Cookie
Policy.
Plain-language summary of the cookies runtruffle.com sets, how long they live, and how to change your consent at any time.
Effective Date: 2026-05-22 · Last Updated: 2026-05-22
A cookie is a small file placed on your device or browser that allows us to recognise and remember your preferences, helping us personalise and improve your experience on our website.
When you visit runtruffle.com, we automatically collect personal information through cookies and similar technologies. Some are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off. For others, such as those used to show you targeted ads or to measure traffic, you have choices about how they are used. This page lists every cookie we set, what it does, and how long it lives.
For the broader context around how we process personal information — including the legal bases, sub-processors and your rights — see our Privacy Policy.
1. Managing your consent
When you first arrive on the site, a banner asks you to accept, decline or customise the optional cookies. You can change your mind at any time:
- Click the link in the page footer or use this button — the banner reopens with your current choices pre-selected.
- Clear the
zds-klarocookie in your browser's developer tools to reset all consent decisions. - Use your browser's built-in cookie controls to block specific cookies or all cookies.
2. Cookies we use
The list below is exhaustive — if a cookie is not listed here, we do not set it. Some entries are pattern-based (e.g. _ga_*) because Google Analytics 4 derives the cookie name from your property ID.
2.1 Strictly necessary (always on)
These cookies are required for the site to function. They never collect personal data for marketing purposes. You cannot disable them through the consent banner, but you can block them via your browser settings (the site may break).
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
lang | runtruffle.com | Remembers your language preference (en / de / es) so we don't re-detect on every visit. | 90 days | First-party |
zds-klaro | runtruffle.com (Klaro!) | Stores your consent decisions for the categories below so we don't re-prompt on every page. | 365 days | First-party |
nova_session | runtruffle.com (/admin/ only) | Editor session for logged-in content editors. Not set for regular site visitors. | Session | First-party |
nova_token | runtruffle.com (/admin/ only) | Editor authentication token for content editors. Not set for regular visitors. | Session | First-party |
2.2 Analytics (opt-in)
Set only when you accept "Analytics" in the consent banner. These cookies help us understand which pages are useful, where traffic comes from, and how to improve the site. IP addresses are anonymised and we do not enable Google Signals, ad-personalisation or cross-device tracking.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics 4 | Distinguishes unique visitors with an anonymous client identifier. | 2 years | Third-party |
_ga_<PROPERTY_ID> | Google Analytics 4 | GA4 session-specific identifier scoped to our property. The <PROPERTY_ID> suffix is unique to our GA4 container. | 2 years | Third-party |
_gid | Google (legacy Universal Analytics) | Daily user identifier used by some GTM-loaded legacy tags. May not be set if only GA4 fires. | 24 hours | Third-party |
_gat | Throttles the request rate to Google Analytics to prevent overloading the service. | 1 minute | Third-party | |
_gcl_au | Google Ads | Conversion-tracking click identifier used by the Google Ads tag. Only set if you accept analytics + we are running a Google Ads campaign. | 90 days | Third-party |
2.3 Marketing
We do not currently run a marketing-cookie category. If we later add advertising-pixel cookies (e.g. Meta Pixel, LinkedIn Insight, X / Twitter), they will appear here as a separate opt-in category and will not load unless you actively consent.
3. Local storage and similar technologies
In addition to cookies, our site uses your browser's localStorage for a small number of preferences that never leave your device:
sx-consent-v1— only on sister-propertysxfestival.com; not set on runtruffle.com.truffle.currency— was historically used for the manual currency toggle. The toggle was removed in May 2026 (currency is now country-locked), and this key is no longer written, but legacy values may persist on returning visitors.
You can clear these from your browser's developer tools (Application → Local Storage) at any time without affecting site functionality.
4. Third-party services
When you accept analytics, our site loads Google Tag Manager, which in turn loads Google Analytics 4. The data we send is anonymised (no IP retention, no advertising-cookie linkage) and processed by:
- Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (data controller for EU traffic).
Google's own cookie and privacy practices are documented at policies.google.com/privacy.
5. Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time when we add or remove cookies, change retention periods, or switch tooling. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Material changes are also reflected in the consent banner so you can re-confirm your choices.
