IP addresses
An IP address is a number assigned to your computer whenever you access the internet. It allows computers and servers to recognise and communicate with one another.

To provide website visitors with more choice on how their data is collected by Google Analytics, Google have developed the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. The add-on communicates with the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js) to indicate that information about the website visit should not be sent to Google Analytics. The Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on does not prevent information from being sent to the website itself or to other web analytics services.
When you visit our websites, marketing automation cookies are placed in your browser. They help identify you as a website visitor according to your specific browser and computer combination, and you are remembered in the event that you return to our website. If the user identifies himself by volunteering personal data, e.g. by filling in a contact form or clicking on links in an e-mail the cookie’s unique user ID is linked to the personal data volunteered by the user. We may use the information provided by you during your online visits in order to tailor the content or make suggestions of similar items you may be interested in.
Web beacons
A web beacon is a small image file on a web page that can be used to collect certain information from your computer, such as an IP address, the time the content was viewed, a browser type, and the existence of cookies previously set by the same server. Sunborn Group only uses web beacons in accordance with applicable laws.
Sunborn Group or its service providers may use web beacons to track the effectiveness of third party web sites that provide us with recruiting or marketing services or to gather aggregate visitor statistics and manage cookies.
You have the option to render some web beacons unusable by rejecting their associated cookies. The web beacon may still record an anonymous visit from your IP address but cookie information will not be recorded.
In some of our newsletters and other communications, we may monitor recipient actions such as email open rates through embedded links within the messages. We collect this information to gauge user interest and to enhance future user experiences.
Location based tools
