These cookies help us to analyse activities on our sites, and on other sites where we post content, to improve and optimise the way our sites work. For example, we may use these types of cookies to ensure that visitors can easily find the information they are looking for on our sites by counting the number of visitors and how they move around our sites when they are using them.

These cookies also help us measure the performance of our advertising campaigns to help us optimise our sites’ content for those who engage with our advertising.

Cookies and other technologies record your online activities, including your visits to our sites, the pages you have visited, and the links and advertisements you have clicked. This is helpful to us because:

  • It allows us to make the content more relevant to you.

  • It allows us and our service providers to deliver advertisements or other communications to you that are designed to be more relevant to you.

We and our service providers and partners may also append other data to information collected by these cookies, including information obtained from third parties, and share this information with third parties for the purpose of delivering relevant advertisements to you.

Embedded pixels and similar technologies

Our sites and our service providers may use embedded pixel technologies for the purposes of identifying unique user visits (as opposed to aggregate hits) and for advertising purposes.

The pixel technology used in the sites enables the synchronisation of internal unique identifiers between our sites and our third-party partners to facilitate interest-based advertising.
