Cookie Policy

Last updated: 15 October 2026

This policy explains how OWSA Labs uses cookies and similar technologies on owsa-labs.com, and how you can control them. Please read it with our Privacy policy.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files a website saves in your browser. Sites can also keep small amounts of data in your browser’s local or session storage, or use small pieces of code (“tags” or “pixels”) that send details of your visit to a service. In this policy we call all of these “cookies”.

How we use them

  • Strictly necessary: needed for the site to work, for example to keep your basket, keep checkout secure and remember your choices. Always on.
  • Analytics: help us understand how the site is used. Only used if you choose “Accept all”, or switch analytics on in “Cookie settings”.
  • Marketing: help us measure our adverts, record how you found us, and credit partners who refer visitors to us (affiliate referral tracking). Only used if you choose “Accept all”, or switch marketing on in “Cookie settings”.

Until you make a choice, we don’t use analytics or marketing cookies. Google Analytics loads in Google Consent Mode, which keeps its analytics cookies off, and the other analytics and marketing tools don’t load. If you choose “Reject all”, we use strictly necessary cookies only.

When you first visit we also ask you to confirm our lab-use entry notice. That is a separate step: confirming it only saves your confirmation and doesn’t switch on analytics or marketing cookies.

If you accept marketing cookies, our server also sends Reddit details of page visits and orders (such as products, order value, IP address and browser type) so Reddit can measure our adverts. We don’t do this if you reject marketing cookies.

Content from other websites

Some pages show a badge from peptidesupermarket.co.uk and a rating image from peptidereview.co.uk. When they load, those sites receive your IP address and browser details, as with any web request. We didn’t see them set cookies; their own privacy policies apply.

Changing your choice

  • First visit: the banner lets you choose “Accept all”, “Reject all” or “Cookie settings”.
  • Any time: use “Cookie settings” at the bottom of every page to change or withdraw consent. Withdrawing is as easy as giving consent. When you withdraw, we stop using those cookies and delete the ones we set; you may need to clear any set by other companies in your browser settings.
  • In your browser: you can view, block and delete cookies. If you block strictly necessary cookies, the basket and checkout may not work.

Changes

We update this policy when we change the tools we use and change the date at the top. If we add new types of cookies, we’ll ask for your consent again.
