What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file of letters and numbers that are automatically placed on your computer when you visit a website. This allows the site to tell you apart from other users.
A cookie isn’t a computer programme. It can’t read files on your computer, access your camera or microphone, carry viruses, or install malware onto your computer. They are very small so don’t take up much space.
Most web browsers allow control of some cookies in their settings. To find out more about cookies, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.

From 18 November 2020 to 18 February 2021, Scottish Ballet will temporarily apply cookies to all sessions unless you have opted out using the form below. This is in order to review our existing cookie policy and analyse the extent to which cookies impact the functions of our website. We will also be using this time to accurately measure the traffic on our website during peak periods, such as the launch of The Secret Theatre, to ensure our servers are robust enough to prevent the website from malfunctioning.
After 18 February 2021, this cookie notice will be updated to reflect the learnings from the three-month benchmarking period and will ensure transparency around data collection and security.

These cookies remember pop ups you’ve seen so you don’t see them again. Some of these cookies expire after a specified duration, meaning you will be automatically prompted to renew your consent. We will never run ads on our website from other brands or serve pop ups unrelated to Scottish Ballet.
