Cookies accompanying our advertising content displayed by third parties

When you visit a website displaying one of our ads, the ad may contain a cookie.

This cookie may be stored on your device and allow us to recognise your browser, calculate what we owe to the ad server or third-party website, and to collect statistics.

Personalised ads

We want to present ads that are personally relevant to you. To this end, cookies allow us to determine in real time what ad to display on a device, based on your recent browsing history on websites or apps.

You would obviously prefer to see ads that match your areas of interest rather than ads that are irrelevant to you. Similarly, we want to ensure that we show ads that will be of interest to our users.
