Remarketing Cookies

You may notice that sometimes after visiting a site you see increased numbers of adverts from the site you visited. This is because advertisers, including ourselves pay for these adverts. The technology to do this is made possible by cookies and as such we may place a so called "remarketing cookie" during your visit.

We use these adverts to offer special offers etc to encourage you to come back to our site. We are unable to proactively reach out to you as the whole process is entirely anonymised.

You can turn off or opt out of these cookies at any time. Click on the "Ad Choices" logo in the top right hand corner of the banner and choose from the options. You can also turn off or opt out of these cookies at any time by visiting http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices as outlined above.

Affiliate Cookies

We have a number of partners who promote our service on a success-only basis. Cookies are required to allow us to reward these partners and these cookies are usually provided by specialist companies (known as affiliate networks). Neither us, the networks, or the partner advertising or recommending our services are able to identify you personally.

Google's Cookies

Users may opt out of Google's use of cookies by visiting the Google advertising opt-out page.

Turning cookies off

You can usually switch cookies off by adjusting your browser settings to stop it from accepting cookies. Doing so however will likely limit the functionality of ours and a large proportion of the world's websites as cookies are a standard part of most modern websites.

It may be that you concerns around cookies relate to so called "spyware". Rather than switching off cookies in your browser you may find that anti-spyware software achieves the same objective by automatically deleting cookies considered to be invasive.
