Cookie Policy
Version: 2026-10-15 (v1) — Last updated: 15 October 2026.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device (computer, tablet or mobile) when you visit them. These cookies allow the website to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, so that you do not have to re-enter them every time you return to the site or navigate from one page to another.
2. Managing your preferences
The first time you visit our website, a banner is shown that lets you Accept or Reject non-essential cookies. Until you expressly accept, no non-essential cookie or technology (analytics or advertising) is activated. You can change your decision at any time by clicking the button below, which reopens the cookie banner:
3. What cookies and technologies do we use on the website?
On the VIB3S website (not the mobile app, which does not use cookies — see clause 4) we use only the following cookies and technologies, all verified against the site's current implementation:
3.1. Technical cookies (necessary)
These are essential for the operation of the website and cannot be disabled. They include:
- Cookie preference: stores your decision on accepting or rejecting cookies (technical key
vibes_cookies_accepted, stored on your own device). - Session: keeps your browsing session active while you browse.
3.2. Analytical cookies
These help us understand how visitors interact with our website. We use:
- Google Analytics 4 (GA4): to analyse web traffic and user behaviour. The data collected is processed on a pseudonymised basis, not anonymous in an absolute technical sense: Google, as processor, may associate the information with a unique client identifier. GA4 is only loaded after you have expressly accepted the cookie banner.
3.3. Advertising and marketing cookies
These allow us to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. We use:
- Meta Pixel (Facebook Pixel): a tool from Meta Platforms, Inc. that allows us to measure conversions, create custom audiences and optimise advertising campaigns on Facebook and Instagram. The Meta Pixel script is only loaded in your browser after you have expressly accepted cookies in the banner; if you reject or do not interact with the banner, the Meta Pixel does not run. Meta Privacy Policy.
4. Similar technologies in the mobile application
Our VIB3S mobile application does not use cookies, but does employ analytics technologies distinct from those on the website, described in more detail in the Privacy Policy (clause 11.1):
| Technology | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Firebase Crashlytics | Error detection and reporting to improve stability |
| Mixpanel | Analysis of user behaviour within the app and within the booking widget that organisers embed on their website |
| Adjust | Attribution of app installs and marketing campaigns. Only activated if the user grants the iOS tracking permission (ATT) |
| Meta, Google Ads, TikTok, LinkedIn | Measuring advertising campaigns that promote the app (includes the Meta SDK). On iOS, only after the tracking permission (ATT) |
These app technologies are activated according to each operating system's own privacy controls (iOS/Android), and are not governed by the website cookie banner, which only regulates the technologies described in clause 3.
For more details, see our Privacy Policy.
5. How to manage cookies from your browser?
In addition to the preference management described in clause 2, you can configure your browser to block or delete cookies. Here are links to the instructions for the most common browsers:
Note: if you disable cookies from your browser, some website features may not work correctly.
6. Cookies and international transfers by third parties
The providers of the analytical and advertising cookies described in clause 3 (Google, Meta) may carry out international transfers of the data collected outside the European Economic Area. Such transfers are covered by the safeguards described generally in clause 4 of the Privacy Policy (EU-US Data Privacy Framework and/or Standard Contractual Clauses), to which we refer rather than duplicating that information.

7. Updates to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons, including the country-specific adaptation described in clause 9. We recommend that you review this page regularly.

9. Country annex
The prior-consent basis for non-essential cookies (Directive 2002/58/EC, "ePrivacy", transposed in Spain in Article 22 LSSICE) is common to all EU Member States, so unlike the Terms and Conditions and the Privacy Policy, this Cookie Policy does not require substantially different annexes for Portugal, France, Italy, Germany, Belgium or the Netherlands. VIB3S will revisit this clause if, when activating the service in a new country, a relevant local specificity is identified.
10. More information
