Use of cookies on PwC websites

We utilise cookies and other online identification technologies such as web beacons, to provide users with an improved user experience.

Analytics and site statistics

We also use these technologies to gather information and statistics on how our websites are used. For example, we collect information about page visits and navigation to determine what articles and topics are of greatest interest and whether users are able to find content easily. Likewise, we collect information about which articles and videos are viewed and whether videos are viewed in their entirety to determine what content is of most interest to users. We also use usage information to generate various reports on how our websites are used. These reports contain aggregated information about users and do not single out users individually. 

Information about the cookies used on our websites can be found below. Individual PwC sites may use additional cookies or third-party analytics tools.  For more information about the cookies and third-party tools used on individual sites, please review the cookie information on the particular sites you visit.

Measuring effectiveness of our activities

We may utilise online identification technologies from marketing partners, third-party sites and social media platforms. These technologies help us measure the efficacy of our marketing and awareness campaigns and to understand how visitors navigate to our websites from a PwC ad. We use these technologies to compile statistics about visitors who interact with our websites and other online PwC content to gauge the effectiveness of our ads, and to provide more pertinent information to our visitors.
