Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-10-06

Overview

Max Calendar ("we," "our," or "the site") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices.

Who we are

Max Calendar (max-calendar.com) is run as the About page describes: its content is gathered and checked by AI automations, and reviewed and edited by a human editor. For anything about your data or these terms, write to contact@max-calendar.com.

Information We Collect

Automatically Collected

When you visit our site, our hosting provider (Cloudflare) and our analytics providers may collect:

  • IP address (anonymised — full IP is never stored by Google Analytics)
  • Browser type and version
  • Pages visited, time of visit, and time on page
  • Referring website
  • General geographic location (country/region)
  • Device type (mobile, tablet, desktop)

This data is used for security, performance monitoring, and aggregate analytics. It is not used to identify individual users.

Information We Do Not Collect

  • We do not require user accounts or registration
  • We do not collect email addresses, names, or personal information
  • We do not sell personal data. The third parties that receive data when you use the site are named on this page, under Third-Party Services and Venue Pages: Hotel Map and Partner Links

Local Storage

We use browser localStorage to remember your week-start preference (Sunday or Monday) and your cookie consent choice. This data stays on your device and is never transmitted to our servers.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 with Consent Mode v2 to understand how visitors use the site. Analytics cookies are only set if you accept them via our cookie banner. If you decline or have not yet chosen, Google Analytics operates in cookieless mode and provides only modeled (estimated) aggregate data.

We also use Cloudflare Web Analytics, a privacy-friendly tool that does not use cookies and does not collect personal data.

For full details about which cookies are set, when, and how to manage them, see our Cookie Policy.

Third-Party Services

Google Fonts

We load fonts (Outfit and IBM Plex Sans) from Google Fonts. Google may collect your IP address when these fonts are loaded. See Google's Privacy Policy.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to measure site usage. With your consent, GA4 sets cookies (_ga, _ga_*) to distinguish unique visitors and maintain session state. Without consent, GA4 operates without cookies. See Google's Privacy Policy.

Google AdSense

We may display advertisements through Google AdSense in the future. When enabled, Google uses cookies to serve ads. Advertising cookies are only set if you consent via our cookie banner. You can opt out of personalised advertising at Google Ads Settings.

Stay22 (venue pages only)

The venue pages under /arenas/ load a hotel map and a link script from Stay22. They load for every visitor of those pages, whatever the cookie choice. See Venue Pages: Hotel Map and Partner Links below.

Cloudflare

Our site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare may use cookies for security purposes (bot detection, DDoS protection) and provides our privacy-first Web Analytics. See Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.

Venue Pages: Hotel Map and Partner Links

Each venue page (for example a basketball arena) shows a hotel map from Stay22, an accommodation and travel affiliate service, and loads Stay22's link script. Max Calendar may earn a commission when a booking is made through the map or through a flight link that the script turns into a Stay22 partner link (Kayak, Expedia). The price you pay is the same.

These Stay22 services load on every venue page, independently of the choice made in our cookie banner. When they load:

  • the link script stores four identifiers in your browser's localStorage on max-calendar.com (sid22, visitor_id_id22, conMeth, hip22);
  • the script sends Stay22 a technical description of your browser and device (audio, canvas and font characteristics) from which Stay22 computes a visitor identifier;
  • the map sets cookies on Stay22's own domains, among them Hotjar session cookies (_hjSessionUser_*, kept for one year, and _hjSession_*), session22 and Cloudflare's __cf_bm;
  • the map contacts services Stay22 uses: Hotjar, Mixpanel, Sentry and Google Tag Manager.

Stay22 processes this data under its own privacy policy. Pages other than the venue pages do not load Stay22. To avoid it, do not open the venue pages, or block third-party scripts and cookies in your browser.

The ticket links on venue pages (the club's or arena's own shop, StubHub, Ticketmaster, SeatGeek, Ticombo) are plain links: nothing loads from those sellers until you click, and Max Calendar is not paid for them.

Cookies and Consent

We set analytics cookies (and, in the future, advertising cookies) only with your consent. The Stay22 hotel map on venue pages is the exception: it loads whatever your choice, as described above. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking Cookie Settings in the footer. See our Cookie Policy for the full list of cookies we use, their purpose, and how long they last.

Your Rights (GDPR / EU Visitors)

If you are in the European Economic Area, you have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal data we process about you, and to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise these rights, please contact us. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority.

Children's Privacy

Our site does not knowingly collect information from children under 13. Calendar and holiday information is educational in nature and freely accessible without account creation.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
