COOKIES AND WEB USE TOOLS

To improve our business, A Perfect Space uses a variety of tracking technologies such as cookies to recognise you each time you visit our Website, as well as to track which pages are visited and what you look at on our Website.  A “Cookie” is a piece of information that our web server may send to your device when you visit our Website.

A Cookie helps us to recognise you when you re-visit our Website and to co-ordinate your access to different pages on our Website.

Without limiting the previous paragraphs, in particular our Website uses third party Cookies from ‘Google Analytics for Display Advertisers’, including the following features:

  • Google Display Network Impression Reporting – which gives us additional insight into who has viewed our paid digital advertising on other websites. This will help us optimise and tailor our advertising.
  • DoubleClick Platform Integrations & Remarketing with Google Analytics – the integrations between both our web analytics and paid advertising platforms together give us additional insight. This allows us to tailor our advertising to ensure the right types and offers are shown to you while you are using the internet outside our
    Website.
  • Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting – which gives us insight into behaviour information relating to visitor age, gender and interests on an anonymous and aggregate level. This will help us to understand browsing behaviour to give you a better experience whilst visiting our Website.
