Cookie Policy
Last Updated: March 15, 2025
We want you to know exactly how hubchannelnet.com collects and uses information when you visit our site. This policy explains the tracking technologies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences. Being transparent about data practices matters to us because your trust matters.
What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit websites. They help sites remember your preferences, understand how you interact with content, and improve your overall experience. Think of them as tiny digital notepads that keep track of useful information between your visits.
We also use similar technologies like web beacons, pixels, and local storage. These work alongside cookies to help us understand site performance and user behavior patterns. Some tracking happens through your browser, while other data gets stored locally on your device.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Cookies
These keep the site functioning properly. They handle basic operations like security, load balancing, and session management. Without these, core features wouldn't work. We don't ask permission for essential cookies because they're necessary for the site to operate.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices and preferences. Things like language settings, display options, or form data you've entered. They make your experience more convenient by storing personalization settings across visits.
Analytics Cookies
We track how visitors use our site to identify what works and what doesn't. Analytics data shows us which pages get the most attention, where users spend time, and where they encounter problems. This helps us make informed decisions about improvements.
Marketing Cookies
These track your activity to show relevant content and measure campaign effectiveness. They help us understand which marketing efforts bring visitors to our site and what content resonates with different audiences.
Specific Cookies on HubChannelNet
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| hcn_session | Maintains your login session and security tokens | Session only |
| hcn_preferences | Stores your site customization choices | 12 months |

Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies stay on your device for the specified duration unless you delete them manually. Most of our functional and analytical tracking uses persistent cookies to maintain continuity across visits.
How We Use Tracking Data
The information we collect serves several practical purposes. Here's what actually happens with your data:
- Understanding which budget management features get used most frequently and which ones cause confusion
- Identifying technical issues like slow-loading pages or broken functionality before they affect more users
- Measuring the effectiveness of educational content so we can create more of what helps people
- Personalizing your experience by remembering project templates and calculation preferences
- Improving site navigation based on actual user paths through different sections
- Testing new features with small groups before wider release
Data Retention: We keep analytical data for 26 months to identify long-term trends and seasonal patterns. Session data gets deleted immediately after your visit ends. Preference data stays until you clear it or we update our systems.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You control what tracking happens on your device. Browser settings give you complete authority over cookie acceptance and storage. Every modern browser includes tools for managing these preferences.
Open your browser settings menu. Usually found in the top right corner under three dots or lines.
Look for Privacy, Security, or Site Settings sections. Different browsers organize these differently.
Find the Cookies or Site Data option. You'll see choices about blocking, allowing, or managing stored cookies.
Choose your preference level. Most browsers let you block all cookies, allow only first-party cookies, or customize by site.

Blocking all cookies might affect site functionality. You may need to log in repeatedly, lose saved preferences, or experience slower performance. We recommend allowing at least essential cookies while limiting others based on your comfort level.
Third-Party Tracking
Some cookies come from services we use to run our site. Analytics providers, content delivery networks, and security services may set their own tracking. These third parties have their own privacy policies governing how they handle data.
We carefully select third-party services and review their data practices. However, once data reaches their systems, their policies apply. You can block third-party cookies specifically in most browsers without affecting first-party cookies from hubchannelnet.com directly.
Updates to This Policy
We update this policy when we change tracking practices or add new technologies. The date at the top shows when we last made revisions. Significant changes get announced through email notifications to registered users.
Checking this page periodically keeps you informed about current practices. We don't make major changes without good reason, but technology evolves and sometimes our tracking needs change with it.
