Google AdWords
Google AdWords is a service, provided by Google, that allows an advertiser to place their ads in the search engine results and the google advertising network. The advertiser must use pre-set “keywords” and supply a relevant ad to be shown in the search results, when a user searches for those specific keywords. Google's automatic algorithm will assess the relevance of the ads in conjunction with the keywords and the landing page; only allowing the most relevant ads to be shown at the top of the search results. In the Google Advertising Network, Google uses another algorithm to distribute relevant ads onto relevant web pages, according to those keywords. Remarketing allows the advertiser to display additional adverts, on participating websites, after the user has left the advertisers website without converting.
When a user clicks through to our website from a Google ad, a tracking cookie is placed on the user's web browser. This cookie will hold information on the user for up to 30 days before expiring. This information can include I.P addresses, Web browsers used, pages visited, and actions completed but it is completely anonymous - neither Load Solutions or Google receive any information that could identify the user. Each time the user visits our website this data is transferred to Google in the USA and stored for statistical purposes. Google may pass the data on to third parties.
The user can deny the use of cookies, at any time, by changing the settings in their web browser. They can also delete existing cookies, if they so wish. Denying and deleting cookies may affect the functionality of certain websites, including ours, across the World Wide Web.
