Cookie Policy – Modern Audience Conference (modernaudience.org)

 Last updated: 14^th February 2026

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies we use on modernaudience.org, and how you can control them.

1) What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites work properly, remember your preferences, and (if enabled) measure how the site is used.

Cookies can be:

• Session cookies – removed when you close your browser
• Persistent cookies – stay until they expire or you delete them
• First-party cookies – set by modernaudience.org
• Third-party cookies – set by other services we use (eg video, analytics)

2) How we use cookies

We use cookies for:

1. A) Strictly necessary cookies (always on)
   These are required for the site to function – especially for ticket checkout, MemberPress login, security, and access to the livestream and VOD.

Examples of what these cookies do:

• keep you signed in
• maintain session state
• protect against fraud and abuse
• process payments and prevent duplicate submissions

1. B) Analytics cookies (optional – only with consent)
   If you opt in, we use analytics cookies to understand how people use the site (eg which pages are popular, what devices are used, error rates). This helps us improve the site and event experience.
2. C) Marketing cookies (optional – only with consent)
   If you opt in, these cookies help measure and improve advertising performance (for example, showing relevant ads and measuring conversions).
3. D) Functional cookies (optional – only with consent, where applicable)
   These remember choices you make (eg preferences) and can support features like embedded media or third-party tools.

3) Cookies set by third parties

Some features on our site may involve third parties who may set cookies, for example:

• Embedded video (eg Vimeo/YouTube)
• Livestream delivery platforms
• Chat tools
• Payment providers
• Spam prevention/security tools

Where these third parties set cookies that are not strictly necessary, we only enable them if you consent via our cookie banner (where technically possible).

4) Cookie list

We maintain a cookie list in our cookie banner/preferences tool, which shows:

• the cookie name
• purpose
• duration
• whether it is essential or optional
• provider (first or third party)

If you need a static list on this page as well, contact us and we’ll provide it.

5) Managing your cookie preferences

You can manage cookies in three ways:

1. Cookie banner / preferences tool
   You can change your cookie choices at any time by using:
   Cookie Settings: [insert link/button location eg “footer link”]
2. Browser settings
   Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. If you block strictly necessary cookies, parts of the site (checkout, login, member access) may not work.
3. Opt-out tools (where relevant)
   Some analytics/advertising providers offer additional opt-out controls. Where we use them, we’ll make those available in our cookie settings.
