​

We use cookies and similar technologies on this website and on our customer, partner & charity portals.

Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information, which your computer or mobile device downloads when you visit a website. When you return to websites – or visit websites that use the same cookies – they recognise these cookies and therefore your browsing device.

​

Like most websites, we use cookies to do lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences and generally improving your browsing experience. They can also help ensure that ads you see online are more relevant to you and your interests. We also use similar technologies such as pixel tags and JavaScript to undertake these tasks.

​

If you visit our website, we will deploy these technologies to provide an online service more suited to the device you connect from. When you visit our website from any device (mobile, tablet or PC), we collect information about your use of this site, such as information about the device or browser you use to access the site (including device type, operating system, screen resolution etc.), the way you interact with this site, and the IP address your device connects from.

​

We use cookies to:

• Provide you with ads that are more relevant to you and your interests, and improve our targeting and enhance your journey through our sites and partner sites

• Improve our understanding of how you navigate through our sites so we can identify improvements

• Evaluate our sites' advertising and promotional effectiveness (we own the anonymous data collected and don't share it with anyone); and

• We use both our own (first-party) and partner companies' (third-party) cookies to support these activities

​

Cookies in emails

In addition to the cookies we use on this website, we may also use cookies and similar technologies in some emails.
