Cookie Policy
Short version: this site sets one cookie, it exists only to stop other websites forging submissions on your behalf, and it holds nothing about you.
Every cookie this site sets
| Name | Purpose | Lasts | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
PHPSESSID |
Holds a random token that is checked when you submit the quote form, so that a different website cannot submit it on your behalf. It contains no name, no contact details and no browsing history. | Until you close the browser | Strictly necessary |
wl_admin |
Keeps the site owner logged in to the private admin area. It is never set for
ordinary visitors — only on /admin/. |
Until sign-out or browser close | Strictly necessary |
What this site deliberately does not have
This list matters more than the one above, because these are the things that normally trigger a consent banner:
- No analytics. No Google Analytics, no tag manager, no heatmaps, no session recording. We do not track which pages you visit.
- No advertising or tracking pixels. Nothing from Meta, Google Ads, TikTok or any ad network. Nothing follows you to other sites.
- No third-party embeds. No embedded video players, no maps, no social widgets, no comment systems.
- No external fonts or scripts. Everything the page needs is served from this domain, so no other company sees your IP address as a result of your visit here.
- No cross-site profiling, and nothing sold. We do not build a profile of you and we do not sell or share personal information for advertising.
Because consent rules apply to cookies that are not necessary — tracking, advertising and analytics. A cookie whose only job is to make a form you chose to use work safely is exempt. If this site ever adds analytics or advertising, this page changes and a real consent choice appears with it. Until then, a banner would be theatre.
Turning them off
Every browser lets you block or delete cookies for a site, and nothing here will break if you do — except the quote form, which will refuse your submission because it can no longer tell your browser apart from a forgery. If you would rather not use cookies at all, email us instead at quotes@hattiesburgwildliferemoval.com.
Server logs
Separately from cookies, our hosting provider keeps standard web server logs — IP address, time, page requested, browser user-agent. That is a normal part of running any website and happens whether or not you accept cookies. We use them for security and troubleshooting, not for marketing.
