Cookie Policy
Last updated: October 4, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Biohack Blueprint ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit biohackblueprint.org. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your browser or device. Similar technologies, such as local storage, pixels, tags, and embedded-media scripts, can perform related functions. They can be used to keep a website working, remember preferences, measure how the site is used, and support other features.
How Biohack Blueprint uses cookies
Biohack Blueprint is built on Shopify. Shopify may place cookies that are necessary for the site to function and, depending on your location and privacy choices, cookies for analytics, preferences, or marketing-related purposes. We also use embedded video content on some pages and affiliate links to third-party websites.
We do not intentionally use third-party advertising pixels such as Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel, Hotjar, or Microsoft Clarity on Biohack Blueprint at the time of this update.
Cookie categories
1. Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies support core website functions such as security, session integrity, consent storage, localization, cart or checkout functions where applicable, and other functionality required to deliver the site. Because they are required for the service to work, they may be used without optional-cookie consent where permitted by law.
| Example cookie | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|
_shopify_essential |
Supports essential storefront, session, checkout, and anti-tampering functions. | Up to 1 year |
_shopify_test |
Checks whether the browser can use cookies. | About 1 minute |

localization |

2. Analytics and performance cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use the site, including how a session began, which pages are visited, and general site-performance patterns. Where consent is required, these cookies are used only after the required choice has been made. In some jurisdictions, limited first-party statistical cookies may be permitted subject to transparency and an easy way to object.
| Example cookie | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|
_landing_page |
Records the landing page used to enter the site. | Up to 2 weeks |
_orig_referrer |
Helps identify the source that referred a visitor to the site. | Up to 2 weeks |

_shopify_s |

_shopify_y |

3. Preference cookies
Preference technologies can remember choices such as language, country, or other display preferences. Availability and use depend on the Shopify storefront configuration and your location.
4. Marketing-related cookies
Shopify supports a marketing consent category and may use marketing-related cookies when a merchant enables features that require them and the applicable privacy settings allow them. Biohack Blueprint does not currently use third-party behavioural advertising pixels on the site. If we add advertising or retargeting technology in the future, we will update this policy and our consent settings before using it where required.
Embedded video: YouTube and Vimeo
Some Biohack Blueprint pages contain video content hosted by YouTube or Vimeo. Our theme is designed to load certain video embeds only after you interact with them. When a third-party video is loaded or played, that provider may receive technical information and may place cookies or use similar technologies under its own privacy terms.
You can review the providers' privacy information at Google/YouTube Privacy Policy and Vimeo Privacy Policy.
Affiliate links
Biohack Blueprint uses affiliate links, including links to DoNotAge. Clicking an affiliate link takes you to a third-party website. That third party may then use cookies or similar technologies on its own domain to attribute a referral, remember a discount or campaign source, process an order, or measure performance. Those third-party cookies are controlled by the destination website, not by Biohack Blueprint.
Our affiliate relationship is explained in our Affiliate Disclosure and Partnership.
Shopify and cookies
Because our site is hosted on Shopify, Shopify provides the core storefront infrastructure and privacy controls. Shopify's current merchant-storefront cookie list includes essential, analytics, marketing, and preference cookies. Cookie names and durations can change as Shopify updates its platform.
For Shopify's current list, see the Shopify Cookie Policy. You can also review the Shopify Consumer Privacy information.
Your cookie choices
Where our cookie banner is displayed, you can use it to accept or reject optional cookies and to manage your preferences. Strictly necessary cookies remain available because the site cannot operate correctly without them.
You can change your choices later using the cookie-preferences control provided by Shopify where available. You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings, although doing so may affect site functionality.
US privacy choices and Global Privacy Control
Visitors in certain US states may have additional rights to opt out of certain data sharing or targeted-advertising activities. Where applicable, Shopify can provide a data-sharing opt-out mechanism and recognize Global Privacy Control signals. You can review the store's Your Privacy Choices page for available controls.
UK and other consent-based regions
For visitors in regions where consent is required for optional storage or access technologies, we use Shopify's customer-privacy controls to apply those choices to Shopify-managed cookies and pixels. We aim to ensure that optional technologies are not used before the required consent has been obtained.
How long cookies last
Some cookies last only for the current browsing session. Others remain for a defined period so that the site can remember preferences or measure activity over time. Typical durations are shown above, but Shopify or third-party providers may update them.
Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this policy when our website, Shopify configuration, analytics setup, embedded services, or legal obligations change. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last updated.
