Google offers an opt-out tool available at http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin which allows you to opt out of the DoubleClick cookie.

This will not stop advertisements appearing, but will mean they will not be tailored to your interests, and will prevent your anonymous browsing habits being recorded. You can also customise your advertisement preferences by opting in at   http://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb.

Premier Houseboats have no control over these third party cookies.

Why am I not being asked to store cookies?

Premier houseboats do not have a large corporate IT department and considering at time of this law being introduced many public service websites such as http://www.direct.gov.uk did not have this functionality in place! Premier Houseboats welcome any assistance from the EU or British government to provide further details on how to implement this requirement and will adhere fully and promptly once further details are provided. Premier houseboats have therefore made all attempts to adhere to this law.
