In this Privacy Policy, “Cookies” also refers to similar technologies that can store or access information on your device, including “Local Shared Objects” (also known as Flash Cookies), pixels, and web beacons.
We will only install our own Cookies or access a consumer’s device directly with the provided consent, in compliance with the ePrivacy Directive and the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR). Nonetheless, some essential Cookies are exempt from requiring consent. These include Cookies necessary for adhering to the GDPR’s security principle and those that facilitate rapid and efficient page loading by distributing the workload across multiple computers.
When you leave a comment on any of our digital platforms, you have the option to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This feature is for your convenience, so you don’t have to re-enter your details for future comments. These cookies remain active for one year.
If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will be set to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser. Upon logging in, we set up several cookies to store your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies are valid for two days, while screen options cookies last for a year.

Use of Media
When uploading images to our digital platforms, ensure that they do not contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). This data can be easily downloaded and extracted by platform visitors.
Embedded Content from External Sites
Our digital platforms may feature embedded content such as videos, images, and articles. This content from external sites functions as if you were visiting the third-party site directly.
These sites may gather information about you, use cookies, include additional tracking from third parties, and observe your interactions with the embedded content. This includes tracking if you have an account and are logged into the third-party site.
What Personal Data Do We Process?
Personal Data refers to any information about an identified or identifiable individual. This includes details like names, identification numbers, location data, and online identifiers.
Most of the Personal Data processed by Wayne A. Cargill Agency is machine-generated. We do not gather any Personal Data that directly identifies Clients or End Users. Since our data processing activities do not require direct identification, we handle what is known as “Pseudonymised Personal Data.” This type of data cannot be linked to a specific Client or End User without extra information. Utilizing Pseudonymised Personal Data minimizes risks for Clients and End Users and assists companies like Wayne A. Cargill Agency in fulfilling their data protection responsibilities.
Using only pseudonymised personal data allows us to track a client’s or end user’s journey across digital platforms without disclosing their identity through traditional identifiers like name, address, or email. In essence, the personal data we process doesn’t enable direct identification of any client or end user. We neither seek nor require such specific details about any individual client or end user.
When a client or end user visits and engages with our digital platforms, we may collect and receive the following information:
Browser and Device Information: This encompasses details like the user agent string, which indicates the browser type and version, along with Cookie ID, clicks, impressions, timestamp, IP address, referring site URL, and current site URL.
Transactional Data: This encompasses details about a consumer’s online purchases and actions, including Order ID, product and service information, and online timestamps.
