  • Performance cookies: These Cookies are used specifically for gathering data on how visitors use a website, which pages of a website are visited most often, or if they get error messages on web pages. These cookies monitor only the performance of the site as the User interacts with it. These cookies don’t collect identifiable information on visitors, which means all the data collected is anonymous and only used to improve the functionality of a website.
  • Advertising and Targeting Cookies: Advertising cookies are placed on their computer by advertisers and ad servers in order to display advertisements that are most likely to be of interest to them. These cookies allow advertisers and ad servers to gather information about the Users and Festival Organisers as and when they visit the Website,  alternate the ads sent to a specific computer, and track how often an ad has been viewed and by whom. These cookies are linked to a computer and do not gather any personal information about Users and Festival Organisers.
  • Analytics Cookies: Analytics cookies monitor how Users reached the Website, and how they interact with and move around once they are on the Website. These cookies let us know what features on the Website are working the best and what features on the Website can be improved.
  • Our Cookies: Our cookies are “first-party cookies”, and can be either permanent or temporary. These are necessary cookies, without which the Website won’t work properly or be able to provide certain features and functionalities. Some of these may be manually disabled in their browser, but may affect the functionality of the Website.

8. How do third parties use cookies for advertising?

We share and receive online data collected through cookies and similar technology with our advertising partners. This means that when you are on another website, you may be shown advertising based on your browsing patterns on our sites. We may also show you advertising on our sites based on your browsing patterns on other sites that we have obtained from our advertising partners.

Online retargeting is another form of online advertising that allows us and some of our advertising partners to show you advertising based on your browsing patterns and interactions with other sites. The use of cookies may mean that when you are on another site, you may be shown advertising based on what you have looked at on our sites. For example, if you have visited the website of an online clothes shop, you may start seeing advertisements from that same shopping site displaying special offers or showing you the products you were browsing. This allows companies to advertise to you if you leave their website without making a purchase.

Other organisations also collect User information on our sites through cookies, tags and pixels. Tags and pixels, also known as web beacons, are similar to cookies but are collected through embedded images.

9. Advertisement on website:

We may use third-party advertising websites to serve advertisements when you visit our Website. Such websites may use information including your personal information in order to provide advertisements regarding goods and services that may be of interest to you. We cannot confirm or guarantee or take responsibility for the privacy practices or policies of such third-party advertising websites. We disclaim any liability towards any losses due to privacy infringement or other causes that you may suffer pursuant to access of such third-party advertising websites. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of the relevant third-party advertising websites prior to accessing them.

10. Social Media Marketing:

There are times when we want to reach our Users who use social media to market our own products and services. We use cookies to help with this. For example, we place a pixel on our web pages that allows social media platforms to place cookies on our User’s web browsers.

When a User who uses such a social media platform returns to such a social media platform from our site, the social media platform can identify such Users belonging to our  group of readers and, on our behalf, deliver  marketing messages to them. f Based upon our agreements with these other companies, the data that can be obtained from a visit to our website is limited to the URL of the pages that have been visited and, in some cases, the status of any unfinished or completed commercial transactions undertaken with us; together with the limited information a browser might pass on such information like its IP address.

11. Privacy Policy:

For more information about how we use information collected by cookies and other tracking technologies, please refer to our Privacy Policy posted on the Website. This Cookie Policy is part of and is incorporated into our Privacy Policy. By using the Website, Users and Festival Organisers agree to be bound by this Cookie Policy and our Privacy Policy.

These Privacy settings allow you to withdraw your consent to placing cookies, or object to the use of data collected by cookies under legitimate interests of the Users.

Opting out will reduce the number of advertising partners with whom we share your data, although you will still see some advertising that has been tailored to you as well as advertising intended for Users and Festival organisers in general.

You can switch some cookies off through the ‘Your Online Choices site.’ You may need to do this again each time you use a different IP address, device, or virtual private network. You can also adjust the global privacy setting or plug-in which should be communicated to use via your browser.

It is also possible to stop your browser from accepting cookies altogether by changing your browser’s cookie settings. You can usually find these settings in the “options” or “preferences” menu of your browser. The following links may be helpful, or you can use the “Help” option in your browser.
