Cookie Policy


About this policy

We use a few essential cookies to make our website work, and analytics cookies only if you agree to them. We don't use advertising or social media tracking cookies.

This policy covers goldcrestevents.co.uk, run by Goldcrest Events Ltd, trading as Goldcrest Global Events (company number 11553286), 23 Course Road, Ascot, Berkshire, SL5 7HH.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. Similar technologies, such as your browser's local storage, work in the same way, and this policy covers them too. Cookies set by the site you are visiting are first-party cookies. Cookies set by another company's service are third-party cookies.

Cookies we use

Our website is built on Squarespace, which sets the cookies below. Strictly necessary cookies are always on, because the site cannot run securely without them. Analytics cookies are only set if you select "Accept all" or switch them on under "Manage cookies". They show us, in aggregate, how many people visit, which pages they view and how they found us.

Strictly necessary cookies (always on)

  • crumb protects the site against cross-site request forgery, a type of security attack. It lasts until you close your browser.

  • ss_cookieAllowed remembers your cookie choices. It lasts 30 days.

  • test checks that your browser accepts cookies. It lasts until you close your browser.

  • RecentRedirect stops redirect loops if you follow an old link to a page that has moved. It lasts 30 minutes.

Analytics cookies (only with your consent)

These cookies identify unique visitors and track their visits. ss_cvr, ss_cid and ss_cpvisit last 2 years. ss_cvisit and ss_cvt last 30 minutes.

Squarespace may change the cookies its platform uses. Its current list is in The cookies Squarespace uses.

Third-party cookies

We don't use advertising, remarketing or social media tracking cookies. We don't embed third-party content such as videos, maps or social media feeds.

Our site links to other websites, including LinkedIn and EA Collective Global. If you follow one of those links, that site may set its own cookies, which its own cookie policy covers.

Your choices

When you first visit, a banner asks you to choose: "Accept all", "Decline all" or "Manage cookies". We only set analytics cookies if you accept them, and declining them does not change how the site works.

You can change your mind at any time by selecting "Cookie Preferences" at the bottom of the screen.

You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block strictly necessary cookies, parts of the site may not work properly. All About Cookies explains how to do this in each browser.

Changes and contact

If the cookies on our site change, we will update this policy and the date at the top.

If you have questions about this policy, email abi@goldcrestevents.co.uk or write to Goldcrest Events Ltd, 23 Course Road, Ascot, Berkshire, SL5 7HH. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal data. If you are unhappy with how we have handled your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office.
