As an example, suppose you visit a website that sells computers, but you do not buy a computer on your first visit to that website. The website\u2019s owner might like to encourage you to revisit his\/her website and buy a computer by showing you his\/her ads again on other websites that you visit. We use remarketing for similar purposes. For this to happen, Google will read a cookie that is already in your browser, or they place a cookie in your browser when you visit our website or other websites using remarketing.
