PRIVACY POLICY
(Also See Our Special “Children’s Privacy Policy, And Note to Parents and Caregivers” Below)
The privacy policies described below are part of this Agreement. We respect the privacy of our online visitors. We collect information on or through this site that can personally identify you only when it is voluntarily offered by you. For example, we collect personally identifiable information to respond to visitor questions and comments about us and our products and services, to mail e-newsletters and to contact winners of contests and promotions.
Our site sometimes includes sweepstakes or other promotions that we are offering or are offering jointly with another company, and we may allow you to enter electronically in some cases. If that occurs, we will use the information you provide for the purpose of conducting the promotion (for example, to contact you if you have won) and with your consent, to offer you products and services of ours and our joint sweepstakes sponsors. In addition, we may also collect demographic and other data for market research, advertising and promotional purposes.
We do not share any of the personal information you provide to us with any third party other than service providers of ours who assist us in providing the information and/or services we are providing to you. To the extent that we do share your personal information with a service provider, we would only do so if that party has agreed to comply with our privacy standards as described in this privacy policy.
Any non-personal information, communications and material you send to this site or to us by E-mail are on a nonconfidential basis. We are free to use and reproduce any such information freely, and for any purpose whatsoever. Specifically, we will be free to use any ideas, concepts, know-how or techniques contained in such information for any purpose, including developing, manufacturing or marketing products. Any information you send to this site must be truthful, not violate the rights of others and be legal.
Like many other companies, we use “cookie” technology, where our servers deposit special codes on a visitor’s computer. This information helps us determine in the aggregate the total number of visitors to the site on an ongoing basis and the types of Internet browsers (e.g., Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer etc.) and operating systems (e.g., Windows or Macitosh etc.) used by our visitors. This information is used to enhance your on-line visits. Under no circumstances do we use this information to personally identify visitors or cross-reference the information with any type of personal information that is voluntarily offered on or through the site.
We may modify this policy at any time, in our sole discretion and all modifications will be effective immediately upon our posting of the modifications on this site. Unless we specifically provide otherwise, this policy only applies to this site and our online activities, and does not apply to any of our offline activities.
Colgate-Palmolive Cookie Policy
Like many other companies, Colgate-Palmolive uses cookies and similar technology, on our websites. This notice provides you with information about how we use cookies and how you can control them.
By using this website (and each website operated by us and our affiliates) you accept the use of cookies (and similar technology) in accordance with this notice. In particular, you accept the use of analytics, advertising and functionality cookies for the purposes described below.
If you do not accept the use of these cookies, please see the section below entitled ‘How to control or delete cookies’ for further instructions.
What is a cookie?
Cookies are small files of letters and numbers that are downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are then sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognizes that cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognize a user’s device.
Cookies do lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improving the user experience. They can also help to ensure that adverts you see online are more relevant to you and your interests.
We use two broad categories of cookies:
- First party cookies, served directly by us to your computer.
- Third party cookies, served by a third party on our behalf. We use third party cookies to help us analyze our websites and their use, and to enable tailored advertising (as described below).
How do we use cookies?
The table below summarizes how we and third parties use cookies on our websites. Those uses include using cookies to:
- understand the total number of visitors to our sites on an ongoing basis and the types of internet browsers (e.g. Firefox, Safari or Internet Explorer) and operating systems (e.g. Windows or Macintosh) used by our visitors;
- monitor our sites’ performance, including how visitors navigate our websites, and to improve our websites;
- customize and enhance your online experience; and
- enable tailored Colgate – Palmolive and third-party advertising both on and off our websites.
What types of cookies do we use?
The types of cookies used on our websites can be classified into one of four categories, namely ‘essential website cookies’, ‘functionality cookies’, ‘analytics cookies’ and ‘advertising cookies’. The following table gives you further information about each category, and the purposes of the cookies we set:
Type of Cookie | What it does | Source and how to block |
Essential website cookies | These cookies are essential to enable you to move around our websites and use their features. These cookies don’t gather information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you have been on the internet. These cookies are often session-specific, expiring after your visit to the website (session) has ended. This category of cookies cannot be disabled. | Colgate – Palmolive (first party cookies) |
Functionality Cookies | These cookies allow our websites to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language or region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. The information these cookies collect may be anonymised and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites. This category of cookies cannot be disabled. | Colgate – Palmolive (first party cookies) |
Functionality and advertising Cookies | These cookies are used to deliver some content on our websites using YouTube. Data collected by Google may also be used by Google and its partners for other purposes, to provide tailored advertising both on and off our websites. | YouTube (opt-out) |
Analytics cookies | These cookies, including cache cookies, are set by Google Analytics, Omniture, and Fabric and Quantcast and are used to collect information about how visitors use our sites, including the number of visitors, the websites that referred them to our websites and the pages that they visited on our websites. We use this information to compile reports and to help us improve our websites, for example, by letting us know if users find any errors and by ensuring that users find what they are looking for easily. Typically these cookies stay on your computer until you delete them. | Omniture (opt-out) Google Analytics (opt-out) Fabric (opt-out) Quantcast (opt-out) |
Advertising cookies | These cookies are used to collect data about the websites and individual pages that users visit both on and off our websites (which might indicate, for example, your interests and other attributes). They are typically used to deliver adverts and other marketing communications more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as to help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. They are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission. They stay on your computer unless you delete them and they remember that you have visited a website. They can also show if you arrived at our website through an advertising link. This information is shared with other organisations such as advertisers and our contractors, who might use it with information about how you use other websites, including to identify shared interests and behaviours across groups of users who visit our (and other) websites. |

Other similar technology
As is the case with many websites, we use technology similar to cookies, including local shared objects (sometimes called ‘flash cookies’), browser history sniffing, browser fingerprinting and pixel tags (sometimes called ‘web beacons’). This gives us and our providers information about how our websites and their content are used by visitors, and allows us to identify whether your computer or device visited our sites or other websites in the past.
