Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device.
Types of cookies the Eventsforce website uses
Session cookies
Eventsforce uses session cookies. These are like the short-term memory of its website. They last only as long as your current internet session, and will be deleted from your computer when you close your browser. These are essential cookies as the website will not work appropriately without them.

Analytical/performance cookies are used to monitor the performance of the website: for example, to determine the number of page views and the number of unique users who have visited the site.

Eventsforce uses Google Analytics to gather the performance information for its website. This analysis helps it see which areas of the website are popular, which pages are viewed and for how long. Google stores the information gathered; read Google’s privacy policy for more information.
