            What are cookies?

            Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They serve a variety of purposes, from enabling basic navigation to supporting advanced functionality such as remembering preferences, facilitating secure access, and measuring performance.

            There are different categories of cookies commonly used across the internet:

            • Strictly necessary cookies - essential for the operation of the Website, such as enabling navigation and access to secure areas. Without these, certain services may not function properly.
            • Performance cookies - collect information about how visitors interact with the Website, allowing administrators to monitor and improve functionality.
            • Functional cookies - remember user preferences and choices, enabling a more personalised experience.
            • Targeting or advertising cookies - used to deliver relevant advertising content. venuesandevents.co.uk does not directly place advertising cookies; however, third-party services integrated with the Website may use them.

            Cookies may be stored either as session cookies (temporary files that are deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (which remain on your device for a specified period or until manually removed).

            In addition to cookies, the Website may use related technologies such as pixels, web beacons, or local storage mechanisms, all of which function in a similar manner by collecting or storing information on your device.

            How and why we use cookies

            • Preference management - to remember choices made by users, such as language settings or display preferences, enabling a more tailored browsing experience.
            • Security - to safeguard the Website against malicious activity, unauthorised access, and fraudulent use. Certain cookies help detect unusual behaviour or prevent repeated login attempts.
            • Third-party integrations - some cookies are placed by third-party services used for analytics, hosting, or performance optimisation.
