| Cookie | Purpose |
| Google Analytics | This monitors how people use our site – for example the browser they use and the pages they visit. It’s used to assess our website’s performance and to help us plan improvements. |
| Sizmek / DoubleClick | You may notice that sometimes after visiting our site you see increased numbers of adverts from us. This is because we pay for these adverts, and the technology to do this is made possible by this cookie. We use these adverts to inform you about this or other shows. The cookies help us understand how well our online adverts are encouraging visitors to view more information about particular events on 42balloons.com. When an advert is displayed on a third-party website, a Sizmek / Doubleclick cookie is placed on the device, providing cookies have not been refused. If that visitor, using the same browser, then visits 42balloons.com, we can see that the advert has been effective. More information about Sizmek’s or Doubleclick’s own privacy policies and how to opt out can be found on the Sizmek / Doubleclick websites. |
