Cookies
We may use cookies, tracking pixels and similar technologies on our website and in our emails from time to time. Cookies
are text files placed in your computer's browser to store your preferences. Tracking pixels are tiny, invisible images
(typically the size of one pixel) embedded in web pages or emails. Cookies and tracking pixels, by themselves, do not tell us
your email address or other personally identifiable information. However, they do recognise you when you return to our
online website and allow third parties to cause our advertisements to appear on your social media and online media feeds
as part of our retargeting campaigns. If and when you choose to provide our online website with personal information, this
information may be linked to the data stored in the cookie or collected by tracking pixels. Unlike cookies, tracking pixels do
not store any information on your device, but instead send information to our servers when the pixel is loaded.
You can block cookies by activating the setting on your browser that allows you to refuse the setting of all or some cookies.
You can block tracking pixels by using ad-blocking or privacy-focused browser extensions. Some email providers allow you
to block images by default, which can prevent tracking pixels in emails from loading.
However, if you use your browser settings to block all cookies (including essential cookies) and tracking pixels you may not
be able to access all or parts of our website and you may not receive personalised content.
Google Analytics: We may use Google Analytics Advertising Features. We and third-party vendors may use first-party
cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) or other first-party identifiers, and third-party cookies (such as Google
advertising cookies) or other third-party identifiers together. These cookies and identifiers may collect Technical and Usage
Data about you.
You can opt-out of Google Analytics Advertising Features including using a Google Analytics Opt-out Browser add-on found
here. To opt-out of personalised ad delivery on the Google content network, please visit Google’s Ads Preferences Manager
here or if you wish to opt-out permanently even when all cookies are deleted from your browser you can install their plugin
here. To opt out of interest-based ads on mobile devices, please follow these instructions for your mobile device: On
android open the Google Settings app on your device and select “ads” to control the settings. On iOS devices with iOS 6 and
above use Apple’s advertising identifier. To learn more about limiting ad tracking using this identifier, visit the settings
menu on your device.
