Cookie Policy

What we store on your device.

Effective · Oct 8, 2026Last updated · Oct 1, 2026DRAFT · pending counsel review
Heads up · We use cookies and similar storage for the basic things — keeping you logged in, remembering your role, and counting page views. No ad-targeting cookies. No third-party cookies that sell your behavior.

A cookie is a small piece of data your browser stores when you visit a website. We use them sparingly. This page explains what we use, what each one does, and how to turn them off.

01

Strictly necessary cookies

These are required for the site to work. You can't turn them off without breaking the product.

  • bw_session — your login session. HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite=Lax. Expires when you log out or after 30 days of inactivity.
  • bw_csrf — anti-CSRF token. Session lifetime.
  • bw-role — your active role (Fan / Band / Venue). LocalStorage. Set by the role switcher.
02

Functional cookies

Improve your experience but the product runs without them.

  • bw_pref_theme — your theme preference (dark is default).
  • bw_pref_motion — reduced-motion preference.
  • bw_recent_searches — last 10 search queries for autocomplete.
03

Analytics cookies

Help us understand what works and what doesn't. Anonymous · no cross-site tracking.

  • _umami_id (if we're on Umami) or ph_* (if PostHog) — pseudonymous visitor ID. Aggregated to page views and funnels, not used to identify you personally.

You can opt out of analytics from /settings → Privacy.

04

Third-party cookies

We try to keep these minimal. Currently:

  • Stripe sets fraud-detection cookies on payment surfaces (legally required for PCI compliance).
  • Cloudflare sets __cf_bm for bot management and cf_clearance for challenge clearance.
  • That's it. We do not allow ad networks, social-media trackers, or behavioral-advertising cookies.
05

Your controls

  • Browser settings — every browser lets you block or delete cookies per site.
  • Global Privacy Control — we honor the GPC signal as an opt-out of "sale" / "sharing" under CCPA/CPRA. (We don't actually sell, but we respect the signal.)
  • Do Not Track — we honor DNT for analytics opt-out.
  • In-app: /settings → Privacy lets you turn off analytics, marketing emails, and SMS.

Blocking strictly-necessary cookies will log you out and break interactive features.

06

Changes

If we add or remove cookies, we'll update this page. Significant changes get a banner notice for 30 days. Contact privacy@bandwagon.run with questions.
