Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember information about your visit, which can make your next visit easier and the site more useful to you.

These are required for the platform to function. You cannot opt out of essential cookies while using Festaiv.

• Session Authentication — Keeps you securely logged in. Expires when you log out or after 30 days of inactivity.
• CSRF Protection — A security token that prevents cross-site request forgery attacks. Expires with your session.
• Cookie Consent— Remembers your cookie preferences so we don't ask you every time. Expires after 12 months.

These improve your experience but are not strictly necessary. You can disable them.

• User Preferences — Stores settings like your preferred view modes and notification preferences. Expires after 12 months.

We may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand how people use Festaiv — which pages are visited, where users drop off, and what features are popular. We do not use Google Analytics or any advertising-based analytics platform. Any analytics we deploy will respect Do Not Track signals and will not create individual user profiles.

• Stripe — When you make a payment, Stripe may set cookies for fraud detection and payment processing. These are governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy.

We do not allow any other third-party advertising or tracking cookies on Festaiv.

You can control cookies through several methods:

• Browser settings:Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Check your browser's help section for instructions.
• Platform settings: As we add non-essential cookie categories, we will provide in-app controls to manage your preferences.

Note that blocking essential cookies will prevent you from logging in and using core platform features.

• Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser or log out
• Persistent cookies (preferences, consent) expire after 12 months
• Authentication cookies expire after 30 days of inactivity

If we add new cookie categories or change how we use cookies, we will update this page and re-request your consent where required.
