Cookies
This cookie policy (“Cookie Policy”) explains what cookies are and how Bunzl Canada Inc. (“Bunzl, Bunzl Industrial, we, us”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit websites owned and operated by Bunzl, including www.bunzlcanada.ca, any other websites, pages, features, or content we own or operate, and/or when you interact with Bunzl online advertisements or marketing emails (collectively the “Services”). Please read our Cookie Policy so that you can understand what information is collected using cookies and similar tracking technologies, and how Bunzl uses that information. We will generally refer to cookies, web beacons, flash cookies, and pixels collectively as “cookies” or “tracking technology” in this policy. This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy. By using our Services, including www.bunzlindustrial.ca, you are agreeing that we can use cookies and other tracking technologies described in this Cookie Policy
- What are cookies?
Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that a Web site can store on your computer’s hard drive. When you visit Bunzl, create a user account, or otherwise interact with a Bunzl event online, we may set cookies on your personal computer. We require that cookies be enabled in your Web browser so that we can identify you as a repeat visitor or customer and maintain session information for logged-in users. We also use cookies to track usage trends and patterns in order to better understand and improve areas of our Web site. Bunzl may allow other companies that are providing content on our site to set and access their own cookies on your computer. Other companies’ use of cookies is subject to their respective privacy policies. Cookies set by us are called “first party cookies,” while cookies set by parties other than Bunzl are called “third party cookies.” The parties that set third party cookies can recognize your device, both when you use the Services and when you use other websites or mobile apps. You should check the third party’s website for more information about how they use cookies and other tracking technologies. Both first party and third party cookies can serve a number of different functions, such as analytics, marketing and advertising. Cookies collect and process both personal information (such as when you fill in a form on our site), as well as information that does not identify you as an individual. To the extent that IP addresses or similar identifiers are considered personal information by local law, we will treat these identifiers as prescribed under such applicable laws. If we combine non-personal information with personal information, the combined information will be treated as personal information for as long as it remains combined.
- What other similar tracking technologies does Bunzl use?
In addition to cookies, we may use other technologies that are similar to cookies, like web beacons, flash cookies, or pixels to track how you use our Services.
- Web Beacons: Web beacons, or “clear gifs”, are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies. Web beacons are placed on a website or in an email that alone or in conjunction with cookies compile information about your usage of or your interaction with the Services. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive or device, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on web pages. Similar to cookies, beacons primarily help us better manage content on our Services by informing us which content is effective. Bunzl may collect information about whether you open or click any links in the Services, research or marketing communications that we send to you through web beacons. The analysis gathered helps us improve the effectiveness of content and format of our websites and email communications.
- Flash Cookies: We may also use so-called “flash cookies” (also known as “Local Shared Objects” or “LSOs”) to collect and store information about your use of our Services. Flash cookies are commonly used for advertisements and videos.
- Pixels: A “pixel” or “tag” can be placed on a website or within an email for the purposes of tracking your interactions with our websites or when emails are opened or accessed; pixels are often used in combination with cookies.
- How does Bunzl use cookies and other tracking technology?

We also use advertising tracking technology to assist with marketing our products and services to interested individuals. We may present you with an advertisement when you leave our Services because we think you might be interested in particular products and services.
