Cookies on Sheffield Events
This is the full list of what Sheffield Events stores in your browser and why. It is generated from the same list the cookie banner uses, so it is always the real one. The short version: essential cookies keep the site working, and the only optional ones are for analytics, which you can refuse. Nothing here is used for advertising.
How consent works here
Nothing optional loads until you have answered the banner. If you reject, Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity and Jetpack Stats are never fetched, and Google is told your choice through its consent signals rather than left to guess. If your browser sends Do Not Track, we treat that as a refusal and do not show the banner at all. Your answer is kept for a year; you can change it at any time with the small shield button in the bottom left corner of any page, or the link at the foot of this one.
Necessary always on
These make the site work: your login, the choices you make on this banner, and the security checks that keep bots out. They cannot be switched off.
