Our Website also uses Custom Audience Pixel, a small piece of JavaScript that is incorporated into each of our web pages. We use Custom Audience Pixels to record information about the way visitors use the Website. This pixel records information about the user's browser session, which it sends to Facebook. The collected data remains anonymous. This means that we cannot see the personal data of any individual user. A cookie will be saved onto your computer and will expire in 180 days or until you visit the site again.

LinkedIn Insight Tag

We use the LinkedIn Insight Tag to gain insider knowledge about our Website visitors and their behaviour in order to improve our services through LinkedIn. This Tag is a snippet of code provided by LinkedIn and enables the collection of metadata such as IP address information, timestamp, and events (e.g. page views). All data is encrypted and anonymous. LinkedIn installs a browser cookie which is stored for six months from your last activity on the site or until you delete it.

It will help us measure which of our campaigns drive actions such as site visits, sign ups or downloads. This feature may collect your IP address, visited page and sets a cookie to enable its functioning. All the collected data stays encrypted.
