Cookie Policy

Last updated: 6 October 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Anyplace Theatre uses cookies and similar technologies on the Anyplace Theatre website.

Anyplace Theatre is operated by Ross Woods trading as Anyplace Theatre.

WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small text files or similar pieces of information that are placed on or accessed from your device when you visit a website. They allow a website to recognise your device and, depending on the type of cookie, remember information about your visit or help the website function.

Some cookies are essential for a website to operate correctly, while others may be used for purposes such as analytics, preferences or marketing.

HOW WE USE COOKIES

We aim to keep the use of cookies on the Anyplace Theatre website to a minimum.

Our website currently uses cookies and similar technologies primarily to:

• provide essential website functionality;
• remember or manage cookie-consent choices; and
• support basic functionality provided by WordPress and its components.

We also use Independent Analytics to obtain information about how visitors use the website. Independent Analytics is designed to operate without using tracking cookies.

We do not currently use cookies for behavioural advertising or to build advertising profiles about visitors.

The cookies and similar technologies used on the website may change as our website, plugins and services are updated. We will update this Cookie Policy where there is a material change to the way cookies are used.

COOKIES CURRENTLY IDENTIFIED ON OUR WEBSITE

The following cookies have currently been identified on our website.

COOKIEYES

Cookie name: cookieyes-*

Purpose: These cookies are associated with the CookieYes cookie-consent system and are used to remember or manage a visitor’s cookie-consent preferences.

Type: Necessary

Duration: The exact cookie name and duration may vary depending on the CookieYes configuration and version in use.

Provider: CookieYes

These cookies help us record and respect your cookie-consent choices.

WP EMOJI SETTINGS SUPPORTS

Cookie name: wpEmojiSettingsSupports

Purpose: This is associated with WordPress’s handling of emoji support and is used in connection with determining whether a visitor’s browser supports the required emoji functionality.

Type: Necessary / functional

Duration: Typically short-lived, although the precise behaviour and duration may depend on the WordPress version and browser.

Provider: WordPress

This technology is not used by Anyplace Theatre for advertising or behavioural tracking.

ANALYTICS

We use Independent Analytics, a WordPress analytics plugin, to understand how visitors use our website and to help us improve its content, usability and performance.

Independent Analytics is designed to provide website analytics without relying on tracking cookies. Analytics information is stored within our WordPress website rather than being sent to a separate external analytics service operated by the plugin developer.

Depending on the configuration of the website, analytics information may include technical and statistical information such as:

• pages viewed;
• date and time of visits;
• referring information;
• browser and device information;
• approximate geographic information; and
• other information necessary to produce website usage statistics.

We use this information for statistical and website-improvement purposes.

We do not use Independent Analytics for behavioural advertising or to create advertising profiles.

WEBSITE FUNCTIONALITY AND WORDPRESS

Our website is built using WordPress and Elementor.

We also use a number of WordPress plugins and services to provide website functionality, including WPForms Lite, WP Mail SMTP, CookieYes, IONOS Essentials, Independent Analytics, One Time Login and Ticket Tailor.

Not every plugin or service necessarily places a cookie on your device.

Where a service does use cookies or similar technologies, these will be used in accordance with the relevant service’s functionality and our cookie-consent requirements.

WPForms Lite is used to provide website contact forms. WP Mail SMTP is used to facilitate the delivery of emails generated by the website. These services are not currently identified as placing separate tracking cookies on visitors’ devices by our current CookieYes scan.

THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

Our website may contain links to or functionality provided by third-party services, including Ticket Tailor for event ticketing and booking.

When you follow a link to, or interact directly with, a third-party service, that service may use its own cookies or similar technologies. Those cookies are controlled by the relevant third party rather than by Anyplace Theatre.

For example, Ticket Tailor may use cookies or similar technologies when you use its ticketing and booking services. Any cookies used by Ticket Tailor are subject to Ticket Tailor’s own privacy and cookie policies.

Payment processing for Ticket Tailor bookings may be provided through Stripe. Stripe may also use cookies or similar technologies when its services are used. Any such technologies are subject to Stripe’s own policies.

Third-party cookies may therefore be present when you interact with external services, even though they are not directly controlled by Anyplace Theatre.

COOKIE CONSENT

Where consent is required for a particular cookie or similar technology, we use CookieYes to help manage and record cookie preferences.

You can use the cookie-consent controls provided on our website to manage your preferences.

Essential cookies cannot normally be disabled through the consent mechanism where they are necessary for the website to function or to remember your cookie choices.

Our cookie scan and the services used by the website may change over time. We periodically review the cookies identified on the website and update this policy where appropriate.

HOW TO CONTROL COOKIES

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block cookies, delete existing cookies or receive a warning before a cookie is stored.

Please be aware that blocking or deleting some cookies may affect the functionality of the website.

You can also manage your preferences using the cookie-consent controls provided on our website.

CHANGES TO THIS COOKIE POLICY

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example if we:

• introduce new website functionality;
• add, remove or replace plugins or third-party services;
• change the way cookies or similar technologies are used; or
• need to reflect changes in applicable legal or regulatory requirements.

The date at the beginning of this policy indicates when it was last updated.
