4          Use of pixels in emails

4.1       If we send emails to you and you choose to download the images within them, they often contain a single “web beacon pixel”.  We use these as they tell us if our emails are opened, how many times, and tells us if you have clicked through to links within that email.  We use this information to:

• Work out which emails our readers find more interesting;
• How engaged our readers are with our products;

4.2       When you delete the email, the pixel will be deleted.  If you do not wish the pixel to be downloaded to your device, you don’t need to download the images in the email and the default setting is to view the email in plain text only.
