In addition when we send out marketing emails via Mailchimp, it employs cookies, unique identifiers, web beacons and similar 'tracking technologies'.

However we only send marketing emails to registered subscribers who have 'opted-in' to receive them. All subscribers have the option to 'opt-out' by clicking a link on every email to unsubscribe at any time. Read the Mailchimp Cookie Statement.
