Cookie Policy

Last updated: 1 August 2026

Essential cookies

FestMate uses essential cookies for WordPress sessions, authentication, security, saved appearance and festival preferences. These are required for requested site functions.

Optional cookies

Analytics, advertising or non-essential personalisation cookies must not be set until the user has made a valid choice. The final cookie banner must offer equally prominent accept and reject controls and a persistent preferences link.

Third parties

Stripe may set cookies or similar technologies when payment components are enabled. The direct Jitsi meeting service loads only after a signed-in member clicks Join Live Call and may use browser storage or related technologies required for the requested call. Any analytics, map or other embedded service must be added to the consent inventory before launch.

Managing choices

Users can use the cookie-preference control and browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may prevent login or marketplace functions.

Required implementation record

Before publication, maintain a cookie inventory containing name, provider, purpose, expiry, category and international-transfer information.
