What are cookies?
Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which
are downloaded to your device when you visit a website. Cookies are
then sent back to the originating web domain on your subsequent
visits to that domain. Most web pages contain elements from multiple
web domains so when you visit our website your browser may receive
cookies from several sources.
Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognise a user’s
device. Cookies allow you to navigate between pages efficiently,
remember preferences and generally improve the user experience.
They can also be used to tailor advertising to your interests through
tracking your browsing across websites.
Session cookies are deleted automatically when you close your
browser and persistent cookies remain on your device after the
browser is closed (for example to remember your user preferences
when you return to the site).
Use of IP addresses and web logs
We may also use your IP address and browser type to help diagnose
problems with our server, to administer our website and to improve
the service we offer to you. An IP address is a numeric code that
identifies your computer on the internet. Your IP address might also
be used to gather broad demographic information.
We may perform IP lookups to determine which domain you are
coming from (eg google.com) to more accurately gauge our users’
demographics.
Information from these types of cookies and technologies is not
combined with information about you from any other source and will
not personally identify you.
HTML email web beacons and webinars
Our marketing related emails contain a single, campaign-unique “web
beacon pixel” to tell us whether our emails are opened and combined
with other technology verify any clicks through to links within the
email. We may use this information for purposes including
determining which of our emails are more interesting to you and to
query whether users who do not open our emails wish to continue
receiving them. The pixel will be deleted when you delete the email.
If you do not wish the pixel to be downloaded to your device, you
should choose not to click links that we send you. This information
may be connected to your personal identity.
Where you subscribe to our webinar service, the accompanying emails
similarly include a pixel. We track your interaction with these emails
and our webinars to validate attendance for accreditation purposes
and to help determine which information is of interest to you as
described above.
Cookies policy does not cover third party websites
Please note that this cookies policy does not apply to, and we are not
responsible for, the privacy practices of third party websites which
may be linked to or accessible through this website.

the policy from time to time to stay informed of how we are using cookies.
