Advertising Cookies
Cookies are used everywhere in online ads. None of us, advertisers, or affiliates of the advertisers can retrieve personally identifiable information from these cookies. We only work with ad partners who have accepted the privacy by default.
You can read more about online advertising at http://www.youronlinechoices.com You can opt out of almost all ad cookies at http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices Although we ask you to not do that because the ads eventually help us to offer the site for free. It is also important to realise that if you do not accept cookies, this does not mean that you do not see ads, it simply means they are no longer being customised.

Banner Ads
We pay our website by displaying ads if you browse our site. These ads are usually managed by a partner that specialises in displaying ads on multiple websites. All of these partners place cookies that collect anonymous data about the websites you visit to show you personal ads, ensuring that the same ads are not shown too often and let their advertisers know which ads work.

Turn off Cookies
Typically, you can turn off cookies by adjusting browser settings that prevent cookies from being accepted (learn how to disable cookies). Turning off the cookies probably also eliminates many functionality of the websites because cookies form part of many modern websites.
You may also be concerned about cookies related to “spyware”. Instead of disabling cookies in your browser, there is anti-spyware software that works better. This software can automatically delete cookies that they consider to be offensive. There are several anti-spyware programs on the Internet.
