Cookie statement

Last updated: 21 August 2026

This page explains which cookies and similar techniques (such as local storage) this app uses, why, and how you can manage them. For the wider picture, see our privacy statement.

Under Dutch law (Telecommunicatiewet) and the GDPR (AVG), we may place functional storage without asking, but we ask your consent before placing analytics cookies. You can refuse, and refusing is just as easy as accepting — the app keeps working either way. We use no advertising or tracking cookies. We only store a small consent cookie once you make a choice, and analytics cookies only if you accept.

Functional (always active, no consent needed)

The app mostly works with data stored on your own device. The only cookie we set ourselves is a small consent cookie that remembers your analytics choice.

analyticsConsent

Type: Cookie (first-party, on .fline.live)
Purpose: Remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics, so we don't ask again. Shared between fline.live and app.fline.live.
Stored by: FLINE.
Retention: Up to 1 year.

Local storage & cache

Type: Local storage / Cache Storage (first-party, on your device)
Purpose: Remembers your theme and highlight colour, your favourites and last opened festival, your lockers per festival, when festival data was last refreshed, a cached copy of schedules and weather for offline use, your analytics choice, and the state of the optional “support” message.
Stored by: Your browser, for this app only. Not sent to us.
Retention: Until you clear it via Settings → Reset or your browser removes it.

Analytics (only with your consent, off by default)

These are placed only after you choose “Accept” in the cookie banner (or turn analytics on under Settings → Privacy). They help us understand, in an aggregated and pseudonymous way, how the app is used, including your approximate location (country, region or city, derived from your IP address — not precise location) and basic device and browser details. Google Analytics 4 does not store IP addresses, and we have switched off Google Signals and advertising personalisation.

_ga

Type: Cookie (Google Analytics)
Purpose: Distinguishes visitors with a random, pseudonymous ID.
Stored by: Google (third party).
Retention: Up to 2 years.

_ga_5FDE62W95W

Type: Cookie (Google Analytics 4)
Purpose: Keeps analytics session state.
Stored by: Google (third party).
Retention: Up to 2 years.

See Google’s privacy policy. Some data may be processed outside the European Economic Area under recognised safeguards (EU–US Data Privacy Framework, Standard Contractual Clauses).

Your choice

Checking your current choice…

Advertising / tracking cookies

We do not use any advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

Managing your choice

Change or withdraw analytics consent at any time under Settings → Privacy — as easy as giving it.
Erase everything on your device (cookie, local data and cache) via Settings → Reset.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking functional storage may stop parts of the app from working.

Other techniques

To work offline, the app uses a service worker and the browser’s Cache Storage to keep a copy of the app and festival data on your device. This is functional and contains no personal data.
