Cookies Policy

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They let the site recognize your browser, remember actions you have taken (such as items added to a cart), and keep you signed in as you move between pages. We also use similar technologies—such as local storage, pixels, and tags—that work in comparable ways. In this policy we refer to all of them as “cookies.”

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are required for the store to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They enable core features such as keeping your cart contents, maintaining your sign-in session, and completing checkout, as well as protecting the store against fraud and abuse. Because the store cannot operate correctly without them, they are set whenever you use the site and do not require consent.

Functional and preference cookies

These cookies help the store remember choices you make so it works better for you—for example, a saved delivery region, language or display preferences, or details that reduce repeated data entry on forms and quote requests. If you block these cookies, the store will still work, but some conveniences may not be available and certain preferences may not be remembered between visits.

Analytics cookies

Where you allow it, we use analytics cookies to understand how visitors find and use the store—such as which pages are viewed, how buyers move through the catalog and checkout, and where errors occur—so we can fix problems and improve the experience. This information is used in aggregate to measure and improve store performance. We do not send sensitive data such as credit-application details, tax identifiers, or private account pricing into general analytics platforms.

Advertising cookies

AFS Wholesale is a business-to-business supply store, and we do not run a targeted advertising program that tracks you across other websites. If we introduce advertising or remarketing cookies in the future, we will update this policy, describe them here, and—where required—ask for your consent and provide an opt-out before those cookies are used.

Your consent

Strictly necessary cookies are always active because the store cannot run without them. For non-essential cookies—such as analytics and, if introduced, advertising—we rely on your consent where the law requires it. In regions that require it, we present cookie choices through a consent management tool when you first visit, and you can change your decision at any time. Continuing to use the store where consent is not legally required does not enable non-essential cookies beyond what this policy describes.

How to manage your cookie choices

You can review and change your cookie choices in two ways:

• Cookie controls on the store — where a consent management tool is shown, you can accept or decline non-essential cookies and revisit your preferences later.
• Your browser settings — most browsers let you block or delete cookies, block third-party cookies, or alert you when a cookie is set. Look under the privacy or security settings of your browser; the exact steps vary by browser and device.

Because strictly necessary cookies are required to operate the cart, sign-in, and checkout, blocking all cookies may prevent parts of the store from working correctly.

Third-party providers

Some cookies are set by the service providers that help us run the store—for example, our hosting and store platform, payment processing, and analytics providers—each acting on our instructions to deliver the features described above. These providers may set their own cookies to perform their services. Their use of information is governed by their own privacy and cookie notices. We describe how we share information more generally in our Privacy Policy.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookies Policy as our practices, the technologies we use, or the law change. We will post the updated version with a new effective date, and where required we will identify material changes. Questions about this policy or your cookie choices can be sent to sales@afswholesaleshop.com or AFS Wholesale LLC, 1957 Rutgers Blvd, Lakewood, NJ 08701.
