email from us or visit our site in future.
We are able to do this by including web beacons (also known as clear GIFs or web
bugs) in our emails. We use cookies and web beacons so that we can identify our
users and personalise the site and our services whenever possible and to track the
success of our marketing campaigns. The devices store small pieces of information
about visitors which means that on future visits to our site, we can identify past
visitors and welcome them back and that if you open an email from us we can see
which pages of our site you visit.

Our web beacons do not store additional information on your computer but, by communicating
with our cookies on your computer, they can tell us when you have opened our email.
If you object to web beacons, we recommend that you follow the instructions for
deleting existing cookies and disabling future cookies. We will still know how many
of our emails are opened and we will automatically receive your IP address, a unique
identifier of your computer or other access device; but we will not identify you
as an individual. With or without web beacons, your IP address may also be logged
when you visit our site.
