Our cookies policy
Our website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of our website. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our website and also allows us to improve our site.
A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that we store on your browser or the hard drive of your computer only if you provide your explicit consent, unless the cookie is strictly necessary for the operation of the website. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer's hard drive.
We use the categories of cookies set out below. A detailed up-to-date list of actual cookies in use in each category including any third-party cookies and their specific expiry periods and the option to accept or reject them can be viewed in our Cookie Preferences centre.
When you first visit our website, or when we make changes to the cookies we use, you will be presented with a clear cookie banner that allows you to make your choices regarding cookie usage. No non-essential cookies will be set on your device before you have made your choice.
Cookies used on this site include:
What are cookies
Cookies are tiny text files stored on your computer when you visit certain web pages. At Medik8.com we use cookies to keep track of what you have in your basket, and to remember you when you return to our site.
Cookies may be either "persistent" cookies or "session" cookies: a persistent cookie will be stored by a web browser and will remain valid until its set expiry date, unless deleted by the user before the expiry date; a session cookie, on the other hand, will expire at the end of the user session, when the web browser is closed.
Our cookies do not store sensitive information such as your name, address or payment details: they simply hold the 'key' that, once you're signed in, is associated with this information. Cookies can't harm your computer.
Strictly Necessary Cookies. These cookies are essential for the operation of our website and enable core functionalities. They are always enabled because our website cannot function properly without them. For example, they include cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our website, remember items in your shopping cart, or ensure the security of e-billing services. You can switch these cookies off in your browser settings, but please be aware that this may prevent you from accessing all or parts of our website. For specific strictly necessary cookie expiry periods visit Cookie Settings within Cookie Preferences and look for ‘duration’.
Targeting Cookies. These cookies record your visit to our website, the pages you have visited, and the links you have followed. We use this information to make our website and the advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose so that they can serve you with relevant advertising on their websites. For instance, we use Google Adwords remarketing service. Information about how you can opt out of Google's use of cookies can be seen by visiting Google's Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt out page. These cookies will only be set if you give your explicit consent. For specific targeting cookie expiry periods visit Cookie Settings within Cookie Preferences and look for ‘duration’.
Functional Cookies. These are used to recognise you when you return to our website. This enables us to personalise our content for you, greet you by name, and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region). These cookies will only be set if you give your explicit consent. For specific functional cookie expiry periods visit Cookie Settings within Cookie Preferences and look for ‘duration’.
Performance Cookies. These allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily. These cookies will only be set if you give your explicit consent. For specific performance cookie expiry periods visit Cookie Settings within Cookie Preferences and look for ‘duration’.
