This Cookie Policy explains how Gigcloser uses cookies and similar technologies.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They remember preferences, authenticate sessions, and help websites function securely.
2. Cookies We Use
All cookies set by Gigcloser are strictly necessary for the Service to function. We do not use functional, analytics, or advertising cookies.

|---|---|---|
| __Secure-better-auth.session_token | Signed session token that keeps you signed in | 7 days |
| __Secure-better-auth.dont_remember | Set when you uncheck "Keep me signed in". Causes your session to expire when you close the browser instead of after 7 days. | Session |
| __Secure-better-auth.oauth_state | Temporary security token used during OAuth sign-in (Google, Upwork). Deleted automatically once login completes. | ~10 minutes |
All cookies are served with the Secure flag (HTTPS only) and SameSite=Lax to prevent cross-site request forgery.
3. No Consent Banner Required
Because every cookie we set is strictly necessary, we are not required to show a cookie consent banner under ePrivacy or GDPR regulations. If we introduce non-essential cookies in the future, we will update this policy and add a consent mechanism before setting them.
4. Third-Party Cookies
We do not use third-party advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or retargeting cookies. Stripe may set cookies during the checkout process; these are covered by Stripe's Privacy Policy.
5. Managing Cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent the Service from functioning.
