Cookie Policy

Cookies are small files containing a string of unique characters which are sent to your device when you visit a website. When you revisit the website, the cookie allows the site to recognise your browser. Cookies were designed as a convenience feature to save time and can store user preferences and other information. For example, if you personalise a page on our website (e.g. inputting data to your customer portal), a cookie helps us to recall your specific information (such as your weight or age) on subsequent visits. When you return, the information you provided can be retrieved, so you don’t have to input this information again.

Cookies set by DNAFit are called "first party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than DNAFit (such as Google Analytics) are called "third party cookies".

Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website. The third parties that set these cookies can recognise your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our websites to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies.

Cookies that are considered strictly necessary:

  • Cookies that remember the items in your shopping basket
  • Cookies which provide essential security measures
  • Cookies used for quick loading and distribution of content

Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance their experience on our website. For example, DNAFit keeps track of the pages people visit on our site, in order to determine what portion of the website is the most popular or most used. This data is used to deliver customised content and promotions.

Cookies that are considered not strictly necessary include:

  • Software to analyse visitors (e.g. Google Analytics)
  • Cookies which remember user preferences
  • First and third-party advertising cookies
  • Social media “like” buttons
