Cookie Policy
Last updated: 9 April 2026
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. "Local storage" is a similar browser technology that stores data locally without sending it to servers on every request. We use both to keep our site working properly.
2. Our Cookie & Storage Inventory
Here is a complete list of cookies and local storage entries used on bfx-nutrition.com:
Essential (strictly necessary)
These are required for the site to function. They cannot be disabled without breaking core features.

- Advertising or tracking cookies (e.g., Meta Pixel, Google Ads)
- Social media tracking cookies

3. Third-Party Cookies
Shopify checkout
When you proceed to checkout, you are redirected to Shopify's hosted checkout page. Shopify may set its own cookies on their domain to process your order and payment. These cookies are governed by Shopify's cookie policy.
Google Fonts
We load fonts from Google Fonts to display our website typography. Google may log font requests but does not set tracking cookies through this service. See Google Fonts privacy information.
4. How to Manage Cookies
You can control cookies and local storage through your browser settings:
- Cookies: Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Check your browser's help section for instructions. Note that blocking essential cookies may prevent our site from working correctly.
- Local storage: You can clear local storage through your browser's developer tools (usually F12 > Application > Local Storage) or by clearing your browsing data.
- Our consent banner: If you clear the
bfx_cookie_consententry from local storage, our cookie banner will reappear on your next visit so you can update your preference.
5. Changes to This Policy
If we add new types of cookies (for example, analytics), we will update this policy and re-display our consent banner so you can make an informed choice. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
