Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files placed on your browser or device when you visit a website. They help websites recognise your browser, remember settings, maintain active sessions, and support secure and reliable functionality.

CRFV may also use similar technologies such as session storage, local storage, server-side session identifiers, security tokens, and analytics tags if enabled.

CRFV uses cookies and similar technologies to support the operation, security, and usability of the event platform. These uses may include:

• Maintaining user sessions after sign-in.
• Remembering selected preferences or temporary page state.
• Preserving form progress or interface continuity during registration.
• Preventing abuse, spam, fraud, or unauthorised access.
• Improving technical performance and system reliability.
• Measuring aggregate usage patterns and page performance, if analytics are enabled.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These are required for account authentication, secure session management, page navigation, core functionality, temporary registration state, and security protections. Without them, some CRFV services may not function correctly.

Functional Cookies

These may remember non-essential preferences, preserve interface state, or reduce repeated input during multi-step forms.

Analytics or Performance Cookies

If enabled, these may help CRFV understand aggregate usage, page performance, error trends, and service reliability. CRFV should use analytics in a privacy-respecting and legally appropriate manner.

CRFV uses strictly necessary cookies where required to provide core website and event functions.

Where non-essential cookies are used, CRFV should provide an appropriate notice or consent mechanism where required by applicable law.

If CRFV currently uses only essential session, security, and functional storage for the event platform, that should be reflected in the implementation and in any cookie banner or notice shown to users.

You may manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view stored cookies, block certain cookies, delete stored cookies, restrict third-party cookies, and clear browsing data or site storage.

Disabling essential cookies or related technologies may prevent the CRFV platform from functioning properly, including sign-in, form completion, protected access, and registration workflows.

CRFV pages may use local storage or session storage for technical purposes such as temporary page state, user preferences, or draft form steps. These tools may remain on your device until cleared by the browser, by system logic, or by user action.

If CRFV uses third-party services for payments, analytics, embedded content, security, or communications, those services may use their own cookies or similar technologies and may provide their own privacy or cookie information.

• Payment provider: applicable only when an event uses a third-party payment workflow.
• Email or communication provider: applicable where event messages are sent through a provider.
• Analytics or cookie tool: applicable only if enabled for CRFV pages.

CRFV may revise this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in system functionality, legal requirements, or tools used on the platform.
