Facebook (Visitor Action Pixel)
We may from time to time use Facebook Advertising, Facebook Pixel Re-Marketing, and communications. This allows user behaviour to be tracked after they have clicked on a Facebook ad. This enables us to measure the effectiveness of our Facebook ads. The data collected is anonymous to us, i.e. we do not see the personal data of individual users. However, this data is stored and processed by Facebook. Facebook may link this information to your Facebook account and also use it for its own promotional purposes, in accordance with Facebook’s Data Usage Policy https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/. You can opt-out of Facebook’s use of cookies and Facebook Pixel Re-Marketing through settings on your Facebook Account.
Google Remarketing
On our website, we use Google’s marketing and remarketing services to allow us to display relevant ads based on what pages on our website you have viewed. The advertising will be displayed using cookies. This cookie doesn’t record any personal information or identify you personally. The cookie user data is collected by Google and transmitted to and stored by servers in the USA.
One of the Google marketing services we use is the online advertising program Google AdWords. The information collected by this cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for our AdWords campaigns (e.g. see the total number of users who clicked on our AdWords ad). Again we will not receive any information that personally identifies users.
If you would prefer to not receive any targeted advertising, you can deactivate the use of cookies for these purposes through Google by visiting the website: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/.
Google has its own independent data protection policy which can be accessed here (https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/).
Links to social networking services
We do use social networking services such as Facebook and YouTube to communicate with the public about our work. When you communicate with us using these services, the social networking service may collect your personal information for its own purposes.
These services may track your use of our website on those pages where their links are displayed. If you are logged in to those services (including any Google service) while using our site, their tracking will be associated with your profile with them.
These services have their own privacy policies which are independent of ours.

We are happy to provide you with access to any personal information that we hold about you. If it is wrong, please ask us to correct it. To ask for access or correction, see our contact details. You can ask to be removed from any of our subscription lists at any time.
