<p>They tell us when and how many times you've visited the site, how long you've spent on there and what you've got up to.
We then use that data to personalise your shopping experience, making sure that everything we show you is relevant to your interests.</p>
<p>For example, if you visit maplin.co.uk and look at a smart home thermostat we could use cookies to show you ads about smart home thermostats on promotion.
Third-party cookies work by sharing your browser identification with the third party (like Twitter or Facebook), so they can show you the same ads on their sites.</p>

<b>Cookies never store your bank details.</b>
