Cookie Policy
Cookies are small text files that a website saves on your device to make it work, remember your choices and understand how it is used. Similar technologies (such as the browser's localStorage and sessionStorage) can store comparable information; in this policy we refer to all of them as “cookies”.
Gymchemy uses only the cookies strictly necessary to run the store plus, exclusively with your consent, marketing cookies. No marketing or measurement cookie is set before you give consent through the cookie banner.
You can accept, reject or customise your choices at any time — see “How to manage or withdraw consent” below.
Cookie categories we use
Necessary cookies. Required for core functions: storing your consent choice, keeping the cart and checkout working and preventing payment fraud. They cannot be switched off and do not require consent.
Marketing cookies. Set by Meta only after you opt in. They let us measure the performance of our campaigns and show relevant Gymchemy drops. Off by default.

How to manage or withdraw consent
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time — it is as easy to withdraw as it was to give. Use the link in the site footer to reopen the preferences panel. Turning off marketing immediately stops the Meta Pixel from loading; necessary cookies always stay on.
Other ways to control cookies
Most browsers also let you block or delete cookies from their settings. Removing necessary cookies may stop parts of the store (cart, checkout) from working correctly.
