Anonymous visitor statistics cookies
This site uses Google Analytics which is one of the most widespread and trusted analytics solution on the web for helping RSPH to understand how you use the the RSPH website and how your user experience can be improved.
These cookies may track things such as how long you spend on the site and the pages that you visit so RSPH can continue to produce engaging content.
Advertising cookies
Cookies are widely used in online advertising. Neither RSPH, advertisers or advertising partners can gain personally identifiable information from these cookies.
You can opt-out of almost all advertising cookies. It is also worth noting that opting out of advertising cookies will not mean you won't see adverts, just simply that they won't be tailored to you any longer.
RSPH uses the Google AdSense service to serve advertising and this uses a DoubleClick cookie to serve more relevant ads across the web and limit the number of times that a given ad is shown to you.
Remarketing cookies
You may notice that sometimes after visiting a site you see increased numbers of adverts from the site you visited. This is because advertisers, including RSPH pay for these adverts. The technology to do this is made possible by cookies and as such RSPH may place a so called 'remarketing cookie' during your visit.
RSPH uses these adverts to offer special offers etc to encourage you to come back to the RSPH website. RSPH is unable to proactively reach out to you as the whole process is entirely anonymised. You can opt out of these cookies at anytime as explained above.
