Email tracking: To help us to understand whether you’ve opened an email we use Web Beacons. Web beacons are tiny, invisible images placed in emails to tell us whether you’ve opened them and how often, how you interacted with them, which email software and web browser you used, which device you used and your IP address. We also use web beacons to help us display emails in the best format for your device.
Link tracking: Our emails contain a number of hyperlinks which have a unique ID. When you click on one of these we log the click so that we can understand who has clicked through from an email to our website. We use this information to tailor future emails.
Cookies: Emails may cause cookies to be set when you download images or when you click on a link.
Choosing whether to accept Cookies: If you choose not to accept cookies through email you can unsubscribe from our mailing list. You can also disable cookies through your browser settings.
