This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones this website (https://thehairshub.com, “the Site,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which covers how we handle personal data more broadly.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit it. Cookies let a website remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, or other display choices) over a period of time, so you don’t have to re-enter them every time you visit the site or browse from one page to another.
How we use cookies
We use cookies for a few different purposes:
Strictly necessary cookies
These are required for the Site to function properly and cannot be switched off. They include:
- A temporary cookie set on our login page to check whether your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
- Login cookies, set when you log in to an account on this Site (relevant mainly to site administrators, not regular visitors). These last two days, or two weeks if you select “Remember Me,” and are removed when you log out.
- A screen-options cookie that saves display preferences for logged-in users, lasting one year.
- A post-editing cookie, set only when an article is edited or published on the Site, containing no personal data beyond a post ID. It expires after one day.
Comment cookies
If you leave a comment on the Site, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in a cookie so you don’t have to re-enter them the next time you comment. These cookies last one year and are entirely optional — they’re only set if you opt in.
Advertising cookies (Google AdSense)
This Site displays advertisements served through Google AdSense. Google and its advertising partners may set cookies on your device to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites, to measure ad performance, and to limit how many times you see a given ad.
These cookies may collect information such as your IP address, browser type, and browsing behavior across sites, and they are set by Google and its partners, not directly by us. You can learn more about how Google uses this data, and control your ad personalization settings, at:
- https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads
- https://adssettings.google.com
Affiliate and referral cookies
Some links on this Site are affiliate links. When you click one, the affiliate network or clinic partner may set a cookie on your device to track that the referral came from this Site, so that we may earn a commission if you complete a qualifying action. These cookies are set by third parties, not by us directly, and typically only track the referral itself — see our Privacy Policy for more on affiliate links.
Analytics cookies
If we use an analytics tool (such as Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use the Site — which pages are viewed, how long visitors stay, and similar aggregate patterns — that tool may set its own cookies. Where used, this data is collected in aggregate and is not used to personally identify you.
Third-party cookies
Some of the cookies on this Site are set by third parties we work with — primarily Google (for advertising) and affiliate networks or clinic partners (for referral tracking) — rather than by us directly. We don’t control how these third parties use their own cookies; their use of your data is governed by their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review:
- Google: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
- Any specific affiliate network or clinic partner’s own privacy policy, where applicable
How to control or disable cookies
You have several ways to manage cookies:
Through this Site’s cookie banner. Where required by applicable law (including in the European Economic Area and the UK), we display a cookie consent banner when you first visit, letting you accept or decline non-essential cookies (such as advertising and analytics cookies). You can usually revisit your preferences through a link in the site footer or by clearing your browser’s cookies for this Site, which will trigger the banner again on your next visit.
Through your browser settings. Most browsers let you see what cookies you have and delete them individually or block cookies from particular or all websites. Since the method varies by browser, check your browser’s help documentation for specific instructions (commonly found under Settings → Privacy).
Through Google’s Ads Settings. To opt out of personalized advertising specifically from Google, visit https://adssettings.google.com.
Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may affect how parts of this Site function — for example, staying logged in or having comment details remembered.
Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example if we add new tools, analytics, or advertising partners to the Site. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
