Cookie Policy

What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They let us remember preferences, keep you signed in, and understand how the platform is being used so we can make it better. This policy also covers local storage, session storage, and similar technologies that behave like cookies.

How We Use Cookies

EventLinqs (operated by Lawal Adams, ABN 30 837 447 587, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) uses cookies for four things: keeping your session secure, remembering your preferences, understanding aggregate usage, and preventing abuse. We do not use cookies for third-party advertising and we never sell cookie data.

Cookie Categories

We group cookies into four categories.

• Strictly necessary. Authentication, checkout session, CSRF protection, rate limiting. These cannot be disabled because the platform will not function without them. Examples: sb-access-token, sb-refresh-token,el_city (remembers your chosen browsing city).
• Preferences. Remember UI choices like the last viewed browsing city, currency, or list-vs-map view mode. Clearing them only resets those choices.
• Analytics. Cookieless or first-party analytics so we can see which pages are used and where the platform is slow. We aggregate this data and do not link it to your name or email.
• Fraud prevention. Used only when our abuse systems flag suspicious activity. These cookies help us tell real fans from bots and scalpers.

Third-Party Cookies

A small number of our partners set their own cookies when their features are used on EventLinqs:

• Stripe sets cookies on the checkout page for payment security and fraud screening. These are required for card payments to complete.
• Supabase sets session cookies when you are signed in. These are first-party to .eventlinqs.com.
• Plausible Analytics(see the next section for the full details) is cookieless by design — no cookies are set on your device for analytics.

Analytics (Plausible)

EventLinqs uses Plausible Analytics, a privacy-friendly analytics service based in the European Union, to understand which pages people visit and how features are used. We chose Plausible specifically because it respects our attendees and organisers.

• Plausible does NOT use cookies and does NOT track you across websites. No fingerprinting, no shadow profile.
• Plausible only counts aggregated, anonymised page views and events on eventlinqs.com. We see counts and trends, not individual people.
• Data is processed in the European Union under GDPR compliance. No data is sold, shared with advertisers, or used to build an advertising profile.
• Plausible's public privacy statement is at plausible.io/privacy and their data policy at plausible.io/data-policy.

Alongside page views, we track a small set of named conversion events — viewing an event, starting checkout, completing a purchase, saving an event, searching, and organisers signing up — so we can improve the product. These events carry only non-identifying metadata (e.g. event id, category, city, price range). They never carry your name, email, or payment details.

Your Choices

You can clear or block cookies in your browser at any time. Clearing them will sign you out and reset your preferences. Blocking strictly-necessary cookies will prevent login and checkout from working. Browser help pages:

• Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge.

Changes to this Policy

We'll update this page when our cookie use changes. The “last updated” date at the top will always reflect the most recent revision. Material changes will also be announced in-app.
