Thank you for viewing our Privacy Policy page. Privacy is an increasingly important topic and it is one TestoChecker® will continue to invest resources in as we head into 2023.
On this page we discuss the following topics;
- Website User Privacy
- Website User Data Storage
- Website User Data Disposal
What information does TestoChecker® collect & store?
While you visit our site, we’ll track:

- We also use cookies to keep track of cart contents but only while you’re browsing our website.
23.04.2024 Apology:
TestoChecker® has published a Website Cookie Policy, and wish to apologize for not having done so sooner. As we ourselves learned more about the function of ‘cookies’, it became apparent that (TestoChecker®) may have inadvertently utilized Cookie Data for marketing purposes via Google Analytics and less likely, META (site-tags). It is important to make clear that whilst data may have been collected, this data was never used for advertising purposes on Facebook, META. And whilst we have not ourselves utilised Google Ads Remarketing tools, we cannot rule out the possibility that use was made of this data by Google Ads when delivering advertising, on behalf of TestoChecker®.
