This Cookie Policy explains how AEACommerce uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on aeacommerce.com. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy. By continuing to use our website after being presented with our cookie banner, you consent to our use of non-essential cookies as described below.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to the website owner.
Beyond cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as:
- Pixels — tiny invisible images embedded in pages or emails that signal when a page has been loaded or an action has been taken (e.g. the Meta Pixel)
- Local storage — browser-based storage used to remember preferences across sessions
- Tags via Google Tag Manager — snippets of code that fire tracking scripts when specific conditions are met
References to "cookies" in this policy include all of the above unless stated otherwise.
We use cookies for four main purposes on aeacommerce.com:
- To keep the website functioning correctly and securely
- To understand how visitors use our site so we can improve it
- To measure the effectiveness of our own Google Ads and Meta Ads campaigns
- To show relevant ads to people who have previously visited our site (remarketing)
We do not use cookies to collect sensitive personal information, and we do not sell cookie data to third parties.
We classify the cookies on our site into four categories based on their purpose and whether your consent is required:

Note: This list reflects cookies in use at the time of the last update. As we add or remove tools, the cookies on our site may change. We update this table when material changes occur.
Some cookies on our site are set by third-party services we use. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review:
We do not control the cookies placed by these third parties, but we only enable them after obtaining your consent (except where they are loaded via essential infrastructure).
When you first visit aeacommerce.com, you will be shown a cookie consent banner that allows you to:
- Accept all cookies
- Reject all non-essential cookies
- Customise your preferences by category
Essential cookies are always active as they are required for the site to function. All other cookie categories require your explicit consent before being activated.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the cookie settings link in the footer of our website, or by managing your browser settings as described in the next section.
EU/EEA and UK visitors: Our cookie consent practices are designed to comply with the ePrivacy Directive (Cookie Law) and the GDPR. Non-essential cookies are only loaded after you have given active, informed consent — we do not use pre-ticked boxes or implied consent.
In addition to our on-site consent tool, you can control cookies directly through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View all cookies currently stored on your device
- Delete all or selected cookies
- Block cookies from specific sites or all third parties
- Set preferences for future cookie behaviour
Instructions for the most common browsers:
You can also opt out of interest-based advertising by Google via Google Ads Settings, and by Meta via your Facebook Ad Preferences.
Please note: Disabling or deleting cookies may affect the functionality of our website. Some features may not work correctly if essential cookies are blocked.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time as we add new tools, change our tracking setup, or in response to changes in applicable law. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
If we make significant changes to how we use cookies — particularly regarding advertising or third-party sharing — we will re-display the consent banner so you can review and update your preferences.
