Cookie Policy
Effective date: 7 September 2026
What cookies are, which ones this website uses, and how you control them. This page sits alongside our Privacy Policy, which covers personal information more broadly.
01What A Cookie Is
A cookie is a small text file a website asks your browser to store. It lets the site remember things between pages and between visits, such as what is in your cart or that you have already completed the entry confirmation. Similar technologies, such as local storage and pixels, work the same way and are covered by this page.
02How We Group Them
Essential. Required for the site to work. They keep your session, remember your cart, record that you completed the entry confirmation, and protect forms against abuse. These cannot be switched off without breaking the site.
Statistics. Help us understand how the site is used, which pages are read and where visitors have trouble. Optional, and not set unless you allow them.
Marketing. Used to measure where an order came from. Optional, and not set unless you allow them.
03The Cookies Our Consent Tool Controls
The table below is produced by the consent tool that runs the banner, so it updates with the services the site uses.
04Cookies This Site Sets Itself
These are set by the website rather than by an outside service. They are all essential, so they are not covered by a choice.
| Cookie | What it does | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|
| aal_wel_seen_v2 | Records that you completed the Research Use Only entry confirmation, so it is not shown on every page. | 60 days |
| aal_ag_visit | Remembers that you completed the entry confirmation during this visit, so it does not reappear on every page. It is how the confirmation comes back after you close the browser or after an hour away. | Until you close the browser, or one hour without a page view |
| woocommerce_cart_hash | Set once you add something to the cart. Tells the site the cart has changed so the page shows the right contents. | Until you close the browser |
| woocommerce_items_in_cart | Set once you add something to the cart. Tells the site the cart is not empty. | Until you close the browser |
| wp_woocommerce_session_… | Links your browser to your cart and, if you are signed in, to your account, so the cart survives from page to page. | 2 days |
| fc_ab_cart_token | Set on the checkout page once you type your email address. Links your browser to your saved cart so a cart reminder email can bring you straight back to it. Removed when you place the order. | 30 days |
| fc_ab_cart_skip_track | Set only if you choose No Thanks under the checkout notice. Records that you do not want your cart saved or any cart reminder emails. | 7 days |
| wordpress_logged_in_…, wp-settings-… | Set only when you sign in to an account. They keep you signed in and remember your screen preferences. | Session to 1 year |
05Order Attribution
WooCommerce, the shop software this site runs on, can record where a visit came from so an order can be attributed to a source. It uses a set of cookies whose names begin with sbjs_. The session one lasts thirty minutes and the rest last up to six months. These are optional and are covered by the Statistics choice on the banner.
06Your Choices
When you first arrive you are asked to choose. You can accept all, reject the optional ones, or open Preferences and decide category by category. Nothing optional is loaded before you choose.
You can change your mind at any time using the cookie button in the corner of the site. Your choice is remembered for thirty days, after which you are asked again.
Your browser can also block or delete cookies for any site. Blocking essential cookies will stop parts of this site from working, including the cart and the entry confirmation.
Global Privacy Control. If your browser or an extension sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we honour it and treat the optional categories as declined, without you having to touch the banner.
07Services That Set Cookies
Some cookies are set by services we use rather than by us directly. Where that is the case the provider is named in the first table, together with what the cookie does and how long it lasts. We do not run advertising networks on this site, and we do not sell personal information.
08Payment And Account Information
No payment card number, bank account number or routing number is stored on this website or in any cookie. Payment is arranged by invoice after account verification.
09Changes To This Page
If the cookies we use change, the tables above change with them and the effective date is updated. Material changes are also reflected in the Privacy Policy.
