Tailored advertising

We use advertising to fund some of our websites and apps. Some advertising is “contextual” meaning it is shown due to the particular webpage you are presently viewing. Other advertising, known as “online behavioral advertising” is shown to you based upon your likely interests, which are inferred from your device’s browsing history. This information is collected through the use of cookies and similar technologies. For more information on controlling your tailored advertising preferences, please see Section 10 on Cookies below. Sometimes we allow advertisers to show advertisements directly on our website and apps, which are tailored to you based upon information they have obtained, such as your browsing history on their own websites. Other times we will arrange for our customers to be shown advertisements on our own or other websites or apps. These advertisements are tailored to you with information we have obtained from your browsing on our websites and apps via cookies. Where we arrange for our customers to be shown advertisements, we use technological and contractual mechanisms to protect your cookie data and to ensure that your browsing data used for advertising is not used by advertisers or other website owners for other purposes, such as linking online behavioral advertising data with your contact details, unless you have provided the advertiser or other website with your express permission to do this. When you are shown an advertisement, our advertising systems do not know who you are or your contact details (such as your name, email address or postal address). Demographic information from your registration on our websites and apps (such as your age, gender and city) may also be used to tailor the advertising we arrange to be shown. Your demographic information is not shared with advertisers. We may also target advertising on social media sites to specifically include customers who have registered for our products and services.

We use such information to provide you with a more tailored, relevant experience when using our websites/apps.
