Affiliate Lead Tracking

We use a range of third parties to promote our website. We use these cookies so that, when you reach our website through one of our third parties, we can identify the third party and therefore meet our contractual commitments to that third party.

Behind the scenes, we use Google Analytics to give us insights into how you interact with our website and to support display advertising. The advertising includes the display, by third parties such as Google, of adverts across the internet. The adverts include adverts based on your past visits to our website.

We sometimes conduct advertising campaigns using DoubleClick, a Google service.

We and third-party vendors, including Google, use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) and third-party cookies (such as the Google DoubleClick cookie) together to:

§  inform, optimise and serve ads based on someone's past visits to our website;

§  report how ad impressions, other uses of ad services and interactions with these ad impressions and ad services are related to visits to our site.

If you do not wish to allow the use of Google Analytics for advertising, you can opt out using the Google Ad Settings.

If you do not wish to allow the use of Google Analytics cookies at all, Google provides an opt-out plug-in for most common website browsers http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

We use Adobe Analytics to give us insights into how many people visit our website, and how you interact with it.

Cookies are used to help us to better estimate the number of individual anonymous visitors to our website. There are two types of cookies that may be used: session and persistent. Session cookies exist only during your online session. They disappear from your computer when you close the browser software. Persistent cookies remain on your computer after the browser has been closed.

Adobe Test&Target

We use Adobe Test&Target to optimise and personalise certain pages on the website.

Test&Target does not collect personally identifiable information. Test&Target collects at a minimum, visitors, clicks and conversions for all tests. All data captured by Test&Target is linked to a visitor ID, but there is no personal data related to that visitor ID. At an aggregate level, Test&Target tracks the success metrics defined in a campaign. This data is not available at an individual visitor level.

Creditsafe’s implementation of Test&Target does not allow any user’s activity to be tracked beyond Creditsafe’s own websites.

Test&Target cookies are identified by their “mbox_” prefix.
