Google remarketing and Google advertising:

Most content on the Internet – from the latest political news to up-to-the-minute sports scores and stock quotes – is free to consumers. Why? Because of effective Internet advertising.

What makes Internet advertising effective is the use of technologies that allow advertising networks, analytics firms, websites, and others to make inferences about consumer tastes and provide relevant content. Because of the seemingly complex nature of these technologies, many users have become concerned about their online privacy.

When you browse our website we use and have implemented the “Google remarketing” tool, and as part of this we allow Google to collect data, in the form of “cookies” about your visit to our website for the purpose of using this information and being able to display relevant advertisements and other information on the Google network and other Google sources such as, but not limited to, the Gmail. We do not provide Google with any of your personal information other than the above.

Third party vendors, including Google, show our ads on sites on the internet.

Third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to our website.

You can always opt out of Google’s use of cookies by visiting the Google advertising opt-out page.

Alternatively you can opt out of a third party vendor’s use of cookies by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt out page.

You can opt out of DoubleClick’s remarketing pixels use of cookies by visiting the DoubleClick opt-out page or the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.

Social Media

We also offer the ability to interact with our website using various social media buttons and widgets. We make use of social media channels and the data they provide for anonymised analysis of usage.

Remarketing and Behavioural

When visiting our website, we have allowed Facebook to implement cookies for the purpose of remarketing.
