This email uses a 'clear image gif' to track interactions with the email, for example to see whether it has been opened. This helps us understand how useful our emails are, so we can improve them in future. If you wish to turn off this tracking for future emails, you can do so in your email settings by turning off automated download of images. While all our public-facing work takes place under the Which? brand, technically it's carried out by a number of different legal entities. See the
