This site uses cookies. A cookie is a small data file written to your hard drive. Cookies allow us to understand user behavior so we can more effectively develop information and programs to serve you better. For more information we recommend you visit www.aboutcookies.org for detailed guidance.

Please be assured that the information you give us or that we collect about you in connection with our use of cookies will not be shared with any other third party, except with our service providers and then only in the form and for the purposes stated in our Privacy Policy.

Currently we operate an ‘implied consent’ policy which means that we assume you are happy with this usage. If you’re concerned about the use of cookies, you have the option to set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies, or to turn off cookies entirely. The options to warn or disable cookies can be found in the “Options” or “Preferences” feature of your browser. You do not need to enable cookies in order to use Brand2Global.com.

We automatically track certain information about you based upon your behavior on our site. We use this information to do internal research on our users’ demographics, interests, and behavior to better understand and serve our users. We use a web analytics tool to analyze site usage, how our users arrive at our site, what they do on the site, what browser they are using and on what operating system etc. However, this analytics data, collected via a JavaScript tag in the pages of our site, is not tied to personally identifiable information.

Persistent Cookies for Site Analytics and Performance

The following describes the cookies we use on this site and what we use them for.

Google Analytics. We use this to understand how the site is being used in order to improve the user experience. User data is all anonymous. You can find out more about Google’s position on privacy as regards its analytics service at www.google.co.uk/intl/en/analytics/privacyoverview.html

Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting. As well as the standard anonymous data collected by Google Analytics, we also utilize Google advertising cookies and anonymous identifiers. These additional items are used to better understand the type of people that are visiting our site, to ensure we maintain an offering that appeals to the conference’s target audience. There is never any merging of personally-identifiable information (from these advanced analytics) with non-personally identifiable information (from standard Google Analytics).

Website users who don’t want their data collected with Google Analytics can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. This add-on instructs the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js, and dc.js) running on websites to prohibit sending information to Google Analytics.

Social sharing. On some of the pages of the site you may have the option to ‘Share Content’ via social media. These enable users to share or bookmark the web pages. In order to implement this service, and connect them to the relevant social networks and external sites, there are scripts from domains outside of Brand2Global.com. You should be aware that these sites are likely to be collecting information about what you are doing all around the internet, including on Brand2Global.com. You should check the respective policies of each of these sites to see how exactly they use your information and to find out how to opt out, or delete, such information.

External web services. We use a number of external web services on the Brand2Global site, mostly to display content within our web pages. For example, to show videos we use Vimeo and YouTube. As with the social buttons we cannot prevent these sites, or external domains, from collecting information on your usage of this embedded content. If you are not logged in to these external services then they will not know who you are but are likely to gather anonymous usage information e.g. number of views, plays, loads etc.

Email tracking. Some emails that we send you have no tracking in at all e.g. service emails. Other emails we send we put in tracking so that we can tell how much traffic those emails send to our site but we do not know who has clicked so the data is anonymous e.g. our Brand2Global newsletter. We use Constant Contact as an email service provider:
