This page explains how Tech Events Guide uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit the site. Cookies are small text files saved by your browser to remember settings, track your path through pages and help us understand which content proves most useful. This policy covers what we store, what reaches third parties and how you can decline or remove cookies without losing access to the guides.
Cookies in plain terms
A cookie is a short piece of data—usually an alphanumeric string—that a website asks your browser to save. When you return, the browser sends that string back so the site recognises you. Some cookies disappear when you close the tab (session cookies); others remain on your device for weeks or months (persistent cookies). Tech Events Guide sets a handful of persistent cookies to remember your preferences, such as whether you have dismissed a banner or chosen a particular view of event listings.
We do not use cookies to collect personal identifiers such as your name or email address unless you provide them through a contact form. The cookies we control store anonymous identifiers and timestamps only. A typical cookie on this site might record that you visited three pages in one session, or that you last viewed the site on 14 January 2026.
What is stored and for how long
Tech Events Guide sets the following categories of cookie:
- Strictly necessary cookies that keep the site working—for example, remembering that you have accepted this policy or maintaining your language preference across pages. These expire after twelve months.
- Analytics cookies that count visits and show us which articles receive the most attention. We use these to decide which topics deserve expansion. They expire after two years.
- Preference cookies that store choices you make, such as sorting event listings by date rather than location. These expire after six months.
No cookie on this site tracks you across other domains. Each one serves a narrow purpose tied to your experience here, and all expire automatically within the periods stated above. Clearing your browser cache removes them immediately.
Embedded third parties
Some pages embed content from external platforms—a video hosted on another service, a map showing venue locations or a social-sharing button. When you load a page carrying such an embed, the third party may set its own cookies under its privacy policy, not ours. Tech Events Guide does not control what those scripts store or how long they persist.
The third-party services currently embedded on this site include map providers for venue lookups and analytics platforms that measure aggregate traffic. Each operates under its own terms. We select providers whose policies align with data-protection standards, but responsibility for their cookies rests with them. If you wish to block third-party cookies entirely, your browser settings or a privacy extension such as uBlock Origin or Privacy Badger will handle that.
Declining without breaking the site
You can browse Tech Events Guide with cookies disabled. The strictly necessary category ensures that forms still submit and pages still load; preference cookies simply restore choices you made in an earlier visit. Without them you will need to reselect filters or dismiss notices each time, but no functionality disappears.
Most browsers let you refuse all cookies, delete cookies from specific sites or accept only first-party cookies. The controls sit in your browser's privacy or settings menu. On mobile devices, the operating system may also offer tracking restrictions that apply across all apps and browsers. Declining cookies through any of these routes will not prevent you from reading articles, searching event listings or submitting the contact form.
Updates
We revise this policy when we add or remove a cookie category, change a retention period or embed a new third-party service. The date of the most recent change appears at the foot of the page. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised terms. Because cookies are easy to inspect and delete, we do not send individual notifications when a technical detail changes. Check this page whenever you want current information about what the site stores.
Tech Events Guide is an information site. We do not sell any goods or services. This policy describes only the cookies set by this domain and the third-party scripts we choose to embed.
