Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to site owners. Cookies do not contain personally identifiable information, though personal information we store about you may be linked to information stored in cookies.
StageFinder.Live uses cookies for secure administration. If you choose Allow measurement, Google and Meta may also use first-party advertising identifiers to measure whether an ad led to a useful StageFinder visit. These advertising tools stay off when you decline or when your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal. Our anonymous ZIP search counter does not use cookies and stores only a daily aggregate count for each searched ZIP code.
These cookies are required for the site to function. They cannot be disabled.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| admin_auth | Admin authentication — internal use only, not set for regular visitors | Up to 7 days |
We use Vercel Web Analytics for aggregate page-usage statistics and Vercel Speed Insights for anonymous website-performance measurements. These services are designed not to associate their measurements with an individual visitor or IP address. Vercel Web Analytics does not use third-party analytics cookies.
We use the Google tag to measure advertising results. When someone arrives from a Google ad, Google may set first-party cookies that store an advertising-click identifier. We may also use Google AdSense in the future; if ads are active, Google may use cookies as described in Google's policies.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _gcl_* | Google advertising measurement — stores ad-click information when applicable | Set according to Google tag configuration |
With your permission, we use the Meta Pixel and Meta Conversions API together to measure page visits and actions such as searches, result views, event or venue views, outbound links, account creation, and app-store clicks. Browser and server copies of the same event use one event identifier so Meta can deduplicate them.
| Cookie | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|
| _fbp | Distinguishes browsers for Meta advertising measurement | Up to 90 days |
| _fbc | Stores a Meta ad-click identifier when a visitor arrives from a Meta ad | Up to 90 days |
