Who We Are
My name is Zsolt Szabo, and I am the data controller responsible for this website. I also publish content on this site under the name George. The website address is https://workoutsupplements.co.uk.
WorkoutSupplements.co.uk is an independent review and information website providing guides and reviews about sports and fitness supplements available to UK consumers. If you have any questions about this privacy policy or how your personal data is handled, please use the Contact page to get in touch.
What Data We Collect and Why
Comments
If you choose to leave a comment on this website, we collect the information you enter in the comment form — your name, email address, website URL if provided, and the content of your comment. We also collect your IP address and browser user agent string to assist with spam detection.
Your email address is used to generate an anonymised string that may be shared with the Gravatar service to check whether you have a profile picture associated with your email. This image, if one exists, is displayed publicly alongside your approved comment. Gravatar is operated by Automattic — their privacy policy is available at automattic.com/privacy.
The lawful basis for processing this data is legitimate interests — specifically, enabling meaningful interaction on the site and preventing spam.
Contact Form Submissions
If you send a message through the Contact page, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message. This information is used solely to respond to your enquiry and is not stored beyond the period necessary to handle your request.
The lawful basis for processing this data is legitimate interests — specifically, responding to direct communications from site visitors.
Analytics Data
This website uses Google Analytics, accessed through Google Site Kit, to collect anonymised data about how visitors use the site. This includes information such as pages visited, time spent on the site, approximate geographic location, device type, and traffic source. This data is aggregated and anonymised — it does not identify you personally.
Google Analytics sets cookies on your device to enable this tracking. You can learn more about how Google uses this data by visiting Google’s Privacy Policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
The lawful basis for processing this data is legitimate interests — specifically, understanding how the site is used in order to improve its content and user experience.
Google Search Console
This website is connected to Google Search Console, which provides data about how the site appears in Google search results, including which search queries lead visitors to the site. This tool does not collect personal data about individual visitors.
Cookies
This website uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — for the following purposes:
WordPress functional cookies are set automatically by the WordPress platform to manage basic site functionality. These are essential for the site to operate correctly and do not collect personal data for tracking or advertising purposes.
Google Analytics cookies are set by Google to collect anonymised usage data as described above. These include the _ga and _gid cookies, which help distinguish unique visitors and track session information.
Google AdSense cookies, including the DoubleClick cookie, are used to serve relevant advertisements to visitors based on their browsing behaviour on this and other websites. Users in the UK may be shown a consent banner allowing them to accept or decline personalised advertising. You can manage your personalised advertising preferences at Google Ad Settings.
Amazon affiliate tracking cookies are placed by Amazon when you click an outbound affiliate link on this site. These cookies enable Amazon to attribute any resulting purchase to this site for commission purposes. They do not collect personal data on behalf of this website.
You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of this and other websites. For more information about cookies and how to manage them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.
Advertising
This website uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google AdSense is provided by Google LLC and uses cookies to show ads that may be relevant to you based on your browsing history on this and other websites.
Users in the United Kingdom may be shown a consent banner when first visiting the site, allowing them to accept or decline personalised advertising. If you decline personalised ads, you may still see non-personalised advertisements.
You can opt out of personalised advertising at any time by visiting Google Ad Settings or by using the NAI opt-out tool.
Affiliate Links
WorkoutSupplements.co.uk is a participant in the Amazon Associates Programme, an affiliate advertising programme designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by linking to Amazon.co.uk.
Some links on this website are affiliate links. If you click one of these links and make a purchase, I may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate tracking cookies may be placed on your device by Amazon when you click these links.
The inclusion of affiliate links does not influence editorial decisions. Products are reviewed and recommended based on research, customer feedback, and honest assessment — not on commercial relationships.
Embedded Content
Articles on this site may include embedded content such as videos or images sourced from third-party platforms. Embedded content behaves in the same way as if you had visited the external website directly. These third-party websites may collect data about you, set cookies, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content. Their own privacy policies govern how they handle your data.
Who We Share Your Data With
Personal data collected through this website is not sold to any third party under any circumstances.
Data may be shared with trusted third-party service providers only where strictly necessary for the operation of this website, including website hosting and infrastructure, spam prevention services, analytics platforms, advertising delivery networks, and affiliate tracking services.
Where third-party providers process data, I ensure appropriate safeguards are in place in line with UK GDPR requirements. Some providers may be based outside the United Kingdom or European Economic Area. Where this is the case, appropriate safeguards — such as standard contractual clauses approved by the UK Information Commissioner’s Office — are used to ensure your data is protected in accordance with UK GDPR requirements.
How Long We Retain Your Data
Comments and their associated metadata are retained indefinitely to enable automatic recognition and approval of follow-up comments from the same user. You may request deletion of your comment data at any time — see Your Rights below.
Contact form submissions are retained only for as long as necessary to respond to your enquiry, after which they are deleted.
Analytics data collected through Google Analytics is retained in accordance with Google’s standard data retention settings, which can be reviewed in Google’s Privacy Policy.
