Targeting Cookies
So that we can increase interest in our products, we work with advertising partners that set cookies on your device when you visit websites. These cookies enable a profile of your product likes to be created. This profile can result in adverts relating to our products being shown to you when you are visiting another company’s website. If you click on these adverts you will be taken to our website. So that the effectiveness of the advertising campaign can be monitored and rewarded, some of the pages of our website contain cookies that allow our advertising partners to identify you.
They store the personal identifiers of your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising. A number of web browsers automatically block these types of cookies, however to actively remove them from your device, use the instructions in the link here.
In addition, both the Network Advertising Initiative and the Digital Advertising Alliance offer removal tools aimed at the targeting cookies that are placed by their participating member companies.
Third Party Links
Our cookie policy contains links to other websites operated by third parties which open in a new window. Please check the privacy policies for these third parties’ websites as we are not responsible for their personal data processing.
