Optimum Biotech UK Cookie Policy
This document sets out how optimumbiotech.uk, the official UK website for Optimum Biotech products, makes use of cookies and other comparable technologies. It is intended to be read in conjunction with our privacy policy. The policy is aligned with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR). It was most recently revised in May 2026.
Understanding Cookies
A cookie is a small text file that a browser stores on your device when you visit a website. These files are used widely across the internet to help sites operate properly, recall user preferences and give website operators insight into how their pages are being used. In themselves, cookies do not hold personal details such as your name or financial information, although they may be associated with information you choose to enter while browsing a site.
The Way We Use Cookies
Cookies on optimumbiotech.uk fall into three categories: those that are strictly necessary, those that are functional, and those that are analytical. We do not employ cookies for advertising, nor do we permit any third-party marketing trackers on this site.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies are fundamental to the basic operation of the website. They support core capabilities such as moving between pages, maintaining your shopping basket, progressing through the checkout and processing payments securely. Disabling these cookies would prevent the site from functioning as intended. Because they do not collect personal data for marketing purposes, your consent is not required under PECR for these cookies to operate.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies are used to remember choices you have made so that your experience is more convenient when you return. On optimumbiotech.uk these cover items such as keeping basket contents between visits and storing your selected currency and language. Cookies in this group do not follow your activity on other websites.
Analytical Cookies
Analytical cookies provide insight into how visitors interact with optimumbiotech.uk. The data they collect is anonymised and covers things such as which pages are viewed, how long people stay on the site and how they arrived. We use this aggregated information to make improvements to the website and its content. These cookies do not identify you as an individual, and you can opt out of them at any time by adjusting your browser settings.
Cookies Set by WooCommerce
Since optimumbiotech.uk is powered by WooCommerce, the platform places a number of cookies automatically to facilitate the shopping experience. These include cookies that hold your basket items, manage session data during the checkout process and record your cookie consent choice. All of these fall under the strictly necessary category and are required for the website to operate correctly.
Third-Party Cookies
We do not use advertising cookies belonging to third parties on optimumbiotech.uk. No cookies are placed on our behalf by advertising networks, social media services or affiliate schemes. If you click a link that takes you to an external website, the website you land on may place its own cookies on your device. We have no control over cookies set by third parties and recommend reviewing the cookie policy of any external site you choose to visit.
Managing Your Cookie Settings
You have full control over cookies through your browser settings, where they can be restricted, deleted or blocked entirely. The exact method varies between browsers. Below are pointers for the most widely used ones.
For Google Chrome, head to support.google.com/chrome and search for cookie controls. For Mozilla Firefox, visit support.mozilla.org and look up cookies. For Safari on an iPhone or iPad, open Settings, then Safari, and adjust the cookie options under Privacy and Security. For Microsoft Edge, go to support.microsoft.com and search for cookie management.
It is worth bearing in mind that blocking or removing strictly necessary cookies will impair the way optimumbiotech.uk works, including your ability to use the basket and complete a purchase.

By choosing to continue browsing, you give your consent to the use of strictly necessary and functional cookies in the manner outlined in this document.
