As a business we use a number of Google services which enable us to understand you better which in turn means we deliver a more appropriate and relevant service to you. We may from time to time use remarketing tools within Google Analytics and implement the Google Display Network to advertise online which means third-party vendors, including Google, may show our adverts across the internet. We, and third-party vendors, including Google use first-party cookies (such as Google Analytics cookies) and third-party cookies (such as DoubleClick cookie) together to report how your ad impression and other uses and interactions relate to visits on our site.

The platforms may then start tracking your behaviour using cookies for their own purposes; for example, to better understand your interests so that they can present relevant content or advertising to you. Data about you may also be transmitted to the social media channel even if you do not click on the plug-in. The social media platforms will provide us with statistical information, which we use to help understand how you and our other users interact with our social medial presence. All these platforms provide you with some control over their use of non-essential tracking technology and you can find details of how to exercise this control by reviewing their privacy and cookie notices.
