Cookies and how they benefit you
Our website uses cookies, as almost all websites do, to help provide you with the best experience we can. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile phone when you browse websites.
Our cookies help us:
– Make our website work as you’d expect
– Remember your settings during and between visits
– Improve the speed/security of the site
– Continuously improve our website for you
– Make our advertising and email more relevant
The information does not usually directly identify you, but it can give you a more personalised web experience. Please note that once you leave our site and visit one of our ticketing partners such as Eventbrite or See Tickets, they may have their own cookie policy in place that differs to ours.
Granting us permission to use cookies
When you visit our site for the first time, a pop-up banner will ask you to set your cookie preferences. Because we respect your right to privacy, you can choose to ‘Accept All Cookies’, ‘Reject All’ or customise your settings. Once you have set your preferences the banner will close.
Alternatively, you can adjust your browser settings to stop it from accepting cookies. Each browser is different, but this can often be found in the Privacy and Security Settings. Please note, switching off cookies will limit the functionality of our and a large proportion of the world’s websites as cookies are a standard part of most modern websites. It may be that your concerns around cookies relate to so-called ‘spyware’. Rather than switching off cookies in your browser, you may find that anti-spyware software is more effective as it can automatically delete any cookies considered to be invasive.
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
Performance cookies
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular, what technology visitors are using, and see how visitors move around the site. Analytics programs can then tell us how people reached this site (e.g. from a search engine) and whether they have been here before. We occasionally test new designs or site features on our site by showing slightly different versions of our website to different people and monitoring how visitors respond to these different versions. Ultimately this helps us to offer you a better website. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our site, and will not be able to monitor its performance.
Functional cookies
These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. We use these cookies to remember your search settings and remember if we have already asked you certain questions (e.g. you declined to take our survey). If you do not allow these cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly.
Targeting cookies
Cookies are widely used in online advertising. These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners and may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. We only work with advertising partners who work to accepted privacy standards. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. You may notice that sometimes after visiting a site you see adverts from the site you visited. This is because advertisers, including ourselves, pay for these adverts. The technology to do this is made possible by cookies. We may use these adverts to offer you special offers and incentives to encourage you to come back to our site. We also use the cookies to communicate relevant messages via email, if you are subscribed to one of our mailing lists.
You can learn more about online advertising on the Your Online Choices website. You can opt-out of almost all advertising cookies online although we would prefer that you didn’t as ultimately adverts help keep much of the internet free. It is also worth noting that opting out of advertising cookies will not mean you won’t see adverts, just simply that they won’t be tailored to you.
