Other technologies
Web beacons
We embed web beacons in our marketing emails. Web beacons are small GIF image files which enable us to track your receipt of our marketing emails, your location, IP address, date and time associated with each open and click for a campaign. Web beacons are activated whenever you open a marketing email that contains a web beacon. Web beacons transmit data when you view them but are not capable of accessing any other information on your computer. Web beacons are not stored on your hard drive unless you download a GIF image containing them.
Some email clients enable you to restrict the use of web beacons by either preventing them from sending information back to their source or by not accessing the images containing them (for example, if you select a ‘do not display images’ setting on your email server).
How to opt in or out
See the section below entitled How to accept or reject cookies
Legal basis for processing: we process the information we gather from the use of web beacons in our legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) of the General Data Protection Regulation).
Legitimate interest: analyzing the effectiveness of our email marketing campaigns to help us improve our business.
