You may be able to manage cookies through your browser settings or through cookie preference tools made available on our website. Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.

​

Do Not Track and Privacy Preference Signals

Some browsers transmit Do Not Track signals.

We do not sell personal information in exchange for money. Certain advertising or analytics activities may qualify as the sharing or sale of personal information under applicable privacy laws, even without monetary payment. Where such laws apply, we will provide the required disclosures and opt-out mechanisms.

​

6. AI-Powered Customer Support

Our website may use automated chat tools or artificial intelligence to assist visitors with general questions, festival information, and customer service inquiries.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the purpose for which it was collected, and applicable legal requirements.
