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 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.
