Cookie Policy
Every cookie this site sets, what each one does and how long it lasts — and how to change your mind at any time.
A cookie is a small file a website asks your browser to store. Some are needed to make the site work — without them the basket empties and the price toggle forgets what you chose. Others are not needed, and we do not use them.
This page lists every cookie this site sets. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy, which covers personal data more widely.
Your choice
Nothing non-essential is set until you say so. The first time you arrive, a short notice asks whether you are happy with analytics and attribution cookies. Until you answer, the code that would set them is not sent to your browser at all — that decision is made on our server, not by a script running in the page, so there is nothing that can fail or be worked around.
Accept and Reject sit side by side, the same size, and you can choose the categories individually if you would rather. You can change your mind at any time from any page using the cookie settings link — and if you change it to no, anything already stored is deleted. There is no Google Analytics, no Meta pixel and no advertising network code anywhere on this site.
The cookies we do set
These are set because the site cannot do what you have asked of it otherwise. Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations these are exempt from consent, and they cannot be switched off from within the site.
| Cookie | What it does | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|
fab_vat | Remembers whether you asked to see prices ex VAT or inc VAT, using the toggle at the top of every page. Set only when you use that toggle. | 1 year |
wp_woocommerce_session_… | Links your browser to your basket and quote list on our server. Without it the basket cannot persist between pages. | 2 days |
woocommerce_cart_hash | Tells the site the contents of the basket have changed, so the header count and totals refresh. | Until you close the browser |
woocommerce_items_in_cart | Tells the site whether the basket has anything in it. | Until you close the browser |
wordpress_logged_in_…, wp-settings-… | Set only for staff signed in to manage the site. They are not set for customers or visitors. | Session to 1 year |
Analytics and attribution — only if you accept
WooCommerce, the shop software this site runs on, includes a feature called Order Attribution. It records how somebody arrived at the site — a search, a link on LinkedIn, or typing the address in — using a component called Sourcebuster. It sets the cookies below.
None of these are set unless you have accepted them. If you have said no, or have not answered yet, the scripts that set them are never loaded, so the cookies are never created. If you accept and later change your mind, they are deleted.
| Cookie | What it does | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|
sbjs_first, sbjs_first_add | Where you came from the first time you visited, and the time, referring address and page you landed on. | 6 months |
sbjs_current, sbjs_current_add | The same, for your current visit. | 6 months |
sbjs_session | How many pages you have viewed this visit, and the page you are on. | 30 minutes |
sbjs_udata | Basic technical information about your browser and device. | 6 months |
sbjs_migrations | Housekeeping, so the above still work after a software update. | 6 months |
If you visited this site before August 2026 you may still have some of these stored from then. Clearing your cookies for this site, or simply waiting for them to expire, removes them.
Advertising and social media
We do not run any advertising or social media tracking here. No pixel, no remarketing tag, no third-party script of any kind loads on this site. If that ever changes it will be behind consent, and it will be described on this page before it goes anywhere near a visitor.
Controlling cookies in your browser
Every browser lets you block or delete cookies. Look under Settings, then Privacy. Be aware that blocking all cookies will stop the basket working, on this site and on most others.
The Information Commissioner’s Office has a plain-English explanation of cookies and your rights at ico.org.uk.
Asking us about this
If anything on this page is unclear, or you want to know exactly what a particular cookie is doing, call us on 01268 203365 or email sales@fabsupplies.co.uk. You can change your cookie choice at any time using the cookie settings link in the footer. Our Privacy Policy covers personal data more widely, including your rights and how to complain to the ICO.
Changes to this page
If we add or remove a cookie, this list changes with it. Where we add anything that is not strictly necessary, we will ask for your consent rather than assume the answer.
