Interest-Based Advertising Cookies

You will have noticed that when you visit websites you will be shown adverts for products and services you may wish to buy. The money made by website owners for showing third party adverts on their websites often pays for the cost of running the website. Consequently this usually allows you to use the website without having to pay a registration or usage fee. To ensure that the adverts you see are relevant to you third party cookies may be used to collect information about the types of things that interest you like websites you visit or the geography that you are based in. Having these cookies does not increase the number of adverts you will be shown, but simply makes the adverts you see more relevant.
