What this site collects

ravescanner.ch lists techno events crawled from venues' and promoters' own public pages. Browsing it requires no account, and we ask you for nothing.

Visitor statistics

We measure how the site is used with Matomo, which we host ourselves on our own server. No analytics data goes to Google or any other third party, and none of it leaves Switzerland.

It is configured so that it does not identify you. That is why this site shows no cookie banner and asks for no consent:

• No cookies. The statistics tool itself stores nothing on your device and reads nothing from it — not cookies, not local storage.
• Your IP address is truncated before it is stored: three of its four parts are discarded, leaving only a coarse region.
• No individual profiles. Per-visitor logs and visitor profiles are switched off, so we see aggregate totals and cannot follow one person around.
• No tracking across sites, and nothing is used for advertising.
• Raw data is deleted after 180 days. Only aggregate counts remain.

What is counted: which pages are opened, which filters are used, clicks on the ticket and source links of an event, and the text typed into a town or genre search when nothing matches it. These are totals per page and per link, not a record of what any one person did.

The measurement tag is not loaded at all for signed-in maintainers.

What the site itself keeps in your browser

Reading the event pages sets no cookie from our server. The site keeps two things in your browser, neither of which identifies you or is used for tracking, advertising or profiling:

• A cookie called rs_ok, set by one line of script that runs on every page, with the value 1 and a lifetime of one year. It carries no identifier: every browser gets the same value. Its only job is to tell a browser that has opened the site from an automated program that requests thousands of filtered pages, which is turned back to the front page.
• A session cookie, set on the sign-in page and after signing in (the feedback form and signing in need it in order to work). Ordinary visitors never sign in, so they never receive it.

Your rights

You may ask what we hold about you, have it corrected or deleted, and object to its processing. Write to [email protected] and we will answer.
