Cookie Policy

1. About This Policy

This Cookie Policy describes how Membrz Lda uses cookies and local storage on joinmembrz.com, a live events platform. We use them to keep the platform working and, with consent, to measure site use through anonymised analytics. It supplements our Privacy Policy.

2. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. We also use browser local storage to record your consent choice. These technologies can support sessions, preferences, and limited usage measurement.

3. Your Consent

Under the EU ePrivacy Directive and GDPR, we obtain prior consent before setting non-essential cookies. On your first visit, the banner lets you accept all cookies or essential cookies only. Your choice is stored in local storage for 12 months.

Strictly necessary cookies are needed for the platform to work and do not require consent. Other cookies remain blocked until you consent.

Change your choice anytime through "Cookie preferences" in the footer, which reopens the banner. You may also clear this site's cookies and local storage in your browser settings.

Browser-transmitted opt-out signals, including the Global Privacy Control (GPC), are honoured: where we detect a GPC signal we treat it as a rejection of analytics and marketing categories and do not set those cookies.

The self-hosted _analytics cookie is set only with your consent and tracks anonymised page views and visits to help us understand site usage.

6. Managing Cookies

• Use the cookie banner or "Cookie preferences" in the footer to change your consent;
• Browser settings let you view, block, or delete cookies. Guidance for common browsers is available at aboutcookies.org;
• Blocking strictly necessary cookies can stop the platform working properly, including account login and ticket checkout;
• The Global Privacy Control signal is honoured: analytics and marketing cookies are not set for visitors who transmit a GPC opt-out signal.

7. Changes to This Policy

If our cookies change, we will update this policy and its "Last updated" date. Where the EU ePrivacy Directive or GDPR requires it, we will request consent again.
