Cookies & Privacy

Last updated 14 September 2026

The short version

This site uses a small number of cookies, all of which are strictly necessary for it to work and to keep ticket sales fair. There is nothing optional to turn on or off, which is why you are shown a notice rather than asked for a choice.

  • We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels or analytics of any kind.
  • We do not sell, rent or share your details with anyone for marketing.
  • No cookie on this site stores your name, email address or phone number.

Everything we store

NameTypeWhat it doesHow long
sot_didCookieTells one device apart from another so we can rate-limit ticket purchases and stop a single person from holding seats they never intend to pay for. It is signed and marked httpOnly, holds no name, email or phone number, and cannot be read by JavaScript.The event page and the checkout page30 days
sb-*CookieKeeps event staff signed in to the admin dashboard and the door scanner. Set by our authentication provider after a staff member logs in. Buyers never receive these.Staff tools onlyUntil sign-out or session expiry
summit_scanner_device_idLocal storageA random label for a door phone, so a check-in record shows which scanner admitted a guest. It identifies the phone, not the person holding it.The door scanner onlyUntil the browser data is cleared
Offline ticket cacheOn-device databaseA copy of the ticket list stored on the door phone so scanning still works with no network in the hall. This is a functional requirement of the event, not a tracking mechanism.The door scanner onlyUntil the browser data is cleared
sot_cookie_notice_v1Local storageRemembers that you have already read the notice at the bottom of the page, so it is not shown again. Stores a single flag and nothing else.The event page and the checkout pageUntil the browser data is cleared

Paying for a ticket

Card details are never entered on this site and never reach us. When you pay you are handed over to Paystack, who take the payment on their own pages and set their own cookies there under their own policy. We receive back only whether the payment succeeded, along with the name, email address and phone number you typed on our checkout page so that we can issue and verify your pass at the door. Read Paystack's privacy policy.

Clearing what is stored

Every browser lets you clear cookies and site data for a single site, usually under Settings → Privacy. Doing so removes everything in the table above.

Being straight with you about one thing: clearing the anti-abuse cookie does not opt you out of it. The next page you load simply issues a fresh one, because without it we cannot tell one buyer from another and cannot stop a single person from holding seats they never pay for. It contains nothing but a random value.

Who to ask

This event and the data collected for it are the responsibility of FlagIQ. To ask what we hold about you, or to have it deleted after the event, email admin@flagiq.org.
