Cookie Policy
Last updated: July 15, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how StackHub ("StackHub," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website at stackhub.me and related services (the "Service"). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. They help the site remember your actions and preferences, keep you logged in, measure how the site is used, and support marketing. We also use similar technologies such as local storage, pixels, and tags. In this policy we call all of these "cookies."
Cookies can be:
- First-party (set by StackHub) or third-party (set by a partner such as an analytics or affiliate provider).
- Session (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent (they stay until they expire or you delete them).
2. Why we use cookies
We use cookies to:
- Keep you logged in and keep your account secure.
- Remember your preferences and settings.
- Understand how people use the Service so we can improve it.
- Track affiliate referrals when you click through to third-party tools.
- Support marketing and measure its effectiveness, where you have consented.
3. Types of cookies we use
3.1 Strictly necessary cookies
These are required for the Service to work. They handle login, security, and core functionality, and they remember basic choices you make, such as language or display settings. You cannot turn these off through our cookie settings, and the Service will not work properly without them.
Examples: session and authentication cookies, load-balancing, fraud prevention, and settings that remember your preferences.
3.2 Analytics cookies
These help us understand which pages and playbooks are popular, how people move through the Service, and where we can improve. We use providers such as Google Analytics.
3.3 Affiliate and referral cookies
When you click a link to a third-party software tool, an affiliate cookie may record that the visit came from StackHub so that any resulting sign-up or purchase is credited to us. These may be set by our affiliate partners or networks.
3.4 Marketing cookies
Where you have consented, these help us and our partners show you relevant messages and measure campaign performance. They may be set by advertising or social media partners such as LinkedIn, Meta, Google.
4. Third-party cookies
Some cookies are set by third parties that provide services to us or that you interact with through StackHub, including analytics providers, affiliate networks, payment processors such as Stripe, and social login providers such as Google and LinkedIn. We do not control these cookies. Review each provider's own privacy and cookie policies for details.
5. Your choices and how to manage cookies
- Cookie settings. You can accept or reject non-essential cookies through your cookie settings at any time.
- Consent (EU/EEA and UK). We ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies. You can change or withdraw consent whenever you like.
- Global Privacy Control (GPC). We honor GPC and similar opt-out signals where required by law.
- Browser controls. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies in their settings. Blocking essential cookies may stop parts of the Service from working.
