Cookie Policy
Last updated: September 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how KDF Supplies (“we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit kdfsupplies.co.uk.
It explains what cookies are, why we use them and the choices available to you.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when you visit a website.
Cookies allow websites to recognise your device and store certain information about your preferences or previous actions. They can help websites function correctly, remember settings, understand how visitors use a website and, where applicable, provide relevant advertising.
Some cookies are necessary for a website to function, while others are optional and require your consent.
2. How We Use Cookies
KDF Supplies may use cookies to:
ensure our website functions correctly and securely;
operate our online shop and shopping basket;
remember your preferences and cookie choices;
enable features such as customer accounts and checkout;
understand how visitors use our website;
monitor website performance;
improve our website, products and services;
measure the effectiveness of marketing activities; and
provide relevant content or advertising where you have consented to this.
Where required by law, non-essential cookies will only be placed on your device after you have given your consent.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the operation of our website and cannot normally be switched off through our cookie consent system.
They may be used for functions such as website security, shopping baskets, checkout, customer accounts, payment processing and remembering your privacy preferences.
Because these cookies are necessary for the website to operate, your consent is not generally required for their use.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow our website to provide additional features and remember choices you make.
For example, they may remember preferences or information that improves your experience when returning to the website.
Where required, these cookies will only be used with your consent.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
We may use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website.
These cookies can provide information such as which pages are visited, how visitors move around the website, how long they spend on particular pages and whether they encounter errors.
This information helps us understand website performance and identify areas that can be improved.
Where required by law, analytics cookies will only be activated after you have provided consent.
Marketing and Advertising Cookies
We may use marketing cookies or similar technologies to understand the effectiveness of advertising campaigns and, where applicable, provide advertising that is more relevant to visitors.
These technologies may be provided by third-party advertising or social media services.
Marketing and advertising cookies will only be used where you have provided the appropriate consent.
4. WooCommerce Cookies
Our website uses WooCommerce to provide online shopping functionality.
WooCommerce may use cookies that are necessary for features such as:
remembering products in your shopping basket;
determining when the contents of your basket change;
maintaining your shopping session;
enabling checkout; and
supporting customer account functionality.
Some of these cookies are considered strictly necessary because the online shop cannot function correctly without them.
5. Analytics
We may use analytics services, such as Google Analytics or similar technologies, to help us understand how visitors use our website.
Depending on the services enabled on the website, analytics providers may collect information relating to your device, browser, interactions with the website and approximate location.
Where analytics cookies require consent, they will not be activated until you have accepted the relevant cookie category.
You can subsequently withdraw your consent through our cookie settings.
6. Third-Party Cookies
Some features of our website may be provided by third parties.
These could include services relating to:
payment processing;
website analytics;
embedded maps;
videos;
social media;
customer reviews;
website security; and
other external content or functionality.
These third parties may place their own cookies or use similar technologies when you interact with their services.
Third-party cookies are controlled by the organisations that provide them and are subject to their own privacy and cookie policies.
7. Payment Processing
When you purchase products through our website, payments may be processed by third-party payment providers.
These providers may use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary to process transactions securely, prevent fraud and provide their payment services.
Where cookies are strictly necessary to provide a payment service requested by you, they may be used without consent. Other cookies will be subject to the appropriate consent requirements.
8. How Long Do Cookies Last?
Cookies can be either session cookies or persistent cookies.
Session cookies generally expire when you close your browser.
Persistent cookies remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them.
The length of time a particular cookie remains on your device depends on its purpose and the service that provides it.
9. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit our website, you may be presented with a cookie banner or consent tool allowing you to choose which optional cookies you wish to accept.
You can normally:
accept all optional cookies;
reject non-essential cookies;
choose individual cookie categories; and
change or withdraw your consent later.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.
Strictly necessary cookies cannot normally be disabled through our cookie settings because they are required for the website to function.
10. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser
Most web browsers allow you to view, manage, block and delete cookies.
You can usually find these controls within your browser’s privacy or security settings.
Please be aware that blocking all cookies may affect the operation of our website. For example, you may experience problems using the shopping basket, logging into your account or completing an online purchase.
11. Personal Information
Some information collected through cookies and similar technologies may constitute personal information.
Where this is the case, we process that information in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable UK data protection legislation, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and Data Protection Act 2018.
Please refer to our Privacy Policy for further information about how we collect, use and protect personal information and your data protection rights.
12. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our website, the technologies we use, legal requirements or our business practices.
Any changes will be published on this page and the “Last updated” date will be amended accordingly.
We recommend checking this policy periodically.
