What's a (digital) cookie?
A digital cookie is a tiny text file created by a website and stored temporarily in your browser. Most modern websites, including RSVPify, use cookies to improve your experience: remembering preferences, recalling past searches, and passing information seamlessly between pages or steps.
Why do I see a cookie consent banner on my RSVPify event page?
RSVPify event pages display a cookie consent banner (\"We value your privacy\") so you and your guests can choose which categories of cookies to allow. This is a privacy and consent control.
What do the cookie categories mean?
Strictly necessary — required for the site to function. These cannot be turned off, and cover things like loading your event page, submitting an RSVP form, and passing information between form steps.
Functional — remembers choices you make and provides enhanced features, such as pre-filling fields or letting a guest pick up where they left off.
Analytics — if you, the host, have added your own analytics scripts (like Google Analytics) to your event page, this category allows those scripts to run so you can understand how guests interact with your page.
Marketing — if you, the host, have added your own tracking scripts (like a Facebook Pixel) to your event page, this category allows those scripts to run so you can measure ad performance.
Does declining cookies affect whether my event page works?
No. Choosing Reject all, or unchecking Functional, Analytics, and Marketing under Customize, should never prevent you or your guests from viewing your event page or submitting an RSVP. Only the Strictly necessary category is required, and it's already on by default and cannot be disabled.
Does RSVPify use cookies to 'track' me or my guests, or for marketing?
No. RSVPify itself never tracks guests, sells data, or uses guest data for marketing, and no guest data is ever sent to us for these purposes. The Analytics and Marketing categories in the banner exist only to support tracking scripts that a host has chosen to add to their own event page (such as Google Analytics or a Facebook Pixel). If a guest allows those categories, any data collected goes to the host's own analytics or ad accounts, not to RSVPify. Privacy is a cornerstone of our brand, and our revenue model is subscription and partnership based, not built on monetizing guest data.
