Information collected

Although anonymous visitors who do not fill in any forms or place orders will remain completely anonymous to us, we may ask for personal information from you when you order goods, post content to the website or contact us through the website.

This is done for obvious reasons (such as for payment or delivery of goods) and you will know you are supplying information and what is being collected by us. We will use your information to process any orders you may place, to provide or administer our services to you, to display content you have provided to us on the website (including comments or blog submissions).

We will also use/store your personal information for our internal records and for contacting you with details of new publications, etc. We will not forward personal information you provide to us through the website to any other third parties, and we take precautions to prevent the loss, misuse or unauthorised alteration of information you provide us through this website.

Cookies

Recent EU and UK legislation has addressed cookies. This is a small text file that may be placed on a visitor’s own hard drive by a website. The International Pest Control website uses session cookies which keep track of information you have entered or looked at as you travel from page to page within the website. These cookies expire when you close your browser.

Other functions of this website (such as the shopping cart) rely on cookies to do their job – for example, to keep track of what is in your shopping cart so that it can calculate and register your entire order. This would not be possible without cookies, and our shopping cart requires cookies to be enabled in order to function correctly.

We also use third party tools on this website – for instance, to provide us with usage statistics. In common with a large number of other organisations, we use Google Analytics to do this. The information collected is anonymous (i.e. it is not associated with you personally) and helps us to find out which parts of the website work well and which do not.

We also anonymize visitor IP addresses by removing the last part of the IP address.Internet browsers normally accept cookies by default. However, it is possible to set your browser to reject cookies. For further details on disabling cookies, see: www.aboutcookies.org.

This website may also contain links to third parties who make use of cookies in different ways. We have no control over third-party websites, but we do not knowingly host links to sites whose practices are not conducive to good privacy.
