Cookies in E-Mails

In addition to the cookies used on this website, we also use cookies and similar technologies in some emails.

This allows us to see how you have interacted with the email, and if you have opened it. Cookies will also be set if you click on a link within this kind of email.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies we use on our website are from third party companies, such as Google Analytics, Drift and Salesforce Pardot, to provide us with web analytics and intelligence about our sites. These companies use programming code to collect information about your interaction with our website, such as the pages you visit, the links you click on and how long you are on our website. The Distributor Portal does not use Google Analytics, Salesforce Pardot or other third-party non-essential analytics or marketing cookies.

This code is only active while you are on our sites. You can opt-out of having your anonymised browsing activity within websites tracked by Google Analytics cookies by clicking on the following link: Google Analytics Privacy.

Social Buttons

Social media tools, like widgets and plug-ins, are sometimes used so that you can share information from our websites on other sites such as X (previously Twitter), (found on our Blog pages). These interactive mini-programs collect your IP address, record the pages you visit on our site, and set cookies that will enable the widget to function properly. These tools are not used on the Distributor Portal.

Your interactions with these widgets are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing them, not by us.

We may also use X, Facebook and LinkedIn pixel tags to help us understand how effective our marketing is on those sites. These pixel tags are not used on the Distributor Portal.
