Whenever this happens, we ensure that personal data is transferred securely, using safeguards recognised by the UK and EU - such as the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework where the receiving party is certified under it, or Standard Contractual Clauses where it is not.
Cookies and Analytics
We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, and (where you've consented, or where consent isn't required in your region) to understand how the site is used and measure our advertising. Our Cookie Policy lists exactly what we use and why, and explains your choices.
Where we use analytics tools such as Google Analytics and Meta Pixel, we use them to understand aggregate visitor behaviour and improve the Services, and we do not use them to identify you individually. Additionally, your IP address is automatically saved in the log files of our web server, which is necessary to manage and secure the Services properly; we do not use it to track your behaviour online.
