Marketing & Advertising Cookies

Third-party cookies are used for all behavioural reporting and advertising. Every time a user visits our site, software provided by another organisation will generate a behaviour analytics cookie. These cookies allow us to know whether you’ve seen an advert, as well as the type of advert and how long it has been since you’ve seen it.

These cookies help us use targeted advertising much more effectively. We may use cookies set by another organisation so we can more accurately target advertising to you. For example, we may show adverts about garden sheds if you have recently visited the garden sheds section of our site. These cookies are anonymous – they store information about what you are looking at on our site, but not about who you are.
