Information may be collected when you access our websites or apps, or the websites and apps of our clients, such as the time and specific page or app you visited. This information is collected through “cookies”. A “cookie” is a small piece of information, or file, that a website or app sends to your computer’s hard drive while you are viewing that website or app for record keeping purposes.

Most web browsers are automatically set to accept cookies. If you do not wish to receive any cookies you may set your browser to refuse cookies. However, this will mean you will not be able to take full advantage of our websites or apps.

We, and our service providers, use the information collected from cookies for a number of reasons:

• to provide statistical data, ratings and other information for industry and other public reporting;
• to provide you with a more personalised, convenient and interactive experience on our websites or apps;
• to track who has viewed an advertisement or clicked-through an advertisement; and
• to provide you with a more targeted advertising experience both on and off our websites or apps, allowing us to impose restrictions where appropriate and monitor how effective an advertising campaign has been.

For the avoidance of doubt, Apps do not use cookies to track usage within the App. However, we may use app analytics providers such as Flurry, to perform a similar function.

Additionally, we may sometimes use services, including Google Adsense, DoubleClick, Adobe, Nielsen and Facebook, in activities such as analytics and online behavioural advertising, for ourselves and for our clients, to provide you with more relevant advertising, content, and commercial messages.

You can find more information on these services and choose to opt-out from services of your choice by using this website http://optout.networkadvertising.org .

Opt-outs only apply to online behavioural advertising and do not apply to other technologies such as email and social advertising.
