Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 27, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies Body Science Review ("we", "our", or "us") uses on bodysciencereview.com (the "Site"), why we use them, and how you can control them.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by a website. They are widely used to make websites work, improve user experience, and provide information to website owners. We also use localStorage — a similar browser-based storage mechanism — to save your preferences locally on your device.
What We Use
The table below lists every cookie and storage item in use on this Site. We keep this inventory up to date as our tooling changes.
Essential Storage
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration | Set by |
|---|---|---|---|---|
cookie-consent | localStorage | Stores your Accept / Decline choice from the cookie consent banner so we don't ask again on future visits. | Until you clear browser storage | Body Science Review |
This item is essential — without it we cannot remember your consent
choice. It contains no personal data; it stores only the strings "accepted"
or "declined".
Analytics — Cookieless
Our primary analytics tools are privacy-friendly and do not set any cookies or persistent identifiers on your device.
| Service | Cookies set? | Purpose | Privacy policy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Umami Analytics | None | Aggregated, anonymous page-view and traffic analytics. No personal data collected. | umami.is/privacy |
| Cloudflare Web Analytics | None | Aggregated performance and traffic data. No cookies or fingerprinting. | cloudflare.com/privacypolicy |
Analytics & Marketing — Consent Required
The following services are loaded only if you click "Accept All" on the cookie consent banner. If you click "Decline", these scripts are never loaded and no cookies are set.
| Name | Service | Type | Purpose | Duration | Privacy policy |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics (GA4) | Analytics | Distinguishes unique users for aggregated traffic reports. | 2 years | policies.google.com/privacy |
_ga_* | Google Analytics (GA4) | Analytics | Maintains session state for GA4 measurement. | 2 years | |
| Pinterest tag cookies | Marketing | Measures ad conversions and enables retargeting on Pinterest. Loaded via Pinterest Tag ID 2614098524157. | Up to 1 year | policy.pinterest.com |
Note: GA4 is currently not configured with a Measurement ID on this Site, so no GA4 cookies are set even if you accept. This table will be updated if GA4 is activated.
How to Manage Your Preferences
Our Consent Banner
When you first visit the Site, a cookie consent banner appears at the bottom of the page. You can click Accept All to enable analytics and marketing cookies, or Decline to allow only essential storage.
To change your choice, clear your browser's localStorage for this Site (instructions vary by browser — look for "Clear site data" or "Storage" in your browser's developer tools or privacy settings). On your next visit, the banner will appear again.
Browser Controls
You can also manage cookies directly through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies for specific sites. Note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of some websites. For instructions, visit your browser's help pages:
Opt-Out of Google Analytics
You can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to prevent data from being sent to Google Analytics across all websites.
Do Not Track
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. We currently do not alter our data collection in response to DNT signals, but you can use the consent banner or browser controls described above to limit tracking.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as our tools and legal obligations change. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
