COOKIE POLICY
Effective date: 1 January 2026
Last updated: 1 January 2026
1. About this policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Oper8 Events L.L.C-FZ ("Oper8 Events," "we," "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on www.oper8events.com. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
By continuing to use our website, or by accepting cookies through the banner shown on your first visit, you consent to the use of cookies as described below. You can withdraw consent or change your preferences at any time — see Section 5.
2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to the site owner about how the site is used.
Similar technologies — such as web beacons, pixels, and local storage — work in comparable ways. In this policy, we refer to all of them as "cookies."
3. Cookies we use
Our website is built on Squarespace and uses only the following categories of cookies:
Strictly necessary cookies
These are required for the website to function. They handle things like security, page navigation, and remembering that you've dismissed the cookie banner. They cannot be switched off.
Examples: crumb (Squarespace security), ss_cookieAllowed (records your cookie consent).
Performance and analytics cookies
These help us understand how visitors use our site — which pages are viewed, how long people stay, and where they come from. The data is aggregated and does not identify you individually. We use these insights to improve our content and layout.
Examples: ss_cvisit, ss_cvr, ss_cid (Squarespace's built-in analytics).
Functional cookies
These remember choices you make on the site (such as your language or region) to give you a smoother experience on return visits.
We do NOT use:
Advertising or marketing cookies
Third-party tracking cookies for retargeting
Social media tracking pixels
4. Third parties
Our website is hosted by Squarespace, Inc., which sets the cookies described above on our behalf. Squarespace's own cookie usage is described at squarespace.com/cookie-policy.
If we embed content from third parties in future (for example, a video from Vimeo or a map from Google), those third parties may set additional cookies. Where this happens, we will update this policy and add the relevant category to our cookie banner.
5. Managing your cookie preferences
Through the cookie banner: When you first visit our site, a banner appears letting you accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can reopen the banner and change your preferences at any time by clearing your site cookies and reloading the page.
Through your browser: Every modern browser lets you view, delete, or block cookies from any site. Look in the browser's Privacy or Security settings. Blocking all cookies may prevent parts of the site from working correctly.
Do Not Track: Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. Because there is no consistent industry standard for how sites should respond to DNT, our site does not currently respond to it. We honour our cookie banner setting instead.
6. Changes to this policY
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time — for example, if we add a new type of content or analytics tool. The "Last updated" date at the top of the page will always reflect the current version.
