We analyse your IP and browser information to determine what is most effective about our website, to help us identify ways to improve it and make it more effective. Please see our Cookie Policy for more information.
Marketing
Where you have consented to receiving marketing communications from us, through our Email Preference Centre or otherwise, we will use your personal data to send you targeted emails for direct marketing purposes.
We send commercial emails to individuals at our client or other companies with whom we want to develop or maintain a business relationship in accordance with applicable marketing laws. This may include information about events, thought leadership, surveys and topical updates.
Our targeted email messages typically include web beacons, cookies, and similar technologies that allow us to know whether you open, read, or delete the message, and links you may click.
When you click a link in a marketing email you receive from us, we will also use a cookie to log what pages you view and what content you download from our websites, even if you are not registered at or signed into our site.

How do we keep personal data secure?
The processing of an individual’s personal data will be done in accordance with the UK or EU (as applicable) General Data Protection Regulation and any other legislation which is relevant to data protection in the United Kingdom or Ireland. Access to personal data will be limited to authorised individuals on a strictly need to know basis.
We regularly review all our systems, policies and technologies to ensure that these continue to work effectively to protect your personal data. We ensure that our staff receive regular training on information security and data protection.
