1.2) Other terms used in this Privacy Policy shall have the meanings given to them in our Terms of Use or the PDPA (where the context so permits).
1.3) Depending on the nature of your interaction with us, on the Sites or through any Service we provide, the type of information that we may collect includes:

This information does not generally, but may, contain your personal data. In particular, information is likely to be collected as follows:

Web analytics. Web analytics is the method for collecting and assessing the behaviour of users on the Sites. This includes the analysis of traffic patterns in order, for example, to determine the frequency of visits to certain parts of a website or mobile application, or to find out what information and services the users are most interested in. We may also use web beacons in email communications in order to understand the behaviour of our users, such as whether an email has been opened or acted upon.
Cookies. We use cookies on the Sites, which are small text files that a website stores on your PC, telephone or any other device with information on your navigation on the Sites, whose principal objective is to improve your experience on the Sites, track use of the Sites and to provide us subsequently with aggregated information of these activities for statistical purposes. By default, cookies are enabled on web browsers but if you prefer, you may disable the use of cookies in your browser and delete the cookies saved in your browser associated with the Sites.
