UrbanMixr.uk uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve your browsing experience, understand how our audience engages with our content, and support the editorial and commercial operations of our digital culture and city-life publication. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use, and how you can manage your preferences. It applies to all visitors from the United Kingdom, the European Union, and beyond. For more detail on how we handle your personal data, please see our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your actions and preferences (such as login details, language, and display settings) over a period of time, so you do not have to re-enter them each time you return or navigate between pages. Cookies may be set by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party services we integrate (third-party cookies).
Types of cookies we use
Essential cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of UrbanMixr.uk. They enable core functions such as security, network management, and accessibility. Without them, the site cannot function properly. Essential cookies do not require your prior consent, but we still inform you of their use. Examples include session cookies that maintain your login state and cookies that remember your cookie consent choice.
Analytics cookies
We use analytics cookies to understand how readers interact with our content – which articles are most popular, how you navigate the site, and where you come from. This helps us improve our editorial coverage of UK city culture, entertainment, food, nightlife, and lifestyle topics. The data collected is aggregated and anonymised where possible. We use reputable analytics providers that comply with UK and EU data protection laws.
Advertising and affiliate tracking cookies
UrbanMixr.uk is funded partly through display advertising and affiliate links, including ticketing and booking partnerships. Advertising cookies help us deliver relevant ads and measure their performance. Affiliate tracking cookies allow us to earn a small commission when you purchase a ticket, book a hotel, or use a link from one of our articles – at no extra cost to you. These cookies are set by our advertising and affiliate partners. For full details on these commercial relationships, see our Advertising & Affiliate Disclosure.
Embedded media cookies
Our articles often include embedded content from third-party services – such as maps (Google Maps), video (YouTube, Vimeo), social media feeds, and ticketing platforms (e.g., Ticketmaster, Skiddle). When you interact with embedded media, the third-party provider may set its own cookies for functionality, analytics, or advertising. We do not control these cookies. You should check the privacy and cookie policies of those third parties for more information.
Your consent and choices
When you first visit UrbanMixr.uk, you will see a cookie banner asking for your consent to set non-essential cookies (analytics, advertising, affiliate tracking, and embedded media). This applies to all visitors from the UK and EU. You can accept all, reject all, or customise your preferences. Your choice will be remembered for 12 months. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of our site.
Most web browsers also allow you to control cookies through their settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our site and your user experience.
