Other tracking technologies

We use clear image files, pixel tags and other similar technology on our Platforms and embedded within emails we send to you. These files are small graphics with a unique identifier, with a similar function to, and often used in combination with, cookies. We may use pixel tags and similar technology, in connection with the Platforms to, among other things, track the activities of Platform visitors, help us manage content, and compile statistics about usage of the Platforms.

In order to understand your journey across multiple devices (such as your laptop and mobile) and personalise our Platforms, we use aggregated data provided by third party digital platforms about your interaction with us across multiple devices, based on your log-ins into relevant third party services.
