Cookie Policy for The Official Red Dwarf Convention

Last updated: 15/08/2025

This Cookie Policy explains how The Official Red Dwarf Convention (“we”, “our”, or “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, mobile) when you visit a website. They help the site work properly, remember your preferences, and sometimes provide anonymised tracking data to third-party services.

In short: they’re like the ship’s memory banks, but much smaller and with fewer sarcastic remarks.

2. Types of cookies we use

We use the following types of cookies:

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These are essential for the site to function. Without them, some parts of the site won’t work (a bit like trying to run Red Dwarf without a functioning drive plate).

Examples: session cookies, login authentication, security-related cookies.

Performance & Analytics Cookies

These help us understand how visitors use our site so we can improve it. Data collected is aggregated and anonymous.

Example: Google Analytics.

Functionality Cookies

These remember your choices (like language or ticket preferences) so we can personalise your experience.

Marketing & Social Media Cookies

Used to deliver relevant adverts about the convention and allow you to share content via social media platforms.

3. Third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by third parties we use for analytics, advertising, and social features. We don’t control these cookies directly, but we ensure any providers we work with meet relevant data protection standards.

4. How to control cookies

You can control and/or delete cookies as you wish. You can:

Change your browser settings to block or delete cookies.

Use our cookie consent tool (if available) to manage preferences.

Please note: blocking some cookies may cause parts of our site to function less smoothly—like the vending machines on Red Dwarf when they’re in a bad mood.

5. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
