Every email we send to you contains small gif files known as tracking pixels.

These are small graphic files that contain unique identifiers that enable us to recognise when our marketing subscribers have opened an email or clicked certain links.

We use this data to create reports about how interesting or useful our marketing campaigns were to our users, then we can adjust them to make our campaigns more relevant. For example, if you never open emails about bakeries, we'll start to assume you don't want to receive emails about bakeries!
