Cookie Policy

1. What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file stored on your device when you visit a website. Cookies allow a site to recognise your device, remember your preferences and understand how the site is being used. We also use closely related technologies such as local storage and pixels, all of which this policy refers to collectively as "cookies".

2. Categories of cookies we use

Strictly necessary

Required for the site to function. They keep you signed in, remember your basket and ticket selections, protect against fraud, and let you complete checkout securely. These cannot be turned off in our system.

• Authentication session — keeps you signed in to your account.
• CSRF / security tokens — protect form submissions and payments.
• Cookie preferences — remember the choices you make on our cookie banner.

Performance and analytics (optional)

Help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. The data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.

Functional (optional)

Remember choices you make to give you a better experience — for example saving a preferred viewing layout or recently viewed competitions.

Marketing (optional)

Used by us and our advertising partners to measure the effectiveness of campaigns and to show relevant ads on other sites you visit. We only set these with your consent.

3. Third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by trusted third parties whose services we use, including:

• Stripe — fraud prevention during checkout.
• Analytics providers — anonymous traffic and usage statistics.
• Social platforms (Instagram, YouTube, Facebook) — when content from those platforms is embedded or shared.

These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review.

4. Managing your preferences

You can manage cookies in two ways:

• Using the cookie preferences link in our website footer to enable or disable optional categories at any time.
• Through your browser settings — most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent parts of the site (including sign-in and checkout) from working correctly.

5. How long cookies last

Cookies are either session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (stored for a set period, typically between 30 days and 13 months). Each cookie has its own expiry, set to the shortest duration appropriate for its purpose.

6. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes to the cookies we use or to legal requirements. The latest version will always be available on this page.
