What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when you visit a website. They help the site remember your actions and preferences over time. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and tracking pixels, which also store or access information on your device. Under UK law, we must inform you about these technologies and obtain your consent before setting any that are not strictly necessary.
How We Use Cookies on This Site
We use cookies only for two purposes:
- Essential website functions – to keep the site secure and working correctly.
- Embedded videos – to allow you to watch YouTube videos on our blog posts (only after you consent).
We do not use analytics cookies, advertising cookies, social media tracking pixels, or any other non‑essential tracking tools at this time.
Types of Cookies We Use

These cookies are essential for the website to operate. They do not require your consent under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).

Third-Party Cookies (None Currently Used)
We do not currently use any third-party cookies such as YouTube, Vimeo, analytics providers, social media scripts, or advertising networks.
If we enable third-party embeds or services in the future, this Cookie Policy will be updated before any such cookies are set.
How We Obtain Your Consent
When you first visit Event Vendor Services, you will see a cookie banner that provides clear choices about the use of non-essential cookies.
At the moment, our site does not set any non-essential or third-party cookies. However, the banner is already in place so that you can make an informed choice if such technologies are added in the future.
You will see the following options:
- Accept All – allows all cookies, including any future third-party embeds such as YouTube or analytics tools.
- Reject Non-Essential – allows only strictly necessary cookies; any future third-party embeds will remain blocked.
- Manage Preferences – allows you to enable or disable individual categories (e.g., enable YouTube but reject analytics, if added later).
You can withdraw or change your consent at any time via the “Manage Cookies” link in our website footer.
When you open this link, the banner will reappear so you can update your preferences.
