Advertising cookies
These cookies give us an insight into an advert – whether you’ve seen a particular advert, a type of advert, and how long it has been since you’ve seen it.
We may also set anonymous cookies on certain other sites that we advertise on. If you receive one of those cookies, we may then use it to identify you as having visited that site if you later visit the Ambico Services website. We may then use this information to target our advertising.
We use the following software to set Advertising cookies:
• User experience cookies
We use the following software to enhance your user experience:

How do I turn cookies off?
It is usually possible to stop your browser accepting cookies, or to stop it accepting cookies from a website. However, this may affect your experience and lower the quality of it if you turn these off.
All modern browsers allow you to change your cookie settings. You can usually find these settings in the ‘options’ or ‘preferences’ menu of your browser. If you are primarily concerned about third party cookies generated by advertisers, you can turn these off by going to the Your Online Choices site.
You can also visit the trade body representing these advertising platforms for more information: Network Advertising Initiative. They have provided a site where you can control all third-party online advertising. Please note that there are many more networks listed on this site than those that we use at Ambico Services.
