What cookies we use, why we use them, and how you stay in control.
This page explains the cookies used on peptama.com, why we use them, and how you can accept or reject optional cookies through our consent banner.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device when you visit a website. Cookies allow the site to remember your actions and preferences — for example, what's in your shopping cart, whether you're signed in, or which language you prefer. Cookies do not contain personal information like your name or address.
Cookies we use
We use two categories of cookies on peptama.com:
Essential cookies
Required for the website to function. Cannot be disabled without breaking core features like the shopping cart and the age verification.
Analytics cookies
Help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. Only active if you accept them.

| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|

| _shopify_y | Session identifier | 1 year |
| peptama_age_ok | Records 18+ age confirmation | Session |

Your choice
Three ways to manage cookies
- Accept all — allows essential and analytics cookies for the best experience.
- Essential only — only the cookies needed to operate the site. The default if you don't choose.
- Manage cookies — click the link in the footer at any time to change your preference.
When you first visit, our consent banner asks for your choice. Your preference is stored in peptama_cookie_consent for 6 months. You can change it any time via the "Manage cookies" link in our footer.
Disabling cookies in your browser
You can also disable cookies directly in your browser settings — but the website may not function correctly without essential cookies (the cart, age verification, and checkout will not work).
