Use of anonymised data and cookies
Cookie Policy
A cookie is a small file sent to your computer and stored in your web browser when you visit a website. Whenever you visit the same website again, the information stored in the cookie can be retrieved to notify the website of your previous online activity.
Cookies help you get the best out of our website and help us provide you with a more customised service. For example, we use cookies to keep track of your basket when you purchase items on our site as well as to identify how the website is being used and what improvements we can make. A cookie cannot give us access to your computer or to information beyond what you provide us.
What type of cookies do we use?
First party cookies
First party cookies are set by our website and are required to perform basic functionality, such as retaining your selected tickets in the basket whilst you move around our website.
First party cookies support the functionality on our website, including:
- Making our shopping basket and checkout work
- Keeping your place in the queue during busy sales periods
- Determining if you are logged in or not
- Remembering your display preferences such as colours, text size and layout
There is no way to prevent these cookies being set other than to not use our site.
First party performance cookies are set to collect visitor statistics, such as how many people have visited our website, what type of technology they are using, how long they spend on the site, what pages they look at and so on. These programs also tell us how people reached our site (from a search engine, for example) and whether they have been here before. This helps us to improve our website.
You can opt out of being tracked by Google Analytics performance cookies across all websites here.
First party functional cookies support how a website operates. For example, by identifying a user’s device on a unique but anonymous basis, a website can identify the user’s language preferences and whether to display the website in desktop or mobile format.
Third party cookies
Third party cookies are hosted by an alternative domain to the one the user is visiting.
Third party advertisement cookies are widely used in online advertising. Neither us, advertisers or our advertising partners can gain personally identifiable information from these cookies.
You can learn more about online advertising at Your Online Choices, including opting out of almost all advertising cookies. Opting out of these cookies does not mean you won’t see adverts any longer; simply that they will not be tailored to you.
We host the Facebook Pixel on our website. This pixel allows us identify and advertise to groups of Facebook and Instagram users via those platforms. This helps us see how people engage with the content on our website and if they purchase a ticket as a result of clicking on a Facebook or Instagram ad.
While it is not possible for a Facebook or Instagram user to block adverts on the platform entirely, you can change what types of adverts you see and the information Facebook uses to target you with adverts.
You may still see adverts from us on Facebook or Instagram after you change your preferences if you sit within some of Facebook’s anonymised interest based groups. You can learn more about your Facebook advertising settings here.
