- Cookies in emails
4.1 We may also use cookies and similar technologies in some emails. These can tell us whether you open an email and how you interacted with it. If you have enabled images, cookies may be set on your computer or device. Cookies will also be set if you click on any link within the email. The technology types we may use are:
(a) Web beacons: tiny, invisible images placed in emails to tell us whether you open them (and if so how often), how you interact with them (for example the time you spend reading the email), which email software and web browser you used, which device you used and your IP address. We also use web beacons to help us display emails in the best format for your device.
(b) Link tracking: our emails may contain several hyperlinks, each with a unique tag. When you click on a tagged link the mailing company will log the click so that we can understand who has clicked through from an email to our website. We may use this information to tailor future messages to you.
(c) Cookies: our process for delivering emails may cause cookies to be set when you download images or when you click on a link.
5.1 How to control email cookies
5.2 If you don't want to accept cookies from our emails, just close the email before clicking on any links or downloading any images. You can also alter your browser settings to restrict or reject cookies. These settings will apply to all cookies on websites and emails.
5.3 Depending on your email or browser settings, cookies in an email may be automatically accepted, eg if you've added an email address to your address book or safe senders list. Check your email browser or device instructions for more information.
