This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies (like pixels, SDKs, local storage, and device IDs) on our health, fitness, and nutrition site(s). It also describes your choices, including how to manage cookies and how to opt out of certain data uses.
1) What are cookies & similar tech?
Cookies are small files placed on your browser or device. Pixels/SDKs are tiny snippets of code that help us measure usage, deliver features, and (where allowed) personalize ads. In the UK/EU/EEA/CH, most non-essential cookies require prior consent under PECR/ePrivacy and GDPR/UK GDPR.
2) How we use cookies (by category)
- Strictly necessary (essential): security, load balancing, consent storage, core features.
- Preferences: remember choices (e.g., language).
- Analytics & measurement: understand site performance and improve content.
- Advertising & measurement: deliver, cap frequency of, and measure ads; where permitted, personalize ads.
Important (EU/UK/CH): Online advertising/measurement cookies are not “strictly necessary” and need opt-in consent before use. We ask for your consent and honor your choices.
3) Our consent approach (EEA/UK/CH)
We use a consent banner and a Consent Management Platform (CMP) so you can accept, reject, or set granular choices. For Google ads/personalization in the EEA/UK/CH, we use a Google-certified CMP integrated with IAB TCF or an equivalent consent solution, and we only run non-essential cookies after consent. You can withdraw consent anytime via Manage Cookies.
4) U.S. state privacy rights (including California)
Some U.S. states give you rights to opt out of “sale”/“sharing”/targeted advertising. Use our “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link (footer) or a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal in supported browsers—we treat a valid GPC as a state-law opt-out.
5) Canada (PIPEDA)
We follow the requirement to obtain meaningful consent for the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information. Where cookies/pixels collect personal information, we provide clear purposes and your choices.
6) Australia (Privacy Act / APPs)
Australia has no cookie-specific statute, but the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) apply to personal information collected via cookies/pixels. OAIC guidance expects transparency, appropriate due diligence for third-party pixels, and simple opt-out from direct marketing.
7) Your choices
- Manage Cookies: Change or withdraw consent anytime via [Manage Cookies] (footer).
- Browser or device settings: You can block cookies or clear them; doing so may impact site functionality.
- Ad settings & industry tools: Use platform settings (e.g., Google Ad Settings) and region-specific tools.
- U.S. opt-out: Use [Do Not Sell or Share] (footer) or a GPC signal.
8) Third-party partners we use (examples)
- Advertising/measurement: Google AdSense/Ad Manager; where required, we request consent before any personalized ads in the EEA/UK/CH.
- Analytics: Google Analytics (or similar).
The CMP shows the current vendor list and purposes; vendors may change over time.
9) What we store and for how long
Cookie lifetimes vary by category and vendor. Our CMP lists current cookies, purposes, and lifetimes. We keep consent records as required and refresh consent periodically in line with platform and legal guidance.
10) Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy to reflect changes in tech, law, or our practices. We’ll post the new Effective date and, where appropriate, notify you on-site.
