Surveys, competitions and free services

We will sometimes offer surveys, competitions or free services on our sites. Unless otherwise expressly indicated at the point where your personal information is being entered, we will never use your personal information for marketing purposes or share it with third parties or affiliated companies.

Any personal information you provide to us will be stored on an internal database that is only accessible to our privacy officer. This database is not accessible to the Internet, and will never be made available to third parties or affiliated companies.

As part of our commitment to providing you with easy-to-understand information, we would like to explain the tracking technologies that we use across our websites and the services we offer to you.

What are cookies, web beacons and similar technologies?

Typically, there are two types of tracking technologies we might use on our sites:

  • Cookies: are small data files sent from a server to your web browser or mobile device that is stored on your browser cache or mobile device. There are ways you can control your cookies preferences and set whether you want to accept or reject cookies (see what your options are below).
  • Clear gifs, web beacons (or tracking beacons), web bugs: These are tiny graphics with a unique identifier similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the movements of web users between pages and websites. Unlike cookies, which are cached on a user’s computer, clear gifs, web beacons and web bugs are embedded invisibly on web pages and are about the size of a single pixel.

  • We also partner with third-party services who may use various tracking technologies to provide certain services or features on our sites, which can include advertising, interactive content, analytics and on-site messaging. These third-party services use cookies to anonymously collect data and allow them to recognize your computer or mobile device each time you visit any of our sites. No personally identifiable information is collected by these cookies. The anonymous data they collect is kept separate from the personal information about you as a user that we collect.
