These cookies are linked to services provided by third parties (our advertising partners).

Third party cookies for advertising. Many of our websites and marketing emails carry advertising. A certain amount of this advertising is tailored to the individual user, as practice known as​“Online Behavioural Advertising” which uses cookies to discover general information about the pages you visit. This keeps many of our websites and services you use free of charge. The tracking system is anonymised and therefore it does not know who you are; it simply uses your behaviour on sites to serve adverts to you, which it believes are relevant. It does not collect personal information such as your name, email address postal address or telephone number.

From time to time, Wasted Talent may share this anonymised behavioural data with our advertising partners. This could mean that when you are on other websites you are served advertising based on your behaviour across Wasted Talent titles or you may be served advertising based on your behaviour on other sites.

Behavioural retargeting is another form of Online Behavioural Advertising that enables us and some of our advertising partners to show you adverts based on browsing patterns and interactions with the site away from our sites. This allows companies to advertise to website visitors who leave their website without making a purchase.

If you want to opt out of receiving Online Behavioural Advertising this does not mean that you will no longer receive advertising when you are using our sites. It just means that the advertising you see will not be customised for you. If you would like more information about onsite behavioural targeting and how to opt out of it, please visit www​.youron​line​choic​es​.com or you can also visit http://​www​.net​workad​ver​tis​ing​.org/.
