This Cookie Policy explains how PepMedix uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website. We believe in being transparent about how we collect and process data related to your interaction with our online platform.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files containing a string of alphanumeric characters that are downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognize your device, remember your preferences, and ensure the basic functionality of our e-commerce platform (such as keeping items in your shopping cart).

2. How We Use Cookies

PepMedix utilizes cookies to optimize your browsing experience, secure our checkout pipeline, and analyze our traffic. We categorize the cookies we use into four primary groups:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are essential for the website to function properly. Without these cookies, basic services like user login, secure payment processing, and shopping cart persistence cannot be provided.

• Performance & Analytics Cookies: These cookies collect anonymous data about how researchers interact with our site—such as which product categories are visited most frequently and if error messages occur. This data helps us improve our site’s user experience and navigation.

• Functional Cookies: These allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred layout views or region) to provide enhanced, personalized features.

• Security Cookies: Crucial for a secure research supply site, these cookies help identify and prevent security risks, fraudulent login attempts, and malicious activity on our server.

3. Third-Party Cookies We Employ

In addition to our first-party cookies, PepMedix partners with trusted third-party service providers to optimize our platform. These may include:

• E-Commerce & Payment Processors: To securely validate your banking details and process transactions through encrypted gateways without storing sensitive data on our servers.

• Analytics Providers (e.g., Google Analytics): To help us understand web traffic patterns and maintain inventory levels based on high-demand research compound categories.

4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have the absolute right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can manage your preferences through the following channels:

• Our Cookie Banner: Upon your first visit to PepMedix, a banner will appear allowing you to custom-configure your cookie settings (Accept All, Reject Non-Essential, or Customize).

• Browser Controls: You can configure or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject strictly necessary cookies, you may still browse our catalog, but you will not be able to add items to your cart or finalize a purchase.

5. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect modifications to the technologies we use or to align with updated legal and regulatory compliance standards. Any changes will become effective immediately upon posting the revised policy on this page.
