## 1. Information We Collect
We collect information in two main ways: information you voluntarily provide to us, and information collected automatically when you browse our website.
### a) Information You Provide Voluntarily
When you interact with certain features on our site, you may choose to share personal information with us. This includes:

### b) Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, we automatically receive certain non-personally identifiable information when you visit our site. This includes:

## 3. Cookies
### What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to the site owners.
### How We Use Cookies
Pest Free Gone uses cookies for the following purposes:
| Cookie Type | Purpose |
| Essential Cookies | Required for basic site functionality, such as navigating pages and accessing secure areas. The site cannot function properly without them. |

| Affiliate Tracking Cookies | When you click an affiliate link (such as a link to Amazon), a cookie may be placed by the retailer to track that the click came from our site. This is how we earn a commission if you make a purchase. These cookies are set by the retailer, not by us. |
| Functional Cookies | These remember your preferences, such as whether you have accepted our cookie notice, so we don’t show it again. |

### Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may occasionally include embedded content (such as YouTube videos). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if you had visited the other website directly.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content. We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy practices.

## 5. Affiliate Links and Advertising
Pest Free Gone participates in affiliate marketing programs. As explained in our [Affiliate Disclosure](#), we earn a small commission when you purchase products through certain links on our site, at no additional cost to you.
When you click an affiliate link, a cookie is placed on your device by the retailer (such as Amazon) to ensure we receive credit for the referral. We do not control these cookies. Please review the privacy policies of the respective retailers for more information.
We do not currently run third-party display advertising (such as Google AdSense), but if that changes in the future, we will update this policy and provide clear notice.
