As detailed above, we use cookies and traffic analysis in order to improve the performance of our websites and services available. We have a legitimate interest in carrying out these activities and we ensure that we minimise any impact on your privacy.
You have the ‘right to object’ to activities carried out for our legitimate interest if you believe your right to privacy outweighs our legitimate business interests. However, as the activities involved are central to our business, if you wish to object further than by managing your cookies, this may mean that you will need to close your account.

If you have given us your consent to do so, we will send you offers and promotions via email, text message or online. We do not share your information with third parties for them to use for their own marketing.
You have the right to withdraw consent or update your marketing preferences at any time.
