HeySummit uses first-party cookies to keep sessions secure, remember choices, complete registration and checkout, and understand how visitors reached an event. The exact cookies present can vary by page, sign-in state, and the features or integrations an event organiser enables.

Cookies from event organisers and third parties
An event organiser can connect analytics, advertising pixels, chat, payment providers, video providers, and other third-party tools. Those services may set their own cookies, so the complete browser list can differ between events. Their cookies are governed by the provider's policy and the event organiser's configuration.
Control cookies in your browser
Use the HeySummit cookie banner to accept or reject optional cookies. Rejecting keeps essential cookies needed for core site functions. Blocking all cookies in the browser can prevent sign-in, registration, checkout, or attendee access from working correctly.
