Interest-based ads

What are interest-based ads?

They're sometimes called personalised or targeted ads. Essentially we look at how you interact with our website content. We show you products and services that might be of interest to you to make your shopping experience with us a relevant and easy one.

How do interest-based ads work?

Like nearly all online businesses we use cookies, pixels, and other technologies (collectively, "cookies"), which help us measure what you view or click. This means we can provide you with more useful and relevant information.

We never use personally identifiable information such as your name or email to serve interest-based ads. We keep within the law and in line with our privacy notice.

Efficient Stationers adverts on third party websites

You might see Efficient Stationers adverts elsewhere online. This is because we work with third parties, such as ad serving companies and search engines to show you interest-based ads elsewhere online.

We won't share any personally identifiable information to third parties that display our interest-based ads. They may use cookies to measure the effectiveness of their ads, show you more relevant advertising content, and perform services on behalf of Efficient Stationers.
