First party cookies are those set by the website you visited. All other cookies are third party.

We only work with trusted partners when using third party cookies. These include performance cookies, which help us track visits or revenue to partner websites, analytics cookies (i.e. Google Analytics) which help us understand how much web traffic or app traffic we are receiving, and marketing cookies (e.g. LinkedIn, Google) which help us track the performance of our marketing campaigns, remarket similar products or services to you (including via social media), and create 'lookalike' audiences to find new customers. If you view content (i.e. a video) powered by a third party on our website (i.e. Vimeo) they will set their own cookies on your browser. All our partners have their own cookie policies, which you can refer to.

If you prefer not to see online advertising that markets products or services to you based on your online behaviour, you can visit one of these websites to opt out of interest based advertising from many companies, some of whom we work with https://optout.networkadvertising.orghttps://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices
