How we collect data
Cookies
We collect anonymised data in the form of Cookies, which we use to inform our website analytics. A detailed breakdown of the cookies we collect is available below.
WooCommerce & Transactional Data
This site uses WooCommerce to process customer transactions, which necessarily collects transactional data relating to print-at-home ticket purchases. This data is only used only to ratify transactions, and providing billing information for payments made for the tickets sold by this website. This data is never used for marketing purposes, and is automatically deleted from this website's database after one month. The transactional data is held for this period to ensure customers are able to process refunds, or make enquiries relating to their purchase.
For transactional purposes, this website stores first and last names, billing address, email and telephone number as methods of validating purchases.
Who we share your data with
Stripe
In order to process payments, we pass our transactions along to the secure payment gateway Stripe. Stripe's privacy policy is available to read here.
We do not share customer data with any other party.
What rights you have over your data
You may request to erase your data, or receive an exported version of your data by contacting our Customer Relations team via customer@edinburghtrams.com
Our data breach proceedure
edinburghticket.com is constantly monitored for data breaches, with an alert system set up to monitor file changes and all attempts to login to the our content management system. We operate over HTTPS, to ensure packet encryption for our data, and our hosting platform provides constant file change monitoring separate to that which monitors our content management system.

Use Of Cookies On Our Website
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to monitor usage of the website. Google Analytics collects information anonymously. It reports website trends without identifying individual visitors (not by name or IP address).
__utma This cookie is typically written to the browser upon the first visit to your site from that web browser. If the cookie has been deleted by the browser operator, and the browser subsequently visits your site, a new __utma cookie is written with a different unique ID. This cookie is used to determine unique visitors to your site and it is updated with each page view. Additionally, this cookie is provided with a unique ID that Google Analytics uses to ensure both the validity and accessibility of the cookie as an extra security measure. The cookie will expire 2 years from set/update.
__utmb This cookie is used to establish and continue a user session with your site. When a user views a page on your site, the Google Analytics code attempts to update this cookie. If it does not find the cookie, a new one is written and a new session is established. Each time a user visits a different page on your site, this cookie is updated to expire in 30 minutes, thus continuing a single session for as long as user activity continues within 30-minute intervals. This cookie expires when a user pauses on a page on your site for longer than 30 minutes. You can modify the default length of a user session with the _setSessionCookieTimeout() method. Cookie expires 30 minutes from set/update.
__utmc This cookie is no longer used by the ga.js tracking code to determine session status. Historically, this cookie operated in conjunction with the __utmb cookie to determine whether or not to establish a new session for the user. For backwards compatibility purposes with sites still using the urchin.js tracking code, this cookie will continue to be written and will expire when the user exits the browser. However, if you are debugging your site tracking and you use the ga.js tracking code, you should not interpret the existence of this cookie in relation to a new or expired session.
__utmz This cookie stores the type of referral used by the visitor to reach your site, whether via a direct method, a referring link, a website search, or a campaign such as an ad or an email link. It is used to calculate search engine traffic, ad campaigns and page navigation within your own site. The cookie is updated with each page view to your site. Cookie expires 6 months from set/update.
