Do we track whether users open our emails?
Our emails are sent via Mailchimp.com who provide autoresponder and broadcast email services on our behalf. Emails may contain a single, campaign-unique web beacon pixel to allow Mailchimp to tell us whether our emails are opened and verify any clicks through to links or advertisements within the email. We may use this information for purposes including determining which of our emails are more interesting to users, to query whether users who do not open our emails wish to continue receiving them and to inform our advertisers in aggregate how many users have clicked on their advertisements. The pixel will be deleted when you delete the email. If you do not wish the pixel to be downloaded to your device, you should opt out of receiving emails from us by clicking on the link provided at the bottom of every email we send to you.
Our emails may also contain campaign unique Google Analytics codes used to determine how many people visited our website by clicking on links in the email. You can opt out by disabling Google Analytics cookies (see above).
