Cookies Policy
Last updated: July 2026
This document is a template describing the cookies the Service currently uses. It is provided as a starting point and is not legal advice. Please review it before publishing.
1. What are cookies
Cookies are small text files stored in your browser. We use them only to keep you signed in and to remember your interface preferences. We do not use advertising, profiling or cross-site tracking cookies, and we do not use third-party analytics.
2. Cookies we use
| Name | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
session | Keeps you signed in to your account. | Strictly necessary | ~30 days (or until sign-out) |
mer_country | Remembers the last country you viewed. | Functional | ~1 year |
mer_cats | Remembers your selected event-type filters. | Functional | ~1 year |
mer_sidebar | Remembers whether the side panel is open or collapsed. | Functional | ~1 year |
mer_intro | Remembers that you dismissed the introductory banner. | Functional | ~1 year |
The session cookie is http-only (not accessible to JavaScript) and is strictly necessary: without it you cannot sign in. The other cookies simply save your preferences and are not required to use the public calendar.
3. Third-party cookies
When you start a subscription you are redirected to our payment provider (Stripe), which sets its own cookies governed by its privacy and cookie policies. Resources loaded to render the interface (content delivery networks and font providers) may also set technical cookies. We do not control these cookies; please refer to those providers’ policies.
4. Managing cookies
You can delete or block cookies through your browser settings. You can also clear the preference cookies listed above at any time. Note that blocking the session cookie will prevent you from signing in, and clearing the functional cookies will simply reset your interface preferences.
