Privacy & cookies

Last updated: July 2026

Who operates this site

theforge.live is operated by Forge Club, Strada Pantelimon 1A, Bucharest, Romania. For any privacy question, write to hub@theforge.live.

What runs only after consent

  • Google Analytics 4 — anonymous usage statistics (pages viewed, popular events, traffic sources).
  • Meta Pixel — measuring Instagram/Facebook campaign performance and retargeting.

These scripts are not loaded until you tap “Accept” in the cookie banner. If you decline, nothing from Google or Meta is downloaded.

What is stored

  • Your cookie choice — in localStorage, under the key “forge.consent.v1”.
  • Your language preference (EN/RO) — in localStorage.
  • Google Analytics and Meta cookies — only after acceptance.

Withdrawing consent

You can change your choice anytime from the footer, via “Cookie preferences”. The banner reappears and you can choose again.

What we do NOT collect

  • No account is required to browse (sign-in exists only for the Forge team and invited promoters).
  • No newsletter yet — we don’t collect your email for marketing.
  • We don’t sell or share personal data with third parties for their independent advertising.

Hosting and database

The site is hosted on Lovable Cloud (built on Supabase). Operational data (events, promoters, audit log) is stored in that database, within the EU.

Your rights (GDPR)

Under Regulation (EU) 2016/679, you have the right to:

  • access your data;
  • correction or deletion;
  • restriction or objection to processing;
  • data portability;
  • lodge a complaint with ANSPDCP (dataprotection.ro), the Romanian Data Protection Authority.
