This cookie notice is for visitors to our websites, apps and other digital platforms. It sets out how we use cookies. In this notice ‘we’ and ‘our’ means Hideout Festival which operates this platform.
The Basics
-What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer by websites that you visit. They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide us information for different purposes.
The use of cookies is very important for the proper functioning of our website. Thanks to the (anonymous) input of visitors, we can improve the use of the website and make it more user-friendly.
The Categories
A) First/Third-Party Cookies:
- First party cookies, which are served directly by us to your device.
- Third-party cookies, which are served by a third party on our behalf.
B) Session/Persistent Cookies:
Cookies can remain on your computer or mobile device for different periods of time:
- ‘’Session cookies’’ exist only while your browser is open. These are deleted automatically once you close your browser.
- “Persistent cookies”, survive after your browser is closed. They can be used by the website to recognize your computer when you open your browser and browse the Internet again.
C) Purposes:
- Advertising/Targeting: Marketing cookies are used to offer content that is more relevant to the user and adapted to your interests. They are also used to measure and control the effectiveness of campaigns. For example, they register whether a website has been visited or not, as well as which content has been used. This information is used to create an interest profile so that only content that is interesting for you is displayed. If you withdraw your consent to marketing cookies, this does not mean that you will see or receive less content as a result. Rather, it means that the content you see and receive is not tailored to your individual needs.
- Social media sharing: Third party social media widgets or buttons give you the chance to share content from web pages to social media web sites and email. Use of these widgets or buttons may place a cookie on your device to make their service easier to use, ensure your interaction is displayed on our web pages (e.g. the social share count cache is updated) and log information about your activities across the Internet and on web sites. We encourage you to review each provider’s privacy information before using any such service.

These analytics can include measurements on the popularity of a page, common patterns of how people browse around the website, and how frequently a certain feature is used. These cookies don’t collect information that personally identifies you.
- Functionality Cookies: These cookies enable our Platform to remember choices you make such as your language preference, username or the region you are in.

You may opt-out of these cookies, but it will impact your experience on the website, and you may need to repeat certain selections each time you visit.
