3.3. Retargeting technologies

Our website uses retargeting technology (Google Remarketing). This provides us with the opportunity to advertise directly to our visitors on other websites. On the basis of interest shown in our website by visitors, we believe that the display of personal, interest-based advertising is of more interest to our customers than adverts that do not have a personal connection.
