What Are Cookies & Storage
Cookies and browser localStorage are small data containers stored on your device. They allow web applications to remember your saved festivals, active search filters, and consent preferences without requiring recurring server logins.
Storage Categories We Utilize
1. Strictly Necessary & Structural
Required for core layout rendering, scroll restoration, responsive navigation, and consent states. These cannot be disabled.
2. Functional & Preferences
Used to store your bookmarked/favourite festivals and cache search indices locally for instantaneous searching.
3. Telemetry (Aggregated & Anonymous)
High-level page visit counts and category dwell time telemetry without tracking IP addresses or user identities.
