Cookies

This page lists every cookie hplpeptides.ie sets and why. It is short because the site sets very little.

What a cookie is

A small file a site stores in your browser so it can recognise the same visitor between pages. Under the European Communities (Electronic Communications Networks and Services) (Privacy and Electronic Communications) Regulations 2011, a site must ask your consent before setting any cookie that is not strictly necessary for a service you asked for.

Strictly necessary cookies

These are set without asking, because the shop cannot work without them. They carry no advertising identifier and are not shared with anyone.

• Basket and session cookies — set by the shop so the items you add stay in your basket while you move around the site, and so checkout knows which basket is yours. They expire when you close your browser or shortly after.
• Login cookies — set only if you sign in to an account, so you stay signed in. They expire when you sign out.
• Security tokens — short-lived values that prove a form was submitted from this site, which is what stops other sites submitting forms on your behalf.
• Cookie preference cookie — set by CookieYes, the tool that runs the consent banner, so your choice is remembered and the banner does not ask again on every page.

We also use your browser's session storage to remember that you have already seen the entry screen and the page transition, so neither replays on every page. Session storage is cleared when you close the tab and is never sent to our server.

Anything optional

None currently. We set no analytics, advertising, tracking or social media cookies, and we do not embed anything that sets them on our behalf.

A consent banner (CookieYes) runs on this site so that if that changes, anything beyond what is listed above is asked for before it is set, rather than set first and explained after. Use the cookie settings control the banner adds to the page to review or change your choice at any time.

How to refuse them

Every browser lets you block or delete cookies in its settings. Because the cookies above are the ones that carry your basket and your sign-in, blocking them will stop the shop working — you will not be able to keep items in a basket or complete an order. Browsing and reading certificates will still work.
