External Cookies and Tracking Mechanisms

The advertisements you see displayed on the site are sometimes generated by third parties. These services may use their own anonymous cookies to track how many times a particular ad has been displayed to you, and may track your visits to other sites where their ads are displayed. Please note that advertisers can only track visits to sites which display their ads or other content. This tracking is anonymous, meaning that they do not identify who is viewing which ads. Tracking in this manner allows advertisers to show you ads that are more likely to be interesting to you, and also limit the number of times you see the same ad across a wide number of sites. As an example of how advertisers operate, if you recently researched cars, adverts for motoring service providers may subsequently appear on this website. Company does not have access to, or control over, these third party cookies; nor can the data held by these advertisers be viewed. Online advertisers provide ways for you to opt-out of your browsing being tracked.

Advanced Web Monitoring Technologies
