• Cookies used in our services

Google remarketing ads

The Google ad remarketing service allows users to create and manage their ads on the Google Display Network. If a user chooses to use this element, we will install a Google tracking pixel on that customer’s website via the Snippet. The snippet also allows the user’s website to set a cookie that will recognize website visitors through ads placed with the help of Google’s ad remarketing service.

These technologies facilitate the placement of promotional campaigns on the Google Display Network and allow us to provide reports to our clients regarding the performance of these promotional campaigns.

Facebook ads

The Facebook ad service allows our customers to post ads to subscribers and others through the Facebook platform. When a customer chooses to benefit from this service, we implement a Facebook monitoring pixel on the respective customer’s website through the Snippet.

The snippet allows the client’s website to implement a browser cookie that will recognize website visitors through ads placed through Facebook ad services. These monitoring technologies facilitate the management of promotional campaigns on the Facebook platform and allow us to provide clients with reports on the performance of these campaigns. Facebook does not offer the option to refuse these cookies. To refuse these cookies, check the instruction section below “How can I control cookies?”

Users who create landing pages will have the option to set cookies on the device of any visitor to those pages. When a user chooses to configure cookies, vbwarehouse.co.uk installs the Snippet on that user’s landing page to facilitate the implementation of the cookies chosen by that user.
