Our website and app include links to other websites operated by others, including providers of events and activities.

We have to seek your consent to use certain cookies and you can refuse consent.

Cookies are small files that are sent to your device when you visit a website. They stay on your device, and collect data which is sent back to the website they came from when you visit it again. These are written into mobile apps and web pages that you go to on your device.

We do not use cookies to collect or record personal information on your name, address or other contact details that are connected to your user profile.
