Third party cookies for advertising. Our websites and marketing emails carry advertising. A certain amount of this advertising is tailored to the individual user, as practice known as “Online Behavioral 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 the limited information available to it 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, Glamcult may share this annonymised 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 Glamcult or you may be served advertising based on your behaviour on other sites.
Behavioural retargeting is another form of Online Behaviourial 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 is allows companies to advertise to website visitors who leave their website without making a purchase.
If you want to opt out of receiving Online Behaviourial 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.
