The information from cookies and related technology is stored in web server logs and also in web cookies kept on your Device(s), which are then transmitted back to our Site by your Device(s).

For example, when you visit ServiceMaster Restoration By Simons and/or ServiceMaster Clean Applications, we and our service providers may place cookies on your Device(s). Cookies allow us to recognize you when you return and may track and target your interests in order to provide a customized experience. They also help us detect certain kinds of fraud.

Some cookies contain serial numbers that allow us to connect your activity with ServiceMaster Restoration By Simons and/or ServiceMaster Clean Applications with other information we store about you in your profile or as related to your interactions with ServiceMaster Restoration By Simons and/or ServiceMaster Clean Applications.

Some cookies are temporary, whereas others may be configured to last longer. “Session” cookies are temporary cookies used for various reasons, such as to manage page views. Your browser usually erases Session cookies once you exit your browser. “Persistent” cookies are more permanent cookies that are stored on your computers or mobile devices even beyond when you exit your browser. We use persistent cookies for a number of purposes, such as retrieving certain information you have previously provided. “Flash” cookies, known as local shared objects, are data files placed on a Device via the Adobe Flash plug-in that may be built-in to or downloaded by you to your Device to personalize your visit. Our third-party service providers also may use Flash cookies to collect and store information. Flash cookies are different from standard browser cookies because of the amount of, type of, and how data is stored. Cookies may be used for many purposes, including, without limitation, remembering you and your preferences and tracking your visits to our web pages. You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a Persistent or Session cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off such cookies through your browser settings.
