This page explains the types of cookies and similar technologies we use on Shop‑Wholesale.com, what they do, and how you can manage your preferences. It does not ask you to consent; it describes choices available to you. For details on how we handle personal information, see our Privacy Notice.

Retention
Cookies may be:
- Session cookies, which expire when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies, which remain for a defined period. We keep persistent cookies only as long as needed for their purpose. Specific durations vary by cookie and provider.
How to manage cookies
- Site controls: Use our cookie banner or “Cookie Settings” link in the footer (where available) to review or change your preferences for non‑essential cookies at any time.

Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
Some browsers send “Do Not Track” or Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals. Where legally required, we treat these signals as opt‑out requests for relevant cookies or “sharing” used for cross‑context behavioral advertising. Because signals are browser‑specific, your choices apply only to the browser that sends the signal.
