3. HOW WE USE COOKIES AND TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES
We use some cookies and tracking technologies for purposes which are strictly necessary for your use of our Digital Services. These may include, for example, cookies which remember your preferences and settings; which remember information that you may enter online (so that it does not have to be re-entered every time you move to another page); or to keep you logged in to portals that we may offer where you wish this to happen.
With your consent we may also use cookies and tracking technologies for other purposes, such as the generation of aggregate statistics about how users use our Digital Services; for error management and troubleshooting; to help you share content with others; to enable you to receive information about other products and services; and to improve your experience of the Digital Services.
3.1 Performance Cookies
Where you have permitted the use of performance cookies, we use Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provider by Google LLC. We use Google Analytics 4 to collect statistical information about how our Digital Services are used. Google Analytics services involve the use of cookies that collect information such as your IP address or other identifiers, browser information, and information about the content you view and interact with to record how you use our Digital Services.
Please note that we only collect the specific data elements through Google Analytics 4, such as approximate location (country and region only), events (e.g. user journey, click path), IP address (in shortened form), language setting, and referrer URL. These analytics services help us to know how many users we have, which parts of our sites are most popular, what browsers are used (so we can maximize compatibility), the country or region where our users are located, and the demographics and interests of our users. This enables us to better understand who is using our Digital Services and to improve how we present content on the Digital Services.

3.2 Functional Cookies
Where you have permitted the use of functional cookies, we may use the Sitecore consent IPtrack cookie to tailor our Digital Services based on your general location. This cookie stores an identifier representing device location and a true/false value indicating whether the system classified the visitor as human or automated (robot or not robot). Sitecore does not exercise any control over and will not store, and has no permission to retain, IP Address or IP Geolocation Data, as part of its provision of services.
Please note that we only use users’ country, state and city information.
Further information about this Sitecore cookie can be found here.
3.3 Advertising Cookies
With your consent we may give you the option to share content from the Digital Services on social networks or other communications channels. To support this, we may link to AddThis, a company that provides content sharing services. AddThis may set cookies or other tracking technologies on your computer or device. Please see the AddThis privacy policy for more information. With your consent to advertising cookies, we may enable features that allow you to share content from our Digital Services on social networks or communication channels. We may also deploy the LinkedIn Insight, a tag or pixel that allows us to measure user activity on our Digital Services through LinkedIn’s advertising system and the personal data LinkedIn holds. This enables us to receive aggregated reports about visitors to our Digital Services who have a LinkedIn account and to deliver relevant advertising on LinkedIn. Please note, that LinkedIn itself does not supply to us the identity of the users concerned.
Certain features within our Digital Services, such as embedded videos or podcasts, may be offered by or direct you to third parties when you use the feature. Third parties may obtain information about you when you use such features. The third parties’ use of your information, including their deployment of cookies and tracking technologies, is subject to their respective privacy policies.
