Cookie Policy
How we use cookies
uses a small number of cookies and similar technologies to keep the site working, remember your preferences and understand which journalism resonates. This policy explains each kind and the control you keep.
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Along with similar technologies such as local storage and pixels, they let a site remember your actions and preferences. This policy sits alongside our Privacy Policy and applies to FilmAndStageMagazine.com.
Categories of cookies we use
Strictly necessary
Required for the site to work — security, load balancing, remembering your cookie choices and basic navigation. These cannot be switched off in our systems.
Typical lifespan: Session to 12 months
Preference
Remember choices you make — such as region, display settings and whether you have dismissed a notice — so the site behaves the way you expect on return visits.
Typical lifespan: Up to 12 months
Analytics
Privacy-respecting, aggregated measurement that tells us which coverage is read and how the site performs. We use this to improve our journalism, never to build advertising profiles.
Typical lifespan: Up to 24 months
Third-party / embedded
Set when content is embedded from other services — such as video players or maps. These are governed by the provider's own cookie and privacy policies.
Typical lifespan: Set by the provider
Managing your choices
You can accept or reject non-essential cookies through our consent banner where shown, and change your mind at any time. You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings — most browsers let you block or remove them per site. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the site from working.
Do Not Track & global signals
We honour recognised opt-out signals such as Global Privacy Control (GPC) where they are transmitted by your browser. Because we do not sell personal information or use cross-site advertising trackers, there is no additional profiling to opt out of.
