Cookie Policy — Pour Trail

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser when you visit a website. They are commonly used to remember preferences, maintain sessions, and collect analytics data.

2. Our Approach: Minimal Cookies

Pour Trail is built with your privacy in mind. We do not use advertising cookies, tracking cookies, or third-party marketing cookies. Our analytics are powered by Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is entirely cookieless — it measures aggregate page views and performance without storing any cookies on your device and without tracking you individually across the web.

3. Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

We may set a small session cookie when you submit a form (contact, newsletter sign-up, festival submission) to prevent duplicate submissions and protect against automated abuse. This cookie is temporary, expires when you close your browser, and contains no personal data.

Cloudflare Security Cookies

Cloudflare, our hosting and security provider, may set strictly necessary cookies to protect the Site against malicious traffic (e.g., DDoS protection). These cookies are essential for the Site to function securely and cannot be opted out of.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Certain pages on Pour Trail link to or embed content from third-party services such as Eventbrite, Google Maps, or YouTube. If you interact with embedded third-party content, those services may set their own cookies on your device, subject to their own privacy and cookie policies. Pour Trail does not control these cookies.

5. How to Control Cookies

Because we use so few cookies, there is very little to manage. If you wish, you can control cookies through your browser settings:

Note: blocking essential cookies may affect form functionality on the Site.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy if our cookie use changes. We will revise the "Last updated" date when we do.
