Cookie Policy

When you click on an ad from Microsoft Advertising (formerly Bing Ads), or when you view a video ad, a temporary cookie is placed on your computer or mobile device. When you complete an action we have defined, our system recognises the cookie (through a Universal Event Tracking code snippet we have added), and a conversion is recorded. Only pages containing the Microsoft ads conversion tag are tracked through this program.

The Microsoft UET will collect the IP address and the Microsoft cookie (with an expiration date of 13 months). This cookie contains a GUID assigned to the user’s browser, and/or an ID assigned to a user as long as it authenticated through their Microsoft account.

For more information about how Microsoft uses advertising cookies and how to change your privacy settings, visit the advertising section of the Microsoft Privacy Statement.

They also capture any information you may input on a form. Anonymous cookie tracking is used to identify your browsing IP, and associates this with the relevant UK company registered on Companies House.

Visitors or users are removed from the list by when membership expires, unless you use the website again (in this case the clock is reset for the set duration).
