INTEREST-BASED ONLINE ADVERTISING AND GOOGLE ANALYTICS

We use this to understand how our site is being used in order to improve the user experience. All data collected is anonymous. Further information on Google Analytics can be found at: Google Analytics Privacy Overview.

We may sometimes use Google Analytics’ third-party audience data such as age, gender and interests to better understanding the behaviour of our customers and work with companies that collect information about your online activities to provide advertising targeted to suit your interests and preferences. 

You may opt out of the automated collection of information by third-party ad networks for the purpose of delivering advertisements tailored to your interests, by visiting the consumer opt-out page for the Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioural Advertising at www.aboutads.info/choices and edit or opt-out your Google Display Network ads’ preferences at www.google.com/ads/preferences. Because those opt-out and preference control pages are specific to the individual browser used to visit it, and because that page is not operated by John Julian, we are unable to perform the opt-outs on your behalf.

Please be are that if you have opted out of receiving our email marketing communications via the methods described above, you may still see our non-targeted adverts whilst you are online.
