Cookies policy

Last updated: 3 February 2026

§ 1

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by websites you visit. They're used to make sites work, to remember you between visits, and to help site owners understand how the site is being used.

This page explains which cookies Curated Chaos (operated by Chaotic Events Ltd) uses, why we use them, and how you can control them.

§ 2

Cookies we use

We do not use advertising, retargeting, or cross-site tracking cookies.

§ 3

Third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by services we use rather than by us directly:

  • Stripe — payments and fraud prevention.
  • Google — during OAuth sign-in (only while you're on the Google sign-in page).
  • PostHog — product analytics.

Each of these services has its own cookie policy which we recommend you review.

§ 4

Controlling cookies

You can accept or reject non-essential cookies via your browser settings. Instructions for the most common browsers:

If you block essential cookies the platform will not work correctly (you won't stay signed in and payments may fail).

You can also opt out of analytics tracking via PostHog by visiting the PostHog opt-out page.

§ 5

Changes

We may update this policy as our platform evolves. The "Last updated" date at the top will always reflect the current version.
