13. Facebook Ads

13.1 We may use Facebook advertising services to deliver content to you while you are using the Facebook platform. You can control how Facebook uses data to show you ads by turning off ads which may be based on interests and / or your relationship with specific advertisers, in your ad preference settings.

13.2 Please note that even when you have opted out via the methods described above, you may still see our non-targeted adverts whilst you are online if your interests’ settings on Facebook are aligned to an audience segment (pre-defined by Facebook) which our business is also associated with. We do not control this.
