Last updated: 18 August 2021

This notice talks about the cookies and similar tracking technologies that we use across the websites we operate and all the services we provide to you.

What cookies / tracking technologies do we use?

A cookie is a small text file that’s placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit our website. We, and some of our partners and third-party service providers, may use a few different types of cookies. Some are persistent cookies (cookies that remain on your hard drive for an extended period of time) and some are session ID cookies (cookies that expire when you close your browser).

We also use other tracking technologies like web beacons (sometimes called “tracking beacons” or “clear gifs”) and local storage. These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognise when someone has visited our website or opened an email that we have sent them.

Why do we use cookies/tracking technologies?

Even though they’re not as exciting as the round, sugary and delicious variety, these types of cookies and tracking technologies are still important. They help us to do awesome things like operate our website and services, enhance and customise your experience across our website and services, perform analytics and deliver advertising and marketing that’s relevant to you.

There are also cookies set by third parties across our website and services. Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through our website and services, such as interactive content and analytics. They also enable us to use advertising networks to manage our advertising on other websites.
