Cookie Policy & Tracking Technologies Notice
This Cookie Policy explains how TourAndTunes.com utilizes cookies, local storage tokens, and comparable web technologies to provide our live music discovery experience, remember user preferences, and measure outbound partner referrals.
Minimal Tracking Philosophy
TourAndTunes prioritizes clean performance and user privacy. We do not use intrusive third-party cross-site behavioral tracking cookies, canvas fingerprinting, or persistent surveillance pixels. Our cookies serve strictly functional and affiliate attribution purposes.
1. What Are Cookies & Local Storage?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device by websites you visit. Local Storage is a modern web browser technology that stores data locally on your device without transmitting it to the web server on every page request, providing greater speed and enhanced privacy.
2. The Types of Cookies We Use
| Cookie Type | Storage Method | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | HTTP Cookie (Session) | Maintains session security, prevents cross-site request forgery (CSRF), and preserves navigation state. | Expires when browser closes. |
| Functional Favourites | Browser LocalStorage (tat_saved_concerts) |
Stores the concert IDs of events you click the heart icon to save, allowing quick access in your favourites drawer. | Persistent on your device until cleared. |
| Outbound Referral Attribution | Transient Redirect Token | Transmits an affiliate referral identifier when you click “Find Tickets” so our partner can record TourAndTunes as the referring site. | Transient / Partner-specific cookie (typically 1-30 days). |
| Performance Optimization | Server Cache Token | LiteSpeed server-side caching headers that deliver sub-second page loads. | Up to 7 days. |
