1. What are cookies and how do they work?



2. What are the categories of cookies?

Cookies can be categorised, following the European guide, as follows:

    1. Strictly necessary cookies

Strictly necessary cookies tend to be session cookies which are deleted at the end of the browser session.

Accepting these cookies is a condition of using the website, so if you prevent these cookies we can’t guarantee how our website will perform during your visit.

    1. Performance Cookies

‘Performance cookies’ collect information about how you use our website such as which pages you visit and if you experience any errors. These cookies don’t collect any information that could identify you – all the information is collected on an anonymous aggregate basis and is only used to help us improve how our website works, understand what interests our users and measure the effectiveness of our advertising. They also enable us to track the total number of visitors to our site. Most performance cookies tend to be session cookies which are deleted at the end of the browser session.

In some cases, some of these cookies are managed for us by third parties, but we don’t allow the third party to use the cookies for any purpose other than those listed above. Some of these third party performance cookies are not session based and have varying expiry dates.

We use a Double Click advertising tracking cookie to record visits to specific pages on our site. This cookie indicates which advert prompted your visit. Clicking on the following link will prevent you from receiving this cookie:


If you prevent performance cookies we cannot use information from your visit to improve your future website.

    1. Functionality Cookies

‘Functionality cookies’ are used to provide services or to remember your settings. This may include your user name if you have selected ‘remember me’ at a log in page. These cookies help to customise your Fanatic Con’s web experience. They also assist with the administration of certain other activities such as online prize promotions. We may associate personal information with a cookie file in those instances.



If you prevent cookies, including functionality cookies, this may mean we can’t offer you some services.
