Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies (e.g., pixels, local storage, web beacons) are used on the AnyGig platform (anygig.app), operated by Any Gig App Ltd, registered in England and Wales.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy. It complies with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) and UK GDPR.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function, remember preferences, and provide analytics. Similar technologies (e.g., pixels for tracking referrals) are included here.

Types of Cookies We Use

We use these categories:

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These are essential for core functionality and do not require consent under PECR. They include cookies that:

• enable secure login and session management
• maintain security and fraud prevention (e.g., via Stripe.js for payments)
• process bookings, payments, subscriptions, and ticket transactions

3.2 Functional Cookies

These remember choices (e.g., language, dashboard settings) for better user experience. Consent may be required; we obtain it via our cookie banner where applicable.

3.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These help us understand usage (e.g., pages visited, interactions) to improve the platform. Data is aggregated/anonymised where possible. Consent is required; managed via our cookie banner.

3.4 Advertising/Marketing Cookies (including Affiliates)

We may use these for affiliate referral tracking (e.g., pixels/cookies to attribute commissions from partner links). Consent required; managed via banner.

Third-Party Cookies

Third parties (e.g., Stripe) set cookies via our platform:

Stripe (payments, Connect, Billing)

Uses cookies like __stripe_mid, __stripe_sid, m (fraud prevention/risk assessment), pay_sid (authentication), elements_session (analytics). Stripe collects device info, IP, browsing behaviour for fraud detection, authentication, and service improvement.

Stripe Disclosure (as required)

We use Stripe for payments, analytics, and other services. Stripe may collect personal data via cookies and similar technologies. This may include transactional data and device-identifying information. Stripe uses this to operate/improve services, including fraud detection, loss prevention, authentication, and performance analytics.
