Cookie Policy
Protectahome uses cookies on our website in order to improve the websites’ performance, navigation and content which ultimately will enhance the visitor experience. Our cookie policy aims to inform visitors how we will do this.
What is a Cookie?
Cookies are small files that websites put on your computer hard disk drive when you first visit. Think of a cookie as an identification card that’s uniquely yours. Its job is to notify the site when you’ve returned.
There are four types of cookies each with differing levels of tracking ability. Not all websites will use all types of cookies. Many websites use cookies just as a means to track user activity on their sites.
The four types of cookies are as follows:
- Targeting and advertising cookies
- Functionality cookie
- Performance cookies
- Strictly necessary cookies
A cookie does not carry any viruses.
Protectahome refers to the term “cookies” in this policy to refer to all files that act in this way and store information on user/device activity.
Protectahome Website Cookie Tracking
Protectahome uses performance cookies. The primary function of a performance cookie is to track and monitor user activity on a website. A performance cookie will assist with creating web statistics and is used by webmasters who use Google Analytics for their monitoring and analyzing of online activity on their site.
Why we use Cookies
Protectahome uses performance cookies so that we are able to understand what visitors are doing when they get on to our site, what pages they go to, what navigational route they took to get there and what keywords they have used to find us . Using Google Analytics we are also able to identify some basic geographical data and information on the types of devices are used by visitors to the website.
By collating and analysing this data we are able to customise the content and structure of the site to meet the needs of the visitors.

All browsers should have privacy settings in which you can select the level of cookie tracking that you are comfortable with. For example Internet Explorer has, within their privacy settings in internet options, a sliding scale from ‘Accept all Cookies’ to ‘Block all Cookies’ and you can choose exactly where you want your setting to be placed.
If you are unsure as to how to change your privacy and cookie settings go to the help function on your browser and select either ‘Privacy Settings’ or ‘Disable Cookies’ and follow the instructions.
