What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to site owners.
Cookies can be "session" cookies (which are deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them).
How We Use Cookies
Hangar.Media uses a minimal set of cookies that are necessary for the platform to function. We take a privacy-first approach and do not use any third-party analytics or marketing cookies.
Our cookies fall into the following categories:
- Strictly necessary cookies: These are essential for the Service to operate. They enable core functionality such as maintaining your login session and protecting against cross-site request forgery. The Service cannot function properly without these cookies.
- Preference cookies: These store your choices (such as your cookie consent preferences) so the platform can respect them on future visits.
We do not currently use any analytics or marketing cookies. If this changes in the future, we will update this policy and seek your consent before setting any non-essential cookies.
Cookies We Use
The following table lists every cookie set by the Hangar.Media platform:
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Category |
|---|---|---|---|
| hangar_media_session | Maintains your authenticated session as you navigate the platform. Contains an encrypted session identifier. | Session (deleted when you close your browser) | Strictly necessary |
| XSRF-TOKEN | Protects against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks by validating that form submissions originate from our website. | Session (deleted when you close your browser) | Strictly necessary |
| cookie_consent | Records whether you have accepted or declined cookies via the consent banner, so we do not ask you again on every visit. | 1 year | Strictly necessary |
| cookie_categories | Stores your specific cookie category preferences (which categories you have accepted or declined). | 1 year | Strictly necessary |
Third-Party Cookies
Hangar.Media does not set any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking cookies.
When you make a payment, Stripe (our payment processor) may set cookies on your device to facilitate the payment process, detect fraud, and maintain security. These cookies are set directly by Stripe and are governed by Stripe's cookie policy. We do not control the content of Stripe's cookies.
No other third-party services used by the platform set cookies in your browser.
Managing Cookies
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:
- View what cookies are stored on your device
- Delete individual cookies or all cookies
- Block cookies from specific sites or all sites
- Set your browser to notify you when a cookie is being set
Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent the Service from functioning correctly. You may be unable to log in or use certain features if these cookies are disabled.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for operational, legal, or regulatory reasons.
If we introduce any new categories of cookies (such as analytics), we will notify you by displaying an updated consent banner and, where required, seek your explicit consent before setting those cookies.
We encourage you to revisit this page periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies.
