Cookie Policy
Last updated: 17 June 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Antiageherb.ddd ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on https://antiageherb.shop. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy. We comply with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) 2003 and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) where cookies involve personal data.
1. UK Legal Framework (Post-Brexit)
Since Brexit, the United Kingdom applies the UK GDPR alongside the Data Protection Act 2018 and PECR 2003. Cookie rules are set out in PECR; where cookies identify users, UK GDPR principles also apply. The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) is the UK regulator. We are registered with the ICO as a data controller (reference ZA892417) — see our Privacy Policy.
Under PECR, storing or accessing information on your device (cookies, pixels, localStorage) generally requires your consent unless the storage is strictly necessary to provide a service you have requested. Our cookie banner therefore offers a clear Reject option and Manage Preferences controls before any non-essential technology is used.

3. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, tablet or smartphone when you visit a website. Similar technologies include:
- localStorage and sessionStorage — browser storage used to remember your cookie consent choices.
- Web beacons / pixels — small graphics used in marketing or analytics to track page views or conversions.
- Embedded content — third-party services (such as Google Maps) may set their own cookies when loaded on our pages.
Cookies may be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (remain until they expire or you delete them).
4. Cookie Categories We Use
4.1 Strictly Necessary (always active — no consent required)
These technologies are essential for the website to function and to record your cookie consent. They cannot be disabled via our banner. Under PECR, they are exempt from the consent requirement because they are strictly necessary to provide the service you request.
- dietdiversity_cookie_consent (localStorage) — Type: first-party. Duration: until you clear browser data. Purpose: stores your cookie consent choices (Accept all, Reject or Manage Preferences) to comply with PECR and ICO guidance.
4.2 Analytics Cookies (requires your consent)
These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website (e.g. pages visited, time on site, traffic sources). They are only placed if you click Accept all or enable Analytics in Manage Preferences. We do not set analytics cookies before you consent.
- _ga — Provider: Google Analytics (if enabled). Type: third-party. Duration: up to 24 months. Purpose: distinguishes unique users.
- _gid — Provider: Google Analytics (if enabled). Type: third-party. Duration: 24 hours. Purpose: distinguishes users within a 24-hour period.
- _gat — Provider: Google Analytics (if enabled). Type: third-party. Duration: 1 minute. Purpose: throttles request rate.
Where Google Analytics is used, we configure it in line with ICO expectations, including IP anonymisation where available and data retention limits.
4.3 Marketing Cookies (requires your consent)
These cookies may be used to measure advertising effectiveness or deliver relevant content on partner platforms. They are only activated with your explicit consent.
- Marketing / remarketing pixels — Provider: varies by campaign. Type: third-party. Duration: up to 90 days. Purpose: track conversions and ad performance.
4.4 Third-Party Embedded Content
The following third-party services on our website may set cookies independently of our cookie banner. We recommend reviewing their policies:
- Google Maps (Contact page embed) — may set cookies such as NID, CONSENT and other Google identifiers. Provider privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy.
Loading embedded maps may involve transferring data outside the UK. See our Privacy Policy on international transfers.
5. How to Manage Cookies and Withdraw Consent
When you first visit our site, a cookie banner gives you equal, clearly labelled options in line with ICO guidance. You will always see a prominent Reject button and a Manage Preferences option alongside Accept all:
- Reject — refuses all non-essential cookies and similar technologies; only strictly necessary storage remains. Your access to the website is not restricted, and we do not use "cookie walls".
- Manage Preferences — open granular controls to switch Analytics and Marketing on or off individually. Strictly necessary technologies cannot be disabled.
- Accept all — enables strictly necessary, analytics and marketing technologies.
We do not use pre-ticked boxes for non-essential cookies. Consent must be freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous.
Changing your mind: you may withdraw or change consent at any time by:
- Clicking Manage Preferences in the website footer.
- Clearing cookies and site data for antiageherb.shop in your browser settings and revisiting the site.
- Using your browser's privacy settings to block third-party or all cookies.
