We use them to understand which areas and features are popular, measure visits to our website, recognize you as a returning visitor, and personalize your experience on the site based on your preferences. Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website by tracking which pages you find useful and which you do not.
We may also use cookies for targeting or advertising purposes. We may use web beacons on our website or in our emails. Web beacons are electronic images that can be used to deliver cookies, count visits, understand website usage, and determine whether an email has been opened or an action has been taken in response.

We use Google Analytics on our website to collect information about your online activity on the site, such as the pages you visit, the links you click, and the searches you perform.

Our Website Uses Cookies and Similar Technologies for Analytics and Marketing
This includes both Google Analytics and retargeting/remarketing cookies.
Google Analytics and Google Signals
Google Analytics will associate the visit information it collects from DS Smith services with information from users who are signed in and have consented to this association for personalized advertising. This information is collected through a service called Google Signals, also provided by Google.
Based on this information, Google Signals generates cross-device reports for us about Google users who have enabled personalized advertising on their accounts. Google information may include user location, search history, YouTube history, and data from websites that partner with Google – and is used to provide aggregated and anonymous insights into user behavior across devices.
If you want more information about the data collected by Google through this website, you can read Google's Privacy Policy. Users can access and/or delete their data via Google's My Activity page.
Retargeting / Remarketing Cookies
Our website uses retargeting/remarketing cookies. These cookies allow us to display advertisements to you on other websites based on your previous visits to our site. They work by uniquely identifying your browser and device.
If you do not allow these cookies, you will not see our targeted ads on other websites.
You can manage cookies through your browser settings.
