Cookie Policy

Home Cookie Policy

Effective Date: January 1, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how GLP1RatingsUS.com ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website at glp1ratingsus.com (the "Site"), what types of cookies we use, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides additional detail on how we collect and use your personal information.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used across the internet to make websites function properly, improve user experience, and provide information to website operators. Cookies allow a website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences, login status, and browsing behavior.

Cookies can be classified by their duration and origin. "Session cookies" are temporary and are automatically deleted from your device when you close your web browser. "Persistent cookies" remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them, and they are activated each time you revisit the website that created them. "First-party cookies" are set directly by the website you are visiting, while "third-party cookies" are set by a domain other than the one you are currently visiting, typically by external services integrated into the website such as analytics or advertising platforms.

In addition to cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs), which are tiny transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that help us track user activity, and local storage objects, which function similarly to cookies but can store larger amounts of data on your device.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies used on our Site into the following groups based on their purpose and function:

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the Site to function correctly. They enable core features such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and maintenance of your session as you browse between pages. Without these cookies, the Site cannot operate as intended, and certain features may become unavailable. These cookies do not collect any personally identifiable information for marketing purposes. Because they are essential to Site functionality, they cannot be disabled through our cookie preference settings.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our Site by collecting and reporting information about user behavior. These cookies gather data such as the number of visitors to the Site, which pages are visited most often, how long visitors spend on each page, which links are clicked, how users navigate between pages, and any error messages that may appear. All information collected by analytics cookies is aggregated and anonymized, meaning it cannot be used to identify individual visitors. We use this data to improve the performance, content, and structure of our Site.

We use Google Analytics as our primary analytics platform. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect standard internet log information and visitor behavior data. The information generated by the cookies about your use of the Site is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required by law or where third parties process the information on Google's behalf. You can learn more about Google's privacy practices by visiting the Google Privacy Policy page.

Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant to your interests. They work by uniquely identifying your browser and device and tracking your browsing activity across different websites over time. This information is used by advertising networks to build a profile of your interests and show you targeted advertisements on our Site and on other websites you visit. These cookies may also be used to limit the number of times you see a particular advertisement and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

We work with third-party advertising partners who may place cookies on your device when you visit our Site. These partners include affiliate networks and advertising platforms that help us monetize our content and connect users with GLP-1 weight loss program providers. The information collected through advertising cookies may be shared with these third parties in accordance with their respective privacy policies.

Functionality Cookies

Functionality cookies allow the Site to remember choices you have made in the past, such as your preferred language, region, or display settings. They provide enhanced and more personalized features during your browsing session. These cookies may also be used to remember changes you have made to customizable parts of the Site. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

4. How to Manage and Disable Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies (except for essential cookies that are necessary for the Site to function). You can manage your cookie preferences in several ways:

Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically configure your browser to accept all cookies, reject all cookies, or notify you when a cookie is being set so you can decide whether to accept or reject it on a case-by-case basis. Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may affect the functionality of our Site, and some features may not work as intended.

Below are instructions for managing cookies in the most commonly used browsers:

  • Google Chrome: Open Settings, navigate to Privacy and Security, click on Cookies and Other Site Data, and choose your preferred cookie setting. You can also clear existing cookies from the same menu by selecting Clear Browsing Data.
  • Mozilla Firefox: Open Settings, navigate to Privacy and Security, and under the Cookies and Site Data section, manage your cookie preferences. You can choose to block third-party cookies, block all cookies, or clear stored cookies and site data.
  • Microsoft Edge: Open Settings, navigate to Cookies and Site Permissions, then click on Manage and Delete Cookies and Site Data. From there you can choose to block third-party cookies, block all cookies, or clear existing cookie data.

Google Analytics Opt-Out

If you wish to prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits to our Site, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, which is available for most major browsers. This add-on instructs the Google Analytics JavaScript running on websites not to send any information to Google Analytics. You can download the add-on from the Google Analytics Opt-out page.

Advertising Opt-Out

You can opt out of personalized advertising from many advertising networks by visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance's opt-out page at optout.aboutads.info or the Network Advertising Initiative's opt-out page at optout.networkadvertising.org. These tools allow you to opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies. Please note that opting out does not mean you will stop seeing advertisements; it means the ads you see may be less relevant to your interests.

5. Third-Party Cookies

In addition to the cookies we set directly, third-party services integrated into our Site may also set cookies on your device. These third-party cookies are governed by the privacy and cookie policies of the respective third-party providers, not by this Cookie Policy. We do not have direct control over the information collected by third-party cookies.

The primary third-party services that may set cookies through our Site include Google Analytics for website traffic analysis and performance monitoring, Google AdSense and DoubleClick for advertising delivery and measurement, affiliate tracking platforms used by GLP-1 weight loss program providers featured on our Site, and social media platforms if you interact with social sharing features.

We encourage you to review the cookie and privacy policies of these third-party services to understand how they collect and use your data. We regularly review the third-party services we use and make efforts to ensure they comply with applicable data protection regulations.

6. Cookie Consent

When you first visit our Site, you will be presented with a cookie consent notice informing you about our use of cookies and asking for your consent to set non-essential cookies on your device. You can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customize your preferences by selecting which categories of cookies you wish to allow.

Your consent preferences are stored in a first-party cookie on your device so that the Site can remember your choices on subsequent visits. You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the Site, at which point the consent notice will be displayed again. Alternatively, you can manage cookies directly through your browser settings as described in Section 4 above.

Please note that if you choose to reject non-essential cookies, certain features of the Site may not function as intended, and your browsing experience may be affected. Essential cookies will continue to be used regardless of your consent preferences, as they are necessary for the basic operation of the Site.

7. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in our practices, or changes in applicable laws and regulations. When we make significant changes to this policy, we will update the "Effective Date" at the top of this page and may provide additional notice through a prominent announcement on our Site.

We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies. Your continued use of the Site after any changes to this Cookie Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.
