Personalised advertising on other websites (Google)
This type of advertising is designed to show you products and ads based on what you have viewed on this website. These advertisements are presented to you by our partners when you visit other websites, including Google. The adverts may highlight alternative products as well as products deemed relevant to your browsing history. The technology behind these adverts is based on cookies.

Please be assured that the data contained in the cookie used in these adverts is completely anonymous and doesn't contain any of your personal details. We also work with Google to place adverts in a similar way on sites, in their search engine and on Youtube – you can see more information about their use of data here.
