Cookie Policy

Cookies We Use

We keep our use of cookies and similar technologies to a minimum. We do not use:

• Advertising cookies
• Cross-site or social media tracking cookies
• Remarketing or retargeting cookies

We do use the following:

• Analytics cookies (Clicky). Our third-party analytics service, Clicky (provided by Roxr Software Ltd), may set first-party cookies to recognize returning visitors and measure how the site is used. See Clicky's privacy policy for details.
• Local storage (preferences). We use your browser's local storage to remember preferences, such as that you dismissed the newsletter subscribe bar, so it does not reappear on every page.

We also use Vercel Analytics, a privacy-respecting analytics service that does not use cookies and does not track individual users across websites.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit them. They are widely used to make websites work, improve functionality, and provide information to site operators. Cookies can be "first-party" (set by the site you are visiting) or "third-party" (set by another domain, such as an analytics or advertising service).

Categories of Cookies

Cookies are commonly grouped into the following categories. This helps explain where the analytics cookies described above fit, and what we would use if our approach changes:

Strictly Necessary Cookies

Essential for the website to function properly. These cannot be opted out of because the site would not work without them. Examples include session management and security tokens.

Functional Cookies

Used to remember your preferences and enhance your experience. Examples include remembering theme settings, language preferences, or tool inputs.

Analytics Cookies

Used to understand how visitors interact with the site. Our Clicky analytics service falls into this category and may set first-party cookies. The information collected is used to measure and improve site usage.

How to Opt Out

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies - consult your browser's help documentation for instructions. Clicky's own privacy policy describes how to opt out of its tracking. If we introduce additional non-essential cookies, we will update this policy first.

Local Storage and Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, websites can use other client-side storage technologies such as localStorage and sessionStorage. GlycolicAcid.com may use localStorage to save preferences related to interactive tools (such as calculator inputs or theme settings). This data stays on your device and is never sent to our servers.

Changes to This Policy

We will update this Cookie Policy if our use of cookies or similar technologies changes. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date.
