Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognise a particular user’s browser. You can find more information about cookies at www.allaboutcookies.org and www.youronlinechoices.eu.

  Targeting or advertising cookies

  • Some advertisers try to “behaviourally target” you by sending a unique cookie to your browser when their advertisement is displayed, and then recognising that cookie when one of their advertisements is displayed on some other website you visit with the same browser. In this way they hope to build up a picture of the websites you’re interested in, and so show you advertisements more in line with your interests. We have no direct means of controlling this, but this resource can help you to manage this yourself.
  • We use Google to serve advertisements across all areas of our site, and have no direct control of the DoubleClick cookies it sets. You can read all about Google’s advertising cookies here. You can still receive advertisements from Google without being “behaviourally targeted” by them; you can opt out via their website here.
  • Some of the advertisers using the Google service may set their own cookies too. They are typically used to limit the number of times you see a particular advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. Unfortunately, we can’t directly control their cookies either, but you can, by taking control of your cookie management.
