Cookie policy

How HereNow uses cookies and analytics.

HereNow uses essential cookies to operate the product. Optional usage analytics are enabled only when you choose to allow them.

Last updated: October 15, 2026

Essential cookies

Required for login sessions, account security, fraud prevention, CSRF-safe auth flows, language preference, and service reliability. These operate automatically when the relevant features are used.

Product analytics

With your permission, Google Analytics 4 helps us understand visits and successful actions such as event publication and confirmed registrations. It stays off until you allow it. We do not use it for advertising.

Coarse telemetry

For signed-in accounts, we may refresh last-seen time, hashed IP, coarse country/timezone signals, and browser language for security, operations, abuse prevention, and aggregate admin reporting.

What we store

  • Firebase session cookies for account login, account security, and session continuity.
  • HereNow preference cookies or local storage, such as language and product preferences.
  • Google Analytics 4 cookies and visitor identifiers used to measure visits, referrals, and product performance.
  • User-triggered local state, such as draft creation text, return-after-login paths, or event reaction state.

What we do not do

  • We do not sell cookie data.
  • We do not ask the browser for precise geolocation permission for normal analytics.
  • We do not use guest RSVP emails as a platform marketing list.
  • We do not expose one Host's attendee list to another Host.

Managing cookies

  • Choose Reject optional or Allow analytics in the notice. You can change your choice at any time using Privacy choices in the footer or on this page. Your choice is saved in this browser.
  • Rejecting or withdrawing analytics permission does not prevent browsing, signing in, creating, publishing, or registering for events. Withdrawal stops future analytics and clears accessible Google Analytics cookies; it does not erase data already sent.
  • Clearing essential HereNow cookies may sign you out or reset saved product preferences.
  • HereNow does not use advertising or cross-site marketing cookies.
