Google Analytics – We use this to understand how the site is being used in order to improve the user experience. All user data is anonymous.
Email tracking – We include tracking on some of our emails so that we can tell how much traffic they send to our site and analyse open and click rates. Sometimes we track and use individual users’ responses to our emails, for instance in order to re-email those who did not click a message on first receiving it. If you want to be sure that none of your email activity is tracked, you should opt-out of Strand Palace’s emails.
Surveys & Contests – From time to time our site may request information from users via surveys, contests or for a particular service (e.g. newsletter). Participation in these surveys or contests is voluntary. Information requested will include contact information (as supplied to the site during registration) and supplementary information on your interests, opinions and preferences. We will use the contact information to notify winners. We will not publish winners’ details on the site though on request we will provide details of any winner’s name and organisation in promotional activity. If the survey or contest has a sponsor then we may share information given by entrants with the sponsor, but only with the user’s consent.
Retargeting Advertising – We will occasionally use cookies to record your visit to our site. Upon visiting a partner site, you may see advertisements from Strand Palace relating to the products or services you have viewed. We do not collect personal information through our partner sites, and we do not share data with sites that display our advertising. In some cases, the partner site may store a cookie on your browser. This cookie is there so that the partner recognises that Strand Palace has a personalised advertisement available for your browser.
