Cookies which our online service providers use

We use other companies to help us provide some online services. For example, we use a third party provider (spektrix and dotdigital) so you can buy theatre tickets online.

We have worked with them closely to find out what cookies they need to use to work properly. Most sites do not need to use cookies to allow you to use their service.

Some of these services use tracking (persistent) cookies, and further information is available within their respective Privacy Policies accessed through their website.

Cookies, pixels and website widgets for advertising

As well as the essential cookies we use that enable the website to work properly, we also use cookies supplied by 3rd party companies like Meta (Facebook, Instagram etc) and Google Analytics. This technology is made up of small pieces of code that can hold anonymised data of visitors to our website which helps us to show ads to people most likely to respond to them. It also enables Meta and Google to report on the performance of our advertising.

When you visit our website for the first time you will see an option to opt out of non-essential cookies. If you no longer wish to accept non-essential cookies you can easily clear the browser history in the settings and the next time you visit our website you will again be able to opt out of non-essential cookies.