Our servers automatically collect your IP address when you visit our websites, and we may associate that with your domain name or that of your internet access provider. We may also capture certain “clickstream data” relating to your use of our websites. Clickstream data includes, for example, information about your computer or device, web browser and operating system and their settings, the referring page that linked you to our sites, the pages and content you see or click on during your visit and when and for how long you do so, items you download, the next website you visit when you leave our sites, and any search terms you have entered on our sites or a referral site.

Recruitment disclaimer/ The fake job offer fraud alert
It has come to our attention that various individuals and organisations are contacting people offering false employment opportunities in the name of Lakson Group of Companies and / or Colgate-Palmolive Pakistan Limited and / or its associated companies and affiliates. Said individuals and organisations are using fake CNIC numbers and cell numbers with the intention to extort money from people in the name of processing fee, by different modes including mobile / online fund transfer services etc. We take such matter extremely seriously, and work with the appropriate legal authorities to terminate fraudulent schemes using Lakson Group or its associated company’s name. Please note that we and/or our affiliates do not charge any fee at any stage of its recruitment process (application, interview, processing, training or other fee). We strongly recommend that the recipients of solicitations, exercise extreme caution. Financial loss and identity theft could result from the transfer of money or personal information to those issuing such fraudulent correspondence. By making you aware of this, we hope to avoid and ultimately stop victims falling for such scams.
Children’s Privacy Policy, And Note to Parents and Caregivers
We care about the privacy of children. We recognize that children’s use of the Internet and E-mail raise special concerns regarding privacy and security of information.
It is our intention to adhere to the Children’s Online Privacy Protection measures on collecting personal information from minors. We remind and encourage all parents to check and monitor their children’s online activities. Help us protect the privacy of your children by ensuring that they never send E-mail or submit personal information on this site or any other without your permission.
We do not condition a child’s participation in an activity on the child’s disclosing more personal information than is reasonably necessary to participate in that activity. We do not share your children’s personal information with third parties.
Parents have the right to review and have deleted any personally identifiable information we have collected from their children, and refuse to permit further collection of that information. To start this process, please send an E-mail to consumer_affairsPK@colpal.com.pk
Your children can enjoy most of the content and activities in our children’s areas without supplying any personal information to us at all. For example, the Kids World site at http://kids-world.colgatepalmolive.com offers interesting facts, games and stories aimed at raising children’s awareness of oral health. In addition, http://www.colgatebsbf.com provides oral educational materials designed for teachers, parents and kids, and has fun activities for kids. Only a few features collect your child’s E-mail address, and then only for the purpose of responding to your child’s request or answering your child’s question. Once we have responded, we delete your child’s E-mail address from our system. For example, our Tooth Fairy asks for your child’s E-mail address to send children a special message when they’ve lost a tooth. This information is used only to respond to the child’s request, and no further information is required. The information is captured and stored for twenty-four hours only. Once the Tooth Fairy responds to the child, the information is discarded and cannot be retrieved.
We sometimes solicit or accept submissions from children, some of which may be posted on our sites. Such submissions may only be made offline. If a child or parent wants us to post a photograph or any other personally identifiable information, we require a signed parental permission and release form. When children make submissions to us offline, such as by regular mail, we may choose to retain all of the information they submit to us. Unless we received a signed parental permission form, we screen all offline submissions before they are posted, and strip out any personal information they may contain.
As more fully described above, we use “cookie” technology, where our servers deposit special codes on a visitor’s computer. This information is used to enhance your on-line visits. Under no circumstances do we use this information to personally identify visitors or cross-reference the information with any type of personal information that is voluntarily offered on or through the site.
For your children’s enjoyment, we also link to other sites. We are not responsible for those other sites, and we advise you to check their privacy policies as well.
For additional information about our children’s privacy practices, please contact consumer_affairsPK@colpal.com.pk
