The short version
Potteries Gigs is a simple website that lists gigs. There are no accounts, no forms and no comments. We don’t set any tracking cookies, so there is no cookie banner. We don’t sell your data, and we don’t collect names or addresses from visitors.
Who we are
Potteries Gigs is a small, independently run website listing live music around Stoke-on-Trent. If you have a question about this policy or your data, email [email protected].
How the site works
It is a static website: the pages are built in advance and served as they are. When you search or filter the gigs, that happens in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to us or stored.
Fonts are served from this site, not from Google or any other outside service.
Hosting
The site is hosted by Cloudflare, Inc. When you visit, Cloudflare handles your request, which includes your IP address, the page you asked for and basic details about your browser. Cloudflare uses this to deliver the site, keep it secure and keep it running. Cloudflare may also set a strictly necessary security cookie to protect the site from automated abuse. It isn’t used for tracking and we don’t read it. We don’t get this information about you personally. Cloudflare may process data outside the UK, using the safeguards described in its own policy: cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.
Cookies and analytics
We don’t currently use analytics, and we set no cookies of our own. If we add analytics, it will be a cookieless service such as Cloudflare Web Analytics, and we will update this page first.
We don’t use advertising cookies or social media trackers.
Links to ticket sellers and venues
Every gig links to the venue’s own page or its ticket seller, such as Skiddle, Gigantic, See Tickets, Eventbrite or Ticket247. Once you click, you are on their site and their privacy policy and cookies apply, not ours. The “Open in Maps” links on venue pages go to Google Maps in the same way.
Affiliate links
Some ticket links may earn us a small commission at no extra cost to you. This works through affiliate schemes run by some ticket sellers or their partners. When you click one of these links, the seller or its affiliate network may set a cookie on their site so they can tell that a ticket sale came from us. That cookie is theirs, not ours. We only ever see summary reports of clicks and sales, never who you are. The price you pay is the same either way, and commission doesn’t decide which gigs are listed.
If you email us
If you write to [email protected], for example to add or correct a gig, we receive your email address and whatever you tell us. We use it only to reply and to fix the listings. We don’t pass it on, and we delete messages once they’re dealt with, unless we need to keep one for a good reason, such as a dispute. Our email provider handles the message on its way to us. Our lawful basis under UK data protection law is legitimate interests (answering you).
Your rights
You can ask what personal data we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, or object to how we use it. Email us and we’ll reply within a month. If you’re unhappy with how we’ve handled something, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update the date at the top of this page.
