    • Meta Pixel: We use the Meta Pixel to track the effectiveness of our Facebook and Instagram advertising. This allows us to see if a user purchased a ticket after seeing our advertisement and helps us show relevant event invitations to previous visitors (Retargeting).

    • Google Consent Mode: Our website uses Google Consent Mode v2. If you choose to “Reject” cookies, Google will not store tracking cookies but will allow us to receive aggregate, anonymous data to measure advertisement performance.

    • Ticket Tailor We use Ticket Tailor to manage our event bookings. When you click to buy a ticket, you may be redirected to our secure booking page hosted by Ticket Tailor.
