We’d like to make sure that visitors to our websites understand exactly what cookies are used for and how they affect you whilst browsing or buying from us.
Cookies are a kind of short term memory for the web. They are stored in your browser and enable a site to 'remember' little bits of information between pages or visits.
HomeServe uses both ‘first-party’ cookies and ‘third party’ cookies on our website. We place first party cookies on our website so we can remember your preferences, monitor the number of visits we have to our website, monitor how you found our website, and so we can present you with adverts which we think you will find interesting. This includes first party cookies for social media platforms, such as 'Facebook pixels', so we can present those adverts when you are using social media platforms. Third party cookies are placed on our website (and many other websites) by other companies not associated with HomeServe, so they can monitor which websites different users visit. This lets those companies understand the preferences and interests of users, so they can present adverts which will be relevant to them.
If, for any reason, we do wish to obtain personal information which may identify you, we will obtain it in a clear and fair manner and also explain what we plan to do with your information. Please see our Privacy Policy for further information.
You have full control over your cookie preferences for each website you use.
