Cookie policy
1. In short
This website uses only the cookies it needs to work until you say otherwise. Visitor statistics (Google Analytics) and ad measurement (the Meta Pixel) are switched on only if you allow them in the cookie bar. You can change your mind at any time:
2. What a cookie is
A cookie is a small text file a website stores in your browser, so it can remember something between pages or visits. Some of the items below live in your browser's local storage rather than in a cookie; they are listed here too and follow exactly the same rules.
3. How we ask
- On your first visit a bar offers Settings, Reject all and Accept all. Nothing optional runs until you choose: Google Analytics is not even loaded, and nothing is stored for marketing.
- In Settings you can allow each category separately. Necessary cookies are always on.
- Your choice is kept for 6 months in the
bcr_consentcookie. After that we ask again. - So that we can show what was agreed, each choice is also saved on our server with a random ID, the time, the categories, the page and the language. We do not store your IP address or anything else that identifies you.
- You can change or withdraw your consent at any time with Cookie settings at the bottom of every page. When you switch a category off, we delete its cookies on this website.
4. The cookies we use
Necessary
They keep the website working and cannot be switched off.
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Expiry |
|---|---|---|---|
bcr_consent | us | Keeps your cookie choice. | 6 months |
bcr_lang | us | Remembers the language you picked in the language menu. | 1 year |
__stripe_mid | Stripe | Fraud prevention for card payments. Set only when you open checkout. | 1 year |
__stripe_sid | Stripe | Fraud prevention for card payments. Set only when you open checkout. | 30 minutes |
Functional
We do not use any functional cookies at the moment. The category is there so that anything we add later stays off until you allow it.
Analytics
Google Analytics shows us how many people visit and which pages they read, so we can improve the website. Loaded only with your consent.
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Expiry |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Tells visits apart and counts page views. | 2 years | |
_ga_0PJGKK278B | Keeps the state of the current visit. | 2 years |
Marketing
The Meta Pixel (Facebook, Instagram) measures which of our ads brought you here and helps us show the festival to people who may be interested. Loaded only with your consent.
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Expiry |
|---|---|---|---|
_fbp | Meta | Recognises your browser for ad measurement. | 3 months |
_fbc | Meta | The ad click that brought you here, when you came from an ad. | 3 months |
bcr_vid | us | A random visitor ID, shared with Meta so that a later purchase can be matched to the ad. Cookie and local storage. | 13 months |
bcr_attr | us | Which campaign brought you here (UTM parameters, ad click ID). Cookie and local storage. | 3 months |
Once loaded, the Meta Pixel also keeps a few items in local storage (lastExternalReferrer, lastExternalReferrerTime, multiFbc); we delete them when you switch marketing off. Meta may also use its own cookies on facebook.com and instagram.com under its own policy.
5. Who else receives data
- Google (Google Ireland Limited) for Google Analytics, only with analytics consent.
- Meta (Meta Platforms Ireland Limited) for the Meta Pixel, only with marketing consent.
- Stripe (Stripe Payments Europe Limited) to process card payments safely.
These providers may process data outside the European Union. They are certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
6. Deleting cookies in your browser
You can also delete or block cookies in your browser settings at any time. If you block necessary cookies, parts of the website, such as checkout, may not work.
