We publish products from a number of affiliate websites who use affiliate cookies and online identifiers to ensure our advertising campaigns function properly and can be measured on devices (computers, mobiles, tablets etc.) including:
Session cookies which expire and are deleted when you close your browser. They include pseudonymous or completely anonymous references which allow us to understand whether a user made a purchase straight after clicking on one of our advertiser’s links.
Persistent cookies which are set to remain on your computer for a set period of time. They use pseudonymous or completely anonymous references and allow us to understand if a user came back to make a purchase having previously clicked on one of our advertisers’ links. They also allow us to join data together over a period of time (6 months) to understand which advertising campaigns have contributed to or led to subsequent outcomes (e.g. clicks and sales).
