1) What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device to remember information about your visit — things like whether you're logged in, what's in your basket, or which pages you've looked at. Some cookies are strictly necessary for the site to work; others are used for analytics or advertising and only run if you agree.
2) Managing your preferences
When you first visit Bulk STOCS you'll see a cookie banner with three choices: Reject all, Manage preferences and Accept all. You can change your mind at any time — just click Cookie settings to reopen the preferences panel. Any cookies you've already disabled are cleared the next time you save.
3) Cookies we use
Strictly necessary
These are always on. Without them you couldn't log in, use your basket, or pay — so we don't offer a toggle.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| __Host-bulk-stocs-session | Bulk STOCS | Keeps you signed in and maintains your basket across pages. | 2 hours |
| XSRF-TOKEN | Bulk STOCS | Protects forms against cross-site request forgery. | 2 hours |
| stocs_consent | Bulk STOCS | Remembers your cookie preferences. | 6 months |
Analytics
Used to measure how the site is used so we can improve it. The Google Analytics cookies below are only set if you opt in. The two Bulk STOCS cookies are our own measurement of our own traffic and are set when you arrive from one of our campaign links — they are never shared with anyone else, and both are deleted the moment you reject analytics.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| stocs_visitor | Bulk STOCS | Lets us count you as one visitor rather than once per page you open, so we can tell how many people a campaign actually reached. It holds a random reference that means nothing outside this site, and we only ever store a scrambled version of it. | 1 year |
| stocs_attribution | Bulk STOCS | Remembers which campaign link first brought you here, so that if you go on to register we know which campaign to credit. Deleted as soon as you register. | 30 days |
| _ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics | Distinguishes visitors; aggregate usage metrics. | 2 years |
| _gid | Google Analytics | Distinguishes visitors. | 24 hours |
| _gat | Google Analytics | Throttles request rate. | 1 minute |
Marketing
Used to show you relevant ads on other sites and measure the results of our campaigns. Only set if you opt in.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| __hstc, hubspotutk, __hssc, __hssrc | HubSpot | Marketing automation, CRM, form analytics. | up to 13 months |
| _fbp | Meta (Facebook) | Facebook / Instagram ad measurement. | 3 months |
| _fbc | Meta (Facebook) | Stores the last ad click for attribution. | 2 years |
| li_sugr, bcookie, UserMatchHistory, AnalyticsSyncHistory | LinkedIn Insight Tag — ad measurement and audience building. | up to 2 years | |
| _gcl_au, _gcl_aw | Google Ads | Conversion tracking for Google Ads. | 90 days |
4) Your rights
You have the right to withdraw consent at any time. You can do so from the Cookie settings link or by clearing your browser's cookies for this site. Withdrawing consent won't affect any processing that happened before you withdrew it.
