Cookies
The honest, short version.
We do not run advertising trackers, we do not use cross-site tracking pixels, and we do not sell your data. Here is everything that actually touches your browser.
| Name | Type | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| aac_admin | Strictly necessary | Keeps a conference organiser signed in to the admin area. Only ever set after someone signs in, never for a normal visitor. | 12 hours |
| aac-consent | Strictly necessary | Remembers the choice you made in the cookie banner. Stored in localStorage rather than a cookie, so declining does not itself create one. | Until you clear your browser storage |
| Vercel Web Analytics | Analytics, optional | Counts page views and a small number of events, such as which ticket tier people click. Cookieless and not tied to an identity. Only collected if you choose Accept all. | No cookie set |
Your current choice
You have not chosen yet. Analytics are off until you do.
What “required only” actually does
It genuinely switches analytics off. Events are not queued for later and not sent in the background. We built the banner so the choice does something, because a consent banner that ignores you is worse than not having one.
When you buy a ticket
Payments are handled by Stripe, which sets its own cookies for fraud prevention on the checkout page. Those are strictly necessary to take a payment safely. Card details never reach our servers.
More detail on what we store and why is in the privacy policy.
