Remarketing
This website utilises remarketing services such as, but not limited to, Google AdWords, Facebook and LinkedIn to advertise on third party websites (including Google) to previous visitors to our site. It could mean that we
advertise to previous visitors who haven’t completed a task on our site, for example, using the contact form to
make an enquiry. This could be in the form of an advertisement on the Google search results page or a site in the Google Display Network. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on someone’s past visits to a website. Any data collected will be used in accordance with our own privacy policy and Google’s privacy policy. You may opt out from Google using cookies to advertise to you by changing your ad settings in your browser or downloading a Chrome Extension. Opting out of interest-based advertising does not mean you will no longer see advertising online. It does mean that the companies from which you opt out will no longer show ads that have been tailored to your interests.
