What About Internet Provider (IP) Addresses and Cookies?

We do log IP addresses, but we do not link IP addresses to personally identifiable information other than the resolution of the IP address. This means that, while a user's session is tracked, the identity of that user remains virtually anonymous. We also use these IP addresses to analyse trends, administer the site and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. We track users as statistics and groups. Your individual usage is lost in a swarm of usage data. Cookies may be used for similar reasons. Cookies are small pieces of information stored on your computer's hard drive that allow us to monitor what sort of content on our website you find most interesting. Your Privacy and security are not compromised when you accept a cookie from Kingfisher.com.au because we do not use cookies to collect personal information. The data you provide by surfing through our site enables us to structure our site based around common surfing habits. This enables us to provide users with better experiences.

e-Commerce Security

We take precautions to protect its users personal information. We use industry-standard on-line security measures, such as encryption and authentication, to protect your credit card information. Please note, however, that no transmission over the Internet can be 100% secure. kingfisher.com.au also works to protect user information offline. All of your information is housed in secure, access-restricted areas. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific function are granted access to personally identifiable information.
