Last Updated: April 30, 2025
1. Introduction
Welcome to ArtistPayDay.com ("we", "us", or "our"). This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on our website. We are committed to transparency in our data practices and ensuring compliance with applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and other relevant regulations.
This policy applies exclusively to our use of essential cookies, which are necessary for the website’s core functionality. We do not use non-essential cookies, such as those for tracking, advertising, or analytics purposes.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (e.g., computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They enable the website to recognize your device, store preferences, and provide a seamless user experience. Essential cookies, as used on our site, are strictly necessary to deliver the services you request and ensure the website operates as intended.
3. Cookies We Use
We use only essential cookies on ArtistPayDay.com. These cookies are critical for the website’s operation and cannot be disabled without impairing functionality. Below is a detailed list of their purposes:
- Session Management: Maintain your login session, ensuring you remain authenticated as you navigate the site.
- Security: Protect your account and transactions by enabling features like secure authentication and fraud prevention.
- Core Functionality: Facilitate navigation, access to secure areas (e.g., your account dashboard), and other fundamental website features.
We do not use cookies or similar technologies (e.g., pixels, web beacons) for tracking, advertising, analytics, or any purpose beyond what is strictly necessary for the website’s operation.
4. Legal Basis for Using Cookies
Under applicable data protection laws, such as the GDPR, the use of essential cookies is based on our legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) to operate the website and provide you with the requested services. Since these cookies are strictly necessary, they do not require explicit consent under GDPR or similar regulations (e.g., ePrivacy Directive). However, we are committed to transparency and provide this policy to inform you of their use.
5. Managing Cookies
As our cookies are essential for the website’s operation, they cannot be disabled through a cookie consent mechanism. However, you can manage cookies via your browser settings:
- Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Instructions can typically be found in the "Help" or "Settings" section of your browser.
- Be aware that blocking essential cookies may prevent you from accessing certain features of the website, such as logging in or completing transactions.

6. Third-Party Cookies
We do not use third-party cookies on ArtistPayDay.com, nor do we share cookie data with third parties. All cookies are set by us and are used solely for the purposes outlined in this policy.
7. Data Retention
Essential cookies are typically session-based, meaning they are deleted when you close your browser. In some cases, cookies may persist for a short period (e.g., to maintain your login session across brief interruptions). We do not retain cookie data longer than necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy.
