COOKIE
POLICY
This Cookie Policy explains how The Hub uses cookies and similar technologies on the website located at JoinTheHub.com and any related pages. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. Cookies allow a website to recognize your device and store information about your preferences or past activity. We also use similar technologies such as pixels, web beacons, local storage, and software development kits (collectively with cookies, “these technologies”).
Cookies may be “first-party” (set by the Site itself) or “third-party” (set by a domain other than the Site). They may be “session” cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent” cookies (remaining on your device for a set period or until you delete them).
2. Why We Use These Technologies
We use these technologies for purposes that may include:
-
Operating and securing the Site, including remembering preferences and detecting fraudulent or abusive activity;
-
Measuring and analyzing how visitors use the Site, so we can improve performance, content, and user experience;
-
Remembering choices you make, such as language or display preferences;
-
Where applicable, supporting marketing activities and measuring the effectiveness of our communications; and
-
Other purposes described in our Privacy Policy.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies:
These cookies are essential for the Site to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. You can configure your browser to block these cookies, but parts of the Site may not work as intended.
3.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies allow us and our service providers to count visits and traffic sources, so we can measure and improve the performance of the Site. They help us know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the Site. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and, where possible, anonymized.
3.3 Functionality Cookies
These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your preferences. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.
3.4 Marketing and Advertising Cookies
Where applicable, these cookies may be set through the Site by our advertising or analytics partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant content on other sites. They do not store personal information directly but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and device.
4. Specific Cookies Used
A list of the specific cookies and similar technologies in use on the Site, including their purpose and approximate duration, is set out below. This list will be updated periodically.
5. Your Choices
5.1 Cookie Banner / Consent Tool
Where required by applicable law, we present a cookie banner or preference center on first visit that allows you to accept or reject non-essential categories of cookies. You can change your choices at any time through the cookie preferences link available on the Site.
5.2 Browser Controls
Most browsers let you view, manage, delete, and block cookies. Instructions are typically found in the browser's “Help,” “Settings,” or “Preferences” menu. Please note that if you disable cookies entirely, some features of the Site may not function properly.
5.3 Opt-Out Tools
You may also be able to opt out of certain third-party advertising and analytics cookies through industry opt-out programs, such as:
-
Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA): [optout.aboutads.info]
-
Network Advertising Initiative (NAI): [optout.networkadvertising.org]
-
European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA): [youronlinechoices.eu]
These tools are provided and controlled by third parties; we do not guarantee their availability or effectiveness.
6. Do Not Track
Some browsers transmit “Do Not Track” signals. Because there is no consistent industry standard for recognizing these signals, the Site does not currently respond to them. We treat such signals consistent with the choices you have made through our cookie management tools, where available.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or our practices. When we make material changes, we will post the updated Policy on the Site and update the “Last Updated” date.
