Cookie Policy
Last updated: 21 July 2026
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device to make them work, remember your choices or collect statistical information. Similar technologies (such as the browser's local storage) can serve analogous purposes. This Cookie Policy explains which cookies LoudLikeLive uses and how to manage them. The controller is Niita OÜ (see the Privacy Policy for full details).
2. Cookie categories
We group cookies into three categories, as shown in the banner and the «Cookie preferences» panel:
- Necessary (always on): essential for the site to work — session, authentication, security and storing your preferences, including your cookie choice. They do not require consent and cannot be disabled.
- Analytics (consent only): help us understand how the site is used, in aggregate form, to improve it.
- Marketing (consent only): used to measure campaign performance and show more relevant content.
Current status: today LoudLikeLive uses necessary cookies and, in the Statistics category, Google Analytics 4 (see section 4). In the Marketing category we use the Meta Pixel (see section 4). Non-necessary tools are loaded only after obtaining your consent through the banner; until you give consent, such cookies are not installed.
No cookies: the measurement of visits to public profiles — the one that shows an artist, a venue, a festival or a rehearsal room how many visits their own profile received — uses no cookies and neither reads nor writes anything on your device. It therefore falls into none of the categories above and is not governed by this banner: it is described in full in the Privacy Policy, section 15.
3. Necessary cookies in use
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
lll_consent | Stores your cookie preferences | 180 days | First-party |
loudlikelive_session | Maintains the browsing session and authentication | Session | First-party |
XSRF-TOKEN | Protection against CSRF attacks | Session | First-party |
remember_web_* | «Remember device» feature to keep you signed in | Up to 1 year | First-party |
locale | Remembers your preferred interface language | 1 year | First-party |
lll_no_stats | Remembers that you have objected to the measurement of profile visits: it exists only to honour your refusal, holds a single flag and identifies nobody | 5 years | First-party |
__cf* (Cloudflare Turnstile) | Anti-bot protection at sign-up | Session / short-lived | Third-party (Cloudflare) |
Names and durations may vary slightly for technical reasons.
4. Analytics and marketing (consent only)
The tools in this section are loaded exclusively with your prior consent, per category:
- Analytics — Google Analytics 4 (active, upon acceptance of the «Statistics» category): cookies
_ga,_ga_*, duration up to about 2 years, third-party (Google). The tool is configured with IP anonymisation and Google Consent Mode: no script is loaded and no cookie is installed until you accept; if you reject, nothing runs. - Marketing — Meta Pixel (active, subject to acceptance of the «Marketing» category): cookies
_fbpand_fbc, duration up to about 3 months, third-party (Meta Platforms Ireland Limited). It is used to measure the performance of advertising campaigns and to show more relevant ads on Meta platforms. No script is loaded and no cookie is installed until you accept; if you decline, nothing runs.
5. Third-party content
Some pages embed third-party content (for example Google Maps and OpenStreetMap maps, Spotify players or YouTube videos) that, when loaded, may set their own cookies or receive your IP address. Spotify players and YouTube videos do not load on their own: a placeholder is shown in their place, and the content is requested only if you tap it, or if you have already accepted marketing cookies. In addition, the interface icons are served from the Google Fonts CDN: loading them involves sharing your IP address with Google, without installing cookies. This processing is governed by the policies of the respective providers, listed in the Privacy Policy.
6. How to manage consent
On your first visit a banner lets you accept, reject or customise non-necessary cookies; accepting and rejecting are equivalent options. You can change your choice at any time via the «Cookie preferences» link in the site footer.
Your choice is remembered for 180 days, after which you will be asked again. You can also manage or delete cookies from your browser settings; however, disabling necessary cookies may impair the operation of the site.
7. Changes
We will update this Cookie Policy when we introduce new cookies or change existing ones. The date at the top of the page indicates the latest revision.
