Third party advertising cookies

Some adverts on our pages come from third party sources such as advertisers (Google.com, Laterooms.com, Facebook.com); some of these third parties use their own cookies to track how many people have seen a particular ad, or to track how many people have seen it more than once. The companies that generate these cookies have their own, very strict, privacy policies, and we have no access to read or write these cookies. We may also allow certain business partners to place these technologies on the upnorthdownsouth website. These partners may also collect information about your activities on the upnorthdownsouth website, and/or the ads you have clicked on. For example, to help us better understand how people use the upnorthdownsouth website, we work with Google Analytics.

Third parties may also use such tracking technologies to serve ads that they believe are most likely to be of interest to you and measure the effectiveness of their ads both on the upnorthdownsouth website and on other websites and online services. Targeting and advertising cookies we use may include Google, and other advertising networks and services we use from time to time.
