Cookies in email
This section explains more about the technologies we use to review how you interact with emails we send you. It explains why we do this, and how you can stop it.
We review how you interact with emails we send you by using small images that you cannot see called ‘pixels’ within our emails. These pixels allow us to capture some information about emails we’ve sent you, such as:
- When you opened the email,
- How many times you opened it, and
- The device you used to open it.
This is called ‘email tracking’. We use this information to help us understand how effective our emails are, and to improve our communications with you. The pixel stays in the email, but leaves nothing else on your device.
How to stop Email Tracking
You can stop this by:
- Closing the email before you download any images.
- Setting your browser or email program to restrict or block our emails. Sometimes your browser or email program setting will automatically download images. For more details on this, you’ll need to read the instructions for your browser, email program or device.
How to stop Email Tracking for marketing purposes
You can stop this by opting out from marketing emails by reviewing your marketing choices. You can review your marketing choices in a few ways:
- by managing your account online; or
- by contacting us
