Informa Telecoms & Media Cookie Statement

This privacy and cookie statement relates to both ITM and IR Events websites.

When we provide services we want to make them as accessible, useful and reliable as possible. Where services are delivered on the internet, we sometimes place information on your computer, mobile phone or other device. This information includes small files known as cookies. Cookies cannot be used to identify you personally; they provide information which is used by us to improve services delivered to you. For example, cookies can help by:

Enabling a service to recognise your device so you don't have to provide the same information several times during one task.
Recognising that you may already have given a username and password so you don't need to provide it for every web page requested.
Measuring how many people are using a service, so it can be made easier to use and ensuring there's enough capacity to maintain service performance.
