Web beacons
Webpages or HTML emails may contain an electronic file called a web beacon (also known as clear gifs or tracking pixels), which allows us to count users who have visited that page or to access certain cookies. We include web beacons in marketing emails to help determine which emails were opened (including by people to whom you forward the email) and to record whether links were clicked on. This helps us assess the effectiveness of our marketing communications and to ensure we are sending people information which they find useful.
You cannot opt out of or refuse web beacons. However, where they are used in conjunction with cookies you can stop them by opting out of cookies. For details on how to do this, please see ‘How to adjust your browser settings’ above. We will not know if you open an email if you do not download images when viewing one of our HTML emails, or if you choose to receive emails from us in plain text. If you use an Apple device/mail app with an up-to-date operating system, Apple will mask your opens or click throughs. Please see this Apple press release for further information.
Traffic data
We keep a record of traffic data which is logged automatically by the server. This includes your IP address, the website address you visited before ours, the website address you visit after leaving our website and which pages you visit on our website. We do not store or analyse this traffic data in a way that identifies any individual or conduct any other form of device fingerprinting. We keep traffic data for seven days.
