This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how naturalboosterreview.com uses them, and what choices you have regarding their use. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?

Similar technologies — including web beacons, pixel tags, local storage, and browser fingerprinting — may also be used and are covered by this policy.

6. Impact of Disabling Cookies
Disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect core website functionality. Disabling analytics cookies will not prevent you from browsing our content but will mean we cannot analyse how visitors use the site to improve it. Disabling affiliate tracking cookies means that if you choose to purchase through a link on our site, we may not receive credit for the referral — however, this has no effect on your purchase or the price you pay.
7. Country-Specific Provisions
🇪🇺 European Union & EEA (including 🇳🇴 Norway, 🇸🇪 Sweden, 🇫🇮 Finland, 🇩🇰 Denmark)
Under the EU ePrivacy Directive (implemented locally as the "Cookie Law" in each member state) and the GDPR, we are required to obtain your prior consent before placing any non-essential cookies on your device. Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent. When you first visit our site, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner allowing granular choices. You may withdraw consent at any time by adjusting your preferences via the cookie settings link in our footer.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom
UK law requires consent for non-essential cookies under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), as interpreted alongside the UK GDPR. The ICO has published guidance that consent must be freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous. Our cookie consent mechanism is designed to meet this standard. You can withdraw consent at any time.
🇺🇸 United States — California
California residents may have rights under the CCPA/CPRA regarding cookies that constitute the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. Our analytics and affiliate cookies may qualify under the CPRA's definition of "sharing" for cross-context behavioural advertising purposes. You have the right to opt out by contacting us at contact@naturalboosterreview.com or by using the browser-level and industry opt-out tools listed above.
🇨🇦 Canada
Under PIPEDA and provincial privacy legislation, implied consent may be acceptable for analytics cookies, provided that users are clearly informed and an opt-out mechanism is available. Our cookie policy and consent banner are designed to meet this standard. Quebec residents should note that Law 25 (Act to modernise legislative provisions as regards the protection of personal information) may impose stricter consent requirements — we treat Quebec residents consistently with EU consent standards.
🇦🇺 Australia & 🇳🇿 New Zealand
The Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles do not require explicit cookie consent in the same manner as the EU ePrivacy Directive; however, we are required to disclose our data collection practices clearly. This Cookie Policy serves that purpose. For New Zealand, the Privacy Act 2020 applies similar transparency obligations. Regardless of jurisdiction, we recommend using the opt-out tools above if you prefer to limit tracking.
