Cookie Usage Overview at Gig Hire Hub

At Gig Hire Hub, we value your trust and prioritize transparency in how we use cookies. This policy explains the different types of cookies used on our site, their specific functions, and how they improve your experience. Our goal is to offer a seamless and personalized visit each time you access our platform. Whether you're exploring our site for the first time or returning, we want you to feel informed and empowered to control your cookie settings at any time through our simple preference tools.

Understanding Cookies and Tracking Tools

Cookies are compact data files that websites install on your device during your visit. These files are designed to enhance usability, optimize site performance, and assist website operators in gaining insights into visitor interactions. By storing preferences such as language and login data, cookies allow for a smoother and more tailored browsing experience.

  • Session Cookies: These temporary cookies exist only while your browser is open. They're primarily used to remember user activity within a single browsing session, like tracking items in a cart or keeping navigation consistent.
  • Persistent Cookies: Unlike session cookies, persistent cookies remain on your system even after the browser is closed. They help websites remember returning users, retain login states, and keep user settings like themes or layout preferences intact.
  • Web Beacons: Also known as tracking pixels, these invisible images are embedded into web content or emails. Rather than storing data locally, they send signals back to a server to report user behaviour, such as which pages are visited.
  • Flash Cookies: Used primarily for multimedia settings, Flash cookies store information like volume control or video progress. They are not managed through standard browser settings and often need separate tools to delete.
  • Pixels: These are snippets of code inserted into websites or emails to track user engagement. Pixels can show whether an email was opened or if specific links were clicked, providing detailed analytics.

Why We Use Cookies on Our Site

We rely on cookies to improve your interaction with our website, monitor usage patterns, and maintain high security standards. These small data files allow us to deliver personalized content and keep the platform running effectively.

  • Performance Cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages are accessed most frequently, and which links are clicked. This data enables us to refine site functionality and improve user experience.
  • Functionality Cookies: Functionality cookies remember user preferences, like your selected language, layout options, or saved form inputs. They make return visits more convenient by preserving your custom settings.
  • Security Cookies: To protect our users and systems, security cookies are used to detect suspicious behaviour. They help prevent unauthorized access and safeguard your information while you browse.

Cookie Types We Use
