cookies.
- · No third-party tracking pixels (Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn, etc.).
- · No cross-site tracking or data sharing with ad networks.
- · No session-recording tools that capture form input.
Microsoft Clarity is active on this site for anonymised heatmap and session analytics. Clarity does not use advertising cookies and does not share data with Microsoft's ad network. Its cookies are consent-gated in the same way as GA4.
How to control cookies
You have two ways to manage analytics cookies on PeptideClear:
- · Decline via the consent banner. When you first visit the site, the consent banner appears. If you select "Decline", analytics cookies (GA4, Clarity) are not set. Cloudflare functional cookies are still set as they are strictly necessary for the site to work.
- · Browser settings. You can block or delete cookies at any time via your browser settings. See your browser's help pages: Chrome, Firefox, Safari.
If you delete cookies after accepting, the consent banner will reappear on your next visit.
