This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies to operate our marketplace, connect artists and organizers across Europe, and improve your experience on the platform.

1. What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit, making future visits easier and improving your overall experience.

Your search filters are stored in the page URL rather than cookies, allowing you to share filtered links. Interface preferences remain stored only within your browser and are never transmitted to Degigs.
