Receiving communications from the Hertfordshire and West Essex ICS Training Hub

We would like to send you information about new services of ours and other organisations within the ICS which may be of interest to you. If you have chosen to receive these emails, you may opt out at any time by sending us a request to do this, you can do this by clicking here.

Our mailing list supplier (MailChimp - you can read its policy here) adds a piece of code to all our emails that requests a small image from their web servers. When a reader opens the email, the image is downloaded. The download is recorded as an "open" for that specific message to your email address.

This information is used to monitor the effectiveness of our mailing lists. We only use it in summary form, for example "2,000 people opened the message".

You can control whether this information is downloaded onto your computer one of two ways:

·        You can configure your mail software to not download the image, or

·         You can unsubscribe or choose not to sign up to the mailing list.

By default, most mail software will be configured to not download the image. If you wish to check or configure it yourself, you can read more about this.

When you sign up to our mailing lists, we do not pass your email address to any third parties. We also do not sign you up to our other mailing lists, only the one you have chosen to subscribe to.
