Cookies and Similar Technologies

We employ these cookies for a number of reasons, including but not limited to delivering content tailored to your interests; saving your password between visits so you don’t have to re-enter it; calculating the site’s overall audience size; and monitoring, analysing, and improving the site’s performance, operation, and effectiveness.
Privacy Guidelines for Google Ads and Content Networks
Ads on our website may be delivered by third-party suppliers, such as Google, who utilise cookies to track a user’s online behaviour and tailor their ad experience accordingly. When users visit our site and/or other sites on the Internet, Google and its partners can track their activity using information from the DoubleClick cookie.

Privacy Statement for Google Analytics
To learn more about how visitors interact with our website, we employ Google Analytics. Google Analytics tracks data such as the number of times users visit our site, the pages they see, and the sites they visited just before arriving at ours. The data we collect with Google Analytics helps us make the site better for our users. When you visit our site, Google Analytics records only the IP address allocated to you on that day, not any personal information about you. Google Analytics data is not linked to any personally identifiable information on our site (PII). Google Analytics does store a cookie on your browser to recognise you as a returning user, however, this cookie is only accessible to Google. At https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout, you can choose not to have Google Analytics collect or use any data collected from your visit.
Advertising on Google
As I browse the web, Google keeps showing me adverts for things I’ve already looked at. A remarketing advertising solution is implemented on our website. Google and other ad-display networks offer us a retargeting service via which our advertising is displayed on websites all over the web. We use remarketing to show you advertising for items you viewed but did not buy. As an illustration, let’s say you check out a website selling laptops but decide against making a purchase on your first visit. The proprietor would like you to come back and buy a computer from him or her, so you may see his or her adverts on other sites you frequent. For the same reasons, we make use of retargeting, which means you can come across ads for our products while browsing the web. This is accomplished through the use of either a cookie already present in your browser or the placement of a cookie in your browser by Google or other remarketing providers when you visit our site or other sites employing remarketing. (If your browser’s security settings let it, this will occur).
In order to disable Google’s cookie and remarketing tracking, visit https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=en
Alternatively, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s opt-out portal at https://optout.networkadvertising.org/#!/ to exercise your right to opt-out.
Facebook Remarketing
Currently, we are utilizing Facebook’s retargeting service for advertisements on our website. Remarketing allows us to show you adverts on Facebook for things you’ve shown interest in while browsing. Facebook’s Custom Audience Pixel is what actually does this by setting a “cookie” in the browser of each site visitor. To disable Facebook retargeting, please visit https://www.facebook.com/help/568137493302217.
