To try and ensure that the ads you see are relevant to you third party cookies may be used to collect information about the types of things that interest you — for example, websites you visit and the geography that you are based in. Having these cookies does not increase the number of ads you will be shown, but simply makes the ads you see more relevant. Please see our “Third Party Cookies” section below for more details.
