- Our website emails and any advertisements may use “cookies” and other technologies such as pixel tags. These technologies help us to better understand user behaviour, tell us which parts of our websites people have visited, and facilitate and measure the effectiveness of our advertisements and web searches. We treat information collected by cookies and other technologies as non-personal information. However, to the extent the internet protocol (IP) addresses or similar identifiers are considered personal by local law, we also treat identifiers as personal information. Similarly, to the extent that non-personal information is combined with personal information, we treat combined information as personal information for the purposes of this privacy policy.
- We also use cookies and other technologies to remember personal information when you use our website and online services. We do this to make your online experience with us easier and more personal. For example, Knowing that you have searched for a particular product helps us make our advertising more relevant to you and your interests. And knowing your contact information, hardware identifiers and information about your computer helps us provide you with better customer service.
- As is true with most internet services, we gather information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, referring and exit websites and application, operating system, time and date stamp and clickstream data. We use this information to understand and analyse trends, to administer the site, to learn about user behaviour on the site, to improve our product and services and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. We may use this information in our marketing and advertising services.
- In some of our email messages, we may use a “click-through URL” linked to content on our website. When customers click one of these URL’s, they pass through a separate web server before reaching their destination on our website. We track this click-through data to help us determine interest in particular topics and measure effectiveness of our customer communications. If you prefer not to be tracked in this way, you should not click the link in the email message.
- Pixel tags tell us whether an email has been opened or a link has been clicked on to access our site.
