We also use data such as email for tracking purposes. Hashed data is used to create targeted advertising for our fundraising and campaigning activities on social media and web platforms.
Hashing means that data such as email addresses are turned into unreadable codes for security and privacy during data transfer. We delete the hashed data after a short period of time and it's not used for any other purpose.
This helps us reach and inspire new people to take meaningful action for nature and to create an inclusive society where nature matters. It's both cost-effective and helps us grow support for wildlife.
If you opt into Marketing Cookies when using our website we will employ Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google LLC. We also employ Google Ads conversion tracking, Google remarketing and Google Signals, all of which are services offered by Google.
We implement Google Analytics to track, monitor and report on website traffic. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to analyse and enhance our website based on how people use it and their behaviour on the website.
Google Ads conversion tracking and Google Ads remarketing employ cookies and similar technologies to measure the performance of our advertising and to display personalised advertising messages on websites collaborating with Google. This helps us to efficiently reach people to support our work and protect wildlife for the future.
Google Signals, integrated with Google Analytics, creates data reports from multiple platforms or devices from people who are signed into their Google accounts, but only if they have enabled personalised advertising within their account. This information may include a person's location, search history, YouTube history and data from sites that partner with Google. It is used to provide aggregated and anonymous insights into behaviours across more than one device.
