The National Cinema Weekend hub (cinemaweekender.com) uses a small number of strictly-necessary cookies to run and secure the site, and — only if you agree — marketing cookies from Meta (Facebook and Instagram) and TikTok that help us measure the paid advertising for National Cinema Weekend. We show a consent banner the first time you visit: you can accept all, reject all, or choose. If you reject, no marketing cookies are set and no advertising pixel loads. You can change your choice at any time using the “Cookie settings” link in the footer.
The site is managed by Cinema First and powered by CineOS. We do not sell your data, and we take no bookings or payments — when you’re ready to book you go to the cinema’s own website.
Cookies are small text files that a website, or a service it uses, can place on your device. Some are strictly necessary to make a site work or keep it secure; others, like the marketing cookies described below, are optional and are only used with your consent.
These are always on because the site needs them to work; under UK rules (the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations) they are exempt from consent:
If you accept these cookies, we load the analytics and advertising tags from the platforms below. These set their own cookies and share information about your visit (such as pages viewed, your device and a cookie or advertising identifier, and your IP address) with the platform, so we can measure how our National Cinema Weekend advertising is performing and reach relevant audiences. They only load after you consent, and not at all if you reject.
These platforms operate globally, so this may involve transferring data outside the UK; where it does, appropriate safeguards (such as the UK’s approved transfer mechanisms) are relied upon. There is more on how we handle information in our Privacy Policy.
Some parts of the hub load content from other services. When that content loads, those third parties may set their own cookies or use similar technologies, under their own policies:
The “near me” feature uses your browser’s location permission, not a cookie. It only runs if you actively choose it and your browser grants permission, your location is used in your browser to find nearby cinemas, and it is not stored on our servers. You can turn location access on or off at any time in your browser or device settings. There is more on this in our Privacy Policy.
When you follow a link to a participating cinema’s website, you leave this hub and that cinema’s own cookie and privacy policies apply. We have no control over the cookies used by other websites.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the “Cookie settings” link in the footer of any page — switching marketing off stops the pixels loading on your next page view. You can also manage or block cookies in your browser settings, though blocking strictly-necessary cookies may stop parts of the site from working. You can learn more about cookies generally at the ICO’s website, ico.org.uk.
If we change how the hub uses cookies, we will update this page and, where the law requires it, ask for your consent before any new non-essential cookies are set. The “last updated” date above shows the current version.
Cinema First, 22 Golden Square, London W1F 9AD.
