What cookies are

Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Local storage works in a similar way. This page lists what moviesintheaters.us uses and why. For how we handle personal information in general, see our Privacy Policy.

Essential (always on)

  • Sign-in session (next-auth cookies): keeps you signed in and protects forms against cross-site request forgery. Set only when you sign in or use a form.
  • Security (Cloudflare cookies such as __cf_bm): tell real visitors apart from bots and attacks.
  • Local storage on your device: your guest watchlist and the city or ZIP code you set for showtimes. This stays in your browser and is not sent to us unless you sign in.

Analytics

Google Analytics (cookies named _ga and _ga_*, kept up to 2 years) counts visits and shows which pages are useful. It does not tell us who you are.

Advertising

When ads are shown, Google AdSense and the advertising partners Google works with use cookies (for example __gads, __gpi and IDE on doubleclick.net) to show ads, limit how often you see the same ad, measure results and prevent ad fraud. If personalised ads are allowed, these cookies also let Google and its partners show ads based on your visits to this and other websites. See how Google uses cookies in advertising.

Consent

In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, analytics and advertising cookies are only used after you agree in our consent message, and you can change your choice later from the "Privacy and cookie settings" link. Elsewhere they are on by default, and you can turn off personalised ads using the options below. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we turn off ad personalisation for that browser.
