How we use personal information

We have to have a valid reason to use your personal information. It's called the "lawful basis for processing". Sometimes we might ask your permission to do things, like when you subscribe to a newsletter. Other times, when you'd reasonably expect us to use your personal information, we don't ask your permission, but only when:

• the law says it's fine to use it, and
• it fits with the rights you have

We use your information for these types of things:

a. to deliver our services and to provide you with information about them

b. to deal with your requests, complaints and enquiries

d. to personalise services and give you things more tailored to your tastes

e. to show you relevant advertising on another company's site

f. to help us understand what kind of services you might use and sometimes how you might share things with other people

g. to recommend things we think might interest you

h. to show you advertising; some of this advertising might be tailored to you

i. to research and innovate

j. to contact you about various things

When we will use your information to contact you

We might use your information to contact you about different things, like:

• to update you on changes to the policies, practices and Terms of Use
• to check with you about any service or activity you’ve signed up for
• to send you any updates and or newsletters you subscribed to
• to answer you when you’ve contacted us, or to respond to a comment or complaint
• to invite you to take part in surveys about our services, which are always voluntary

Remember, you're in control of your personal information.

You have the right to:

• request a copy of your information
• not let robots make big decisions about you
• to ask us to correct information that's wrong, to delete it or to request that we only use it for certain purposes
• to change your mind, and ask us to stop using your information. For example, unsubscribing from any newsletters or marketing emails

Bear in mind, sometimes we might not be able to help. Like if the law tells us we can't or it forms part of our journalistic output.

How we use cookies and similar tracking

What are cookies and tracking technologies?

Cookies are small text files which are transferred to your computer or mobile when you visit a website or app.

There are also similar pieces of tracking information we collect.

Why do we use cookies and other tracking?

To do a few different things:

• to remember information about you, so you don't have to give it to us again. And again. And again
• to keep you signed in, even on different devices
• to help us understand how people are using our services, so we can make them better
• to deliver advertising
• to help us personalise our services by remembering your preferences and settings
• to find out if our emails have been read and if you find them useful

What are the types of cookies?

Some cookies are always on when you visit us, and you can’t turn them off unless you change your browser settings. We call these “strictly necessary cookies”. We use them to make sure our digital services work correctly and are meeting audience needs and interests.

We also use functional, performance and advertising cookies. You can switch these on or off at any time and you can always change your mind. We’ll only use them if you’ve agreed.

Bear in mind there are some other cookies out there from other companies. These "third-party cookies" might track how you use different websites, including ours. For example, you might get a social media company’s cookie when you see the option to share something. You can turn them off, but not through us.

How long do cookies last?

Some are erased when you close the browser on your website or app. Others stay longer, sometimes forever, and are saved onto your device so that they’re there when you come back.

How you can control cookies and tracking

Strictly necessary cookies are always on when you visit our website. On your first visit to us, we’ll tell you about our other types of cookies and ask you to choose which cookies we can use. You can always change your mind by going to your settings.

Stopping cookies might mean you can’t access some of our services, or that some of them might not work properly for you.

Another way to control some tracking is in the settings on your device.
