2. Cookies We Use
Strictly necessary. Required for the site to function. These cannot be switched off. They include your session, your shopping cart, checkout state, and the record of your age and research-use confirmation.
Functional. Remember preferences such as your region or previously viewed products.
Analytics. Help us understand how the site is used so we can improve it. We use Google Analytics, provided by Google, to understand how the site is used — which pages are visited, how people arrive, and where they run into trouble. It is configured to measure use of the site, not to identify you personally.
Marketing. We use the Google Ads conversion tag and the Meta pixel so that we can measure which advertising brings researchers to the site and, where permitted, show relevant advertising afterwards. Advertising in this product category is restricted on most major networks, so the campaigns we can run are limited.
Cookies currently set on this site: wordpress_* and wp-settings-* (WordPress — sign-in and admin preferences, session to one year); woocommerce_cart_hash, woocommerce_items_in_cart and wp_woocommerce_session_* (WooCommerce — keeps your basket and checkout working, session to two days); age gate confirmation (Age & Compliance Gate — records that you confirmed your age and research use, 30 days); Tidio chat cookies (Tidio — keeps a chat conversation together across pages, up to one year).
3. Your Choices
Because advertising and analytics cookies are in use, a consent banner is required for visitors in California and any territory with equivalent rules. You can also block or delete cookies at any time in your browser settings, though doing so may stop the basket and checkout working.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will stop the cart, checkout and age confirmation working, and the site will not be usable.
