Cookie Policy

A cookie is a small data file stored on your device (computer, phone or tablet) when you visit a website. Cookies enable the site to function correctly, improve your experience and give us insight into how the site is used.

Cookies can be first-party cookies (placed by testix.co.uk) or third-party cookies (placed by external services). They can also be session cookies (deleted when the browser is closed) or persistent cookies (retained for a specified period).

Our cookies are grouped into four categories:

Strictly necessary cookies These are needed for basic functionality and cannot be disabled. They handle navigation, security and storage of your consent preferences, among other things.

• cookie_consent — stores your cookie preferences (1 year)
• session_id — maintains your active session (session)
• csrf_token — prevents CSRF attacks (session)

Functional cookies These allow the site to remember your settings, such as display preferences or dismissed information banners.

• user_preferences — stores your display preferences (6 months)
• recently_viewed — records recently viewed products (30 days)

Analytics cookies These help us analyse visitor patterns. All collected data is anonymised.

• _ga — Google Analytics, identifies unique visitors (2 years)
• _ga_HXK8NT4CZQ — Google Analytics, manages session state (2 years)
• _gid — Google Analytics, identifies unique visitors (24 hours)

Marketing cookies These cookies enable targeted advertising and measurement of campaign performance.

• _fbp — Meta/Facebook, evaluates ad performance (90 days)
• _gcl_au — Google Ads, tracks conversions (90 days)

On your first visit to testix.co.uk, a consent banner is displayed where you choose which categories of cookies you allow.

Strictly necessary cookies are always enabled because the site cannot function without them. Other categories (functional, analytics, marketing) require your explicit consent.

You can change your preferences at any time by clicking "Cookie Settings" at the bottom of the page or by contacting us.

The following external services may place cookies on your device:

• Google Analytics — visitor analysis that gives us insight into how the site is used. Data sharing is limited and IP addresses are anonymised. See Google's privacy policy at policies.google.com.
• Google Ads — advertising and conversion tracking.
• Meta (Facebook) — advertising and campaign performance measurement.
• Vercel — web hosting and performance optimisation.

These services may transfer data to countries outside the UK. Transfers are carried out with appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or an adequacy decision under UK GDPR.

You have several options for controlling how cookies are used:

Via our consent banner Select "Cookie Settings" in the footer to adjust which cookies you accept.

Via your browser settings You can block or delete cookies directly in your browser. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent the site from functioning as intended.

• Chrome — Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies
• Firefox — Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies
• Safari — Settings > Privacy > Cookies
• Edge — Settings > Cookies and Site Permissions

Do Not Track We respect the DNT signal from your browser. If DNT is enabled, we will not place analytics or marketing cookies.

Retention periods vary by cookie type:

• Session cookies — deleted automatically when the browser is closed
• Strictly necessary cookies — stored for up to 1 year
• Functional cookies — stored for up to 6 months
• Analytics cookies — stored for up to 2 years
• Marketing cookies — stored for up to 90 days

You can clear stored cookies at any time via your browser settings.

We may update this cookie policy, for example if we introduce new services or tools. In the event of significant changes, the consent banner will be displayed again so that you can review and update your preferences. The current version is always published on this page.
