These cookies enable us to show you personalised and improved advertisements from us, so that advertisements are more in line with your needs. In addition, we can use information from other web-sites, which means you may also come across our advertisements on other websites.

Specifically, these cookies enable us to do the following:

• keep track of which advertisements you have already seen;
• keep track of how often you have already seen an advertisement;
• keep you from seeing the same advertisement repeatedly;
• keep track of whether you click on the advertisements;
• keep track of whether you visit our websites or the App or Play Store after being shown an advertisement and clicking on it;
• combine your online surfing and searching behaviour regardless of the device you use;
• by combining these characteristics, we can assess your interest in advertisements and ad-just the advertisements we show you on third-party websites accordingly.
