Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to website owners.

We also use similar technologies such as local storage, which stores data in your web browser or mobile device. Local storage functions similarly to cookies but can store larger amounts of data and persists until you clear your browser data.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the Service to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually set in response to actions made by you, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms.

• Sidebar State Cookie: Stores your preference for the sidebar's open or closed state to maintain your preferred layout across page visits. This cookie expires after 7 days.
• Authentication Cookies: Our authentication provider (Auth0) may set cookies to maintain your login session and ensure secure access to your account.

Functional Cookies

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.

• Location Preferences: Stored in local storage to remember your selected location for location-based features.
• User Preferences: Stored in local storage to remember your app settings and preferences.
• Saved Events: Stored in local storage to maintain your list of saved events across sessions.

3. Local Storage Usage

In addition to cookies, we use browser local storage to store information on your device. This includes:

• Authentication Tokens: Temporary tokens used to authenticate API requests. These are automatically cleared when you log out.
• User Location: Your selected location preference for location-based features.
• Saved Events: Events you have saved for later viewing.
• Account Information: Temporary storage of account-related preferences (e.g., PayPal account connection status).

Local storage data is stored on your device and is not transmitted to our servers unless necessary for Service functionality. You can clear this data at any time through your browser or device settings.

4. Third-Party Cookies and Technologies

We use third-party services that may set their own cookies or use similar technologies:

Auth0 (Authentication)

Auth0 provides our authentication services and may set cookies to manage your login session. For more information about Auth0's cookie practices, please visit: https://auth0.com/privacy

Stripe (Payment Processing)

When you make a payment, Stripe may set cookies to process your transaction securely. For more information about Stripe's cookie practices, please visit: https://stripe.com/privacy

Google (Maps and Location Services)

When you use location-based features, Google may set cookies to provide map and location services. For more information about Google's cookie practices, please visit: https://policies.google.com/technologies/cookies

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics (gtag.js) to understand how visitors use the Service (for example, pages viewed and traffic sources). Google may set cookies or use similar technologies for this purpose. For more information, please visit: https://policies.google.com/technologies/cookies and https://policies.google.com/privacy

5. How Long Do Cookies Last?

Cookies may be either "persistent" or "session" cookies:

• Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session while you navigate the Service.
• Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. For example, our sidebar state cookie persists for 7 days.

Local storage data persists until you clear it manually through your browser or device settings, or until it is programmatically cleared by the Service (e.g., when you log out).

6. Your Choices Regarding Cookies

You have several options to manage or limit how cookies and local storage are used:

• Browser Settings: Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can set your browser to refuse cookies or alert you when cookies are being sent. However, disabling cookies may affect the functionality of the Service.
• Clear Local Storage: You can clear local storage data by clearing your browser cache or app data through your device settings.
• Opt-Out of Location Services: You can disable location services in your device settings, which will prevent location data from being stored.
• Log Out: Logging out of your account will clear authentication-related cookies and local storage data.

Please note that if you choose to disable cookies or clear local storage, some features of the Service may not function properly or may be unavailable.

7. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no standard for how DNT signals should be interpreted. We do not respond to DNT signals at this time.

8. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page indicates when this policy was last revised. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
