Use of cookies
A cookie is a piece of text which is stored by your browser on your computer's hard drive. A session cookie helps us analyse web traffic or lets us know when you visit a particular site. We use the software of a third party company on our website to collect the data from a session cookie on our behalf. We use a session cookie when you access any BCPC website to track patterns of behaviour of visitors to our site, to build up marketing profiles and understand browsing patterns or if you purchase something via our BCPC online shop because it enables us to speed up the buying process by allowing use of a shopping basket.
We do not store your password or any other information in the cookie, or use it for any other purpose aside from tracking patterns of visitor behaviour to provide us with statistics. Our cookies do not contain any personal identifying information about you as a visitor, your location, your preferences or your financial activity. The data held in the session cookie is completely anonymised so we can not connect the cookie back to you as a user and it is deleted as soon as you leave the web site.
Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, though you can set most browsers to prevent this collection or access.
BCPC's use of cookies is fully compliant with all UK and EU data protection and data privacy regulations.
Third parties
We will not pass your email address, or any other details, to any third parties without your explicit permission.
