This includes showing you adverts we think may interest you based on the pages you visit on our site, limiting the number of times that a given ad is shown to you, and removing those who have already registered with the National Education Nature Park and Climate Action Awards from future registration campaigns. 

We may also use the information collected by these cookies to help inform how we communicate with other users with a similar web browsing profile to those who have visited the site.
