Cookie Policy
Last Revised: 08/09/2022
We, The Walt Disney Company Limited use technologies on this website to collect information that helps us improve your online experience and deliver relevant advertisements. In this Cookie Policy, we collectively refer to these technologies, which include cookies, pixels, web beacons, and gifs, as cookies. This policy explains the different types of cookies used on this site and how you can control them. We may change this Cookie Policy at any time. Please take a look at the LAST REVISED legend at the top of this page to see when this Cookie Policy was last revised. Any changes in this Cookie Policy will become effective when we make the revised Cookie Policy available on or through this site.
We hope that this policy helps you understand, and feel more confident about, the use of cookies on this site. If you have any further queries, please contact us at dataprotection@disney.co.uk.
For further information on how we process the personal data of our users, please visit our Privacy Policy.
- WHAT IS A COOKIE?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device. They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work in a better, more efficient way. They can do this because websites can read and write these files, enabling them to recognise you and remember important information that will make your use of a website more convenient (e.g., by remembering your user preferences).
- HOW DO THIRD PARTIES USE COOKIES ON THIS SITE?
In some circumstances, we may work with third parties to provide services on this site as well as in relation to advertising activities. In particular, third-party advertisers and other organizations may use their own cookies to collect information about your activities on this site and/or the advertisements you have clicked on. This information may be used by them to serve advertisements that they believe are most likely to be of interest to you based on the content you have viewed. Third-party advertisers may also use this information to measure the effectiveness of their advertisements. In this regard, we may have direct arrangements with our advertising and social media partners, to place their cookies on this site. The complete list of these cookies is available in section 3 of this Cookie Policy.
In other cases, we may have arrangements with intermediaries, such as our media agencies and/or adtech platforms, to place their cookies on this site in order to sell advertising space available on our site to any third party advertiser. This activity is called “programmatic advertising”. The entire process functions through an auction system managed by such intermediaries and takes place in less than a second (between the time a user requests a web page and the time it takes for that page to load in the browser), allowing third party advertisers to know a user’s cookie (without collecting directly identifiable information, but simply by uniquely identifying its browser or device and matching it with other information they already own) and make the offer, including placing their own cookies on such user’s browser or device. Because of the dynamic nature of programmatic, we are not able to control and list in advance all third-party cookies that may be placed by such advertisers while displaying their ads. In any case, the list of cookies installed by the intermediaries we engage to perform programmatic advertising is available in section 3 below. If you disable these cookies, programmatic advertising will be blocked.
To disable or reject third-party cookies, please refer to the relevant third party’s privacy policy and/or cookie policy. You can also learn more about controlling these cookies in section 4 below.

Flash Cookies. In certain situations, we may use Adobe Flash Player to deliver special content, such as video clips or animation. To improve your user experience, Local Shared Objects (commonly known as Flash cookies) are employed to provide functions, such as remembering your settings and preferences. Flash cookies are stored on your device, but they are managed through an interface different from the one provided by your web browser. This means it is not possible to manage Flash cookies at the browser level, in the same way you would manage other cookies. Instead, you can access your Flash management tools from Adobe’s website directly. The Adobe website provides comprehensive information on how to delete or disable Flash cookies. See http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager.html for further information. Please be aware that if you disable or reject Flash cookies for this site, you may not be able to access certain features, such as video content or services that require you to sign-in.
