Cookie Policy

1. Scope and categories

Cookies and similar technologies may store preferences, maintain sessions or measure usage. SXPO separates necessary technologies from optional analytics. Optional browser analytics remain disabled until you accept cookies.

2. Necessary technologies

Necessary cookies support functions requested by you, such as authentication, security, anti-forgery protection and remembering cookie preferences. Blocking these in your browser may prevent some features from working. The consent-preference cookie itself is used to remember your choice.

3. Analytics technologies

When you allow analytics, SXPO may create first-party identifiers such as sxpo_vid (longer-lived visitor identifier) and sxpo_sid (short-lived session identifier) and record selected page views or interaction events. The intended lifetimes are up to 365 days and 30 minutes respectively. Actual identifiers are not set by the analytics cookie manager before analytics consent. We may revise the exact inventory as the service changes; this page should be kept aligned with deployed code and any third-party scripts.

4. Analytics when you choose

Optional analytics are disabled until you accept. If you reject, SXPO does not send optional browser analytics events or create analytics visitor/session identifiers. Aggregated reports may be created from analytics events collected after consent; those reports are designed to support product, exhibitor, trade-show and platform performance reporting without exposing individual browsing histories to dashboard users.

5. Marketing technologies

Marketing preferences are currently reserved for future use. SXPO must not activate marketing cookies or pixels until the relevant feature, disclosure and consent handling are implemented.

6. Your choice and withdrawal

Choose Accept Cookies to allow optional analytics or Reject Cookies to keep optional analytics off. Necessary technologies remain on either way. You can change your choice at any time using Cookie settings in the site footer. A new choice is recorded with its policy version and timestamp. Clearing cookies in your browser may cause the banner to appear again.

7. Consent record

We store your selected choice, policy version, timestamp and a consent identifier to demonstrate and honour your preference. The protected preference cookie is used to validate the choice across requests. This consent record does not retain the raw IP address or user-agent string. Security and server logs may separately contain network information under their applicable retention policy.

8. Third-party technologies and changes

External services may use their own technologies when enabled. Any such service should be documented with its provider, purpose, lifetime and applicable privacy notice. We will update this policy and consent choices when the technology materially changes.
