Third Party Cookies
We use a range of 3rd party persistent cookies to identify the products you visit and to personalise off-network advertising so as to serve relevant and contextual advertising. These 3rd party cookies will assist us in collecting aggregated contextual data so as to serve more relevant content to you via programmatic channels. The cookies enable us to understand and improve the delivery of adverts to you, and know when certain ads have been shown to you. Since your web browser may request advertisements and web beacons directly from ad network partner servers, these networks can view, edit, or set their own cookies, just as if you had requested a web page from their site.
