• Web beacons, also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs, which are used to demonstrate that a webpage or email was accessed or opened, or that certain content was viewed or clicked. 

Data about others.

Please do not refer someone to us or share their contact details with us unless you have their permission to do so.
