Site storage and controls

Cookie Policy

This policy explains how Festival Finder USA uses cookies and similar technologies to operate, secure, measure, and improve the website, and how Google advertising technology is integrated.

Effective date: September 17, 2026

What cookies and similar technologies are

Cookies are small text files stored by a browser. Similar technologies can include local storage, tags, pixels, device identifiers, and server logs. Some are placed by Festival Finder USA; others may be placed or read by service providers whose tools are used on the site.

Technology categories

Essential and security

These support core site operation, administrative login, form security, abuse prevention, session management, and technical reliability. Blocking them can affect forms, account functions, or site stability.

Functional

Functional storage may remember a visitor’s choices or support a feature requested by the visitor.

Performance and caching

Performance tools may process technical information so pages can be delivered efficiently and problems can be diagnosed. Festival Finder USA currently uses LiteSpeed Cache.

Analytics

Festival Finder USA currently uses Google Site Kit and a Google tag connected to Google Analytics. Analytics technologies may record page views, referrals, device and browser characteristics, approximate geography, and interactions. This helps evaluate content usefulness, traffic patterns, and site performance.

Advertising

Google AdSense code is installed on this website, although ads may not be shown on every visit. When Google advertising operates here, Google and participating advertising partners may place or read cookies, or use web beacons, IP addresses, identifiers, and similar technologies to serve, personalize where permitted, limit, and measure ads. Ad selection may reflect visits to this site or other websites. Learn more in the Privacy Policy.

Google information and advertising controls

Google explains how information is processed in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services. You can manage Google ad personalization in Google Ads Settings and review participating-company opt-outs through YourAdChoices.

Consent and cookie controls

Your browser and device can block or delete cookies. You can manage Google ad personalization through Google Ads Settings. Where an on-site consent control is displayed, use it to make or change the choices it offers. Viewing this policy does not give consent for nonessential storage or personalized advertising where consent is legally required. Contact us if you expect a consent control but do not see one.

Browser and device controls

Most browsers allow you to view, delete, or block cookies and to limit site storage. Browser help documentation provides device-specific instructions. Blocking cookies can affect preferences, forms, measurement, and other features. Clearing cookies may also clear saved consent choices, so the site may ask again on a later visit.

Third-party websites

Links to festival organizers, ticketing services, venues, tourism offices, and other sites lead to services with their own cookie practices. Festival Finder USA does not control storage set by a third-party site after a visitor follows an external link.

Changes

This policy will be updated when material website tools or practices change, including changes to advertising providers or settings. The effective date identifies the latest published version.
