Third-party cookies and analytics

We use third-party services that collect statistics in aggregate form to provide analysis tools.

IBSCA may use Google Analytics, which tracks website visitor behaviour so that we can measure performance and improve services for our audiences. This service uses tracking codes which can follow you across different websites, but IBSCA does not receive personally-identifiable information as all data reported is anonymous. For full details on how Google Analytics works, please see the Terms of Service (https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/gb.html). If you do not want Google Analytics to use your data, then a browser add-on is available (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/).

IBSCA email communications are handled by OCM who uses MailChimp for email communications, which uses similar tracking tools to enable us to know whether a message has been opened, whether it resulted in the reader responding to the email by visiting a link, or if it resulted in a purchase. This helps us to make sure our communications are interesting.
