Cookie Policy
Last updated: 12 September 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how DJ Sime (“we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website.
We use cookies to operate our website, keep it secure, remember certain preferences, understand how the website is used and, where applicable, provide features such as online booking, enquiry forms and embedded media.
We aim to use cookies and similar technologies in accordance with applicable UK privacy and electronic communications laws, including the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 (PECR), as amended, the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when you visit a website.
Cookies can help a website to recognise your device, remember your preferences, provide requested functionality, maintain security and understand how visitors use the website.
Some cookies remain on your device only while your browser is open, while others may remain for a specified period or until you delete them.
Similar technologies, including local storage, pixels, scripts and other device-storage or access technologies, may operate in a similar way.
2. Types of Cookies We May Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies and similar technologies are required for the website or a service you have requested to function properly.
They may be used for purposes such as:
website security and fraud prevention;
maintaining website sessions;
remembering privacy or cookie choices;
enabling forms and booking functions;
authentication;
identifying and resolving technical faults; and
delivering services specifically requested by you.
Where these technologies fall within an exemption under PECR, we do not need to obtain your consent before using them.
Because they are necessary for the operation of the website or a service you have requested, they cannot normally be disabled through our cookie consent controls.
Analytics and Statistical Cookies
We may use analytics or statistical technologies to understand how visitors use our website.
For example, these technologies may help us understand:
which pages are visited;
how visitors move around the website;
how long visitors remain on particular pages;
whether website features are working correctly; and
how we can improve the performance and usability of the website.
UK law allows certain technologies used solely for qualifying statistical purposes to be used without prior consent where the relevant legal requirements are satisfied.
Where we rely on this exception, we will provide clear information about their use and provide you with a simple and free way to object.
Where an analytics technology does not meet the requirements of an applicable exemption, we will ask for your consent before it is activated.
Functional and Preference Cookies
These technologies may be used to remember choices or preferences and to improve or adapt the way the website appears or functions.
For example, they may remember certain display, language, accessibility or website preferences.
Some limited functionality technologies may qualify for an exemption from prior consent under PECR, provided the applicable legal requirements are met and you are given an appropriate means of objecting.
Where an exemption does not apply, we will obtain your consent before using them.
Third-Party and Embedded Content Cookies
Our website may use services provided by third parties, including booking systems, video platforms or other embedded services.
For example, if we display content from services such as YouTube or Vimeo, those providers may use cookies or similar technologies when their content is loaded.
Such technologies may collect information including your IP address, device information, browser information and your interaction with the embedded content.
Where third-party technologies require consent, we will take reasonable steps to prevent them from being activated until you have made the appropriate choice through our cookie consent system.
The relevant third-party provider may process information in accordance with its own privacy and cookie policies.
3. Your Cookie Choices
You can choose whether to allow cookies and similar technologies that require your consent.
When you first visit our website, you may be presented with cookie controls allowing you to:
Accept optional cookies;
Reject optional cookies; or
manage individual categories through Cookie Settings.
Rejecting optional cookies will not prevent you from accessing the main parts of our website.
However, some optional features, embedded content or third-party services may not work unless the relevant cookies or technologies are enabled.
Strictly necessary technologies and other technologies that are lawfully used under an applicable exemption may operate without prior consent.
4. Changing or Withdrawing Your Consent
You can change your cookie preferences or withdraw your consent at any time.
Where we rely on your consent, withdrawing it will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdrew your consent.
You can change your choices by using the Cookie Settings option available on our website.
It should be as easy to withdraw consent or reject optional cookies as it is to provide consent.
5. Browser Settings
You can also control or delete cookies through your web browser.
Most browsers allow you to:
view stored cookies;
delete existing cookies;
block some or all cookies;
prevent websites from storing new cookies; and
receive a warning before cookies are stored.
Please be aware that blocking all cookies through your browser may affect the operation of some parts of our website, particularly services that depend on strictly necessary cookies.
Browser settings are separate from the cookie controls provided on our website.
6. How Long Cookies Remain on Your Device
The length of time a cookie remains on your device depends on its purpose and type.
Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser, while others may remain for a defined period.
Where available, further information about individual cookies, their providers, purposes and duration can be found through our Cookie Settings or cookie information panel.
7. Personal Data and Cookies
Some cookies and similar technologies may involve the processing of personal data.
Where personal data is processed, it will be handled in accordance with applicable UK data protection law and our Privacy Policy.
Our Privacy Policy provides further information about how we collect, use, store and protect personal information and explains your data protection rights.
8. Third-Party Services
Where our website uses third-party services, those providers may process information independently of DJ Sime.
Where required, we will identify relevant third parties within our cookie controls or associated privacy information and explain the purposes for which their technologies are used.
We regularly review the third-party services used on our website and our cookie configuration.
9. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect:
changes to our website;
changes to the technologies or services we use;
changes to applicable law or regulatory guidance; or
changes to how we use cookies and similar technologies.
When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date shown at the top of this policy.
Where required by law, we will request fresh consent before using cookies or similar technologies for new purposes.
