Cookie Policy
Hub Design is operated by Hegde Ventures. This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar browser technologies are used on hubdesign.in, and how you control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
On this page
Our principle is straightforward: technology that is genuinely necessary for the site to work may operate without optional consent. On the main Hub Design website, optional Analytics and Advertising remain off unless you allow them.
Dedicated paid advertising landing pages may use a different initial preference configuration, as explained in section 06. You can reject optional technologies or change your Analytics and Advertising choices through .
01Scope
This policy covers the Hub Design website at hubdesign.in and the browser-based technologies used through it, including cookies and comparable browser storage such as local storage and session storage.
02Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small pieces of information a website stores through your browser. Related technologies can perform similar functions using different storage methods and lifespans. Session storage is generally cleared when you close the browser tab, while local storage may persist until it is removed.
We use these technologies for a limited number of purposes, including remembering your cookie choice, maintaining progress while you complete a form, keeping temporary interface state during a visit, protecting forms from automated abuse, measuring how the site is used where Analytics is enabled, and measuring campaigns where Advertising is enabled.
03How we group these technologies
Necessary for the website, or for a feature you have chosen to use.
This includes storage used to remember your cookie choice, maintain continuity while you complete forms, and support security measures that protect forms and verification steps.
Essential technologies operate without optional consent. In our Cookie Preferences control these appear as Strictly Necessary.
Not required for the website to function. This includes Analytics and Advertising.
On the main Hub Design website, these technologies remain off unless you allow them.
Dedicated paid advertising landing pages may use the different initial preference configuration described in section 06, where Analytics and Advertising can begin enabled and you can reject or change either choice through .
Analytics and Advertising remain separate choices. Allowing Analytics is not permission for Advertising tracking, and you can change either preference independently.
04Essential technologies
Functional
First-party browser storage may be used to:
- remember your cookie preference, so you are not asked again on every visit;
- preserve Start Hub progress, so refreshing the page does not lose your place; and
- preserve Contact form draft or completion state where that functionality is enabled.
Apart from your cookie preference, this type of temporary functional state is generally session-scoped and cleared when the relevant browser session ends.
Security
Hub Design may use security technologies to protect forms and verification steps from automated abuse.
Depending on the relevant form and current configuration, these may include:
- Cloudflare Turnstile, used for selected verification steps; and
- Google reCAPTCHA v3, which may be used for selected form submissions.
These technologies perform a security function rather than Analytics or Advertising. Where enabled, they may operate independently of your Analytics preference because they are used to protect the website and its forms.
Security technologies may be enabled, disabled or replaced from time to time depending on operational, security or technical requirements.
05Analytics
Analytics helps us understand, in aggregate, how the website is used and where the experience can be improved.
We use Google Analytics 4, loaded through Google Tag Manager.
On the main Hub Design website, Google Tag Manager loads when you allow Analytics or Advertising. Google Analytics requires the separate Analytics choice. Allowing Advertising alone does not grant Analytics permission.
On designated paid advertising landing pages, Analytics may begin enabled under the initial preference configuration described in section 06 where no saved preference already exists.
You can reject Analytics or change that preference through . If you withdraw Analytics, we stop further Analytics collection and apply the corresponding consent state to the technologies governed by that preference.
Analytics may show us information such as pages viewed, how visits progress, which elements are interacted with, general browser and device information, how visitors arrived, and how the website performs technically.
We do not use analytics to identify individual prospects, score leads, decide whom to contact, or link analytics identifiers to names, email addresses, Contact submissions, Start Hub briefs or client records.
We do not give agencies, freelancers or consultants routine access to our analytics.
Advertising-related consent signals follow the separate Advertising preference described in this policy.
06Paid advertising landing pages
Dedicated Hub Design landing pages used for paid advertising may use a different initial preference configuration from the rest of the website.
Where no saved preference already exists, Analytics and Advertising may be enabled by default on these designated pages.
A Cookie Preferences notice is shown so that you can reject optional technologies or change Analytics and Advertising independently.
If you have already saved a preference, that choice is respected.
You can also change or withdraw either preference at any time through .
This configuration applies only to designated paid advertising landing pages. On the rest of the Hub Design website, optional Analytics and Advertising remain off unless you allow them.
07What is stored
Essential
Hub Design may use first-party browser storage to remember your Cookie Preferences, maintain progress while you complete forms or briefs, and support temporary functional state needed for features you choose to use.
Essential storage may operate without optional consent where it is needed for the relevant website functionality.
Analytics — where enabled
Where Analytics is enabled, cookies or similar browser storage may be used to distinguish visits, understand how people use Hub Design, measure page and journey performance, and support aggregated reporting.
Advertising — where enabled
Where Advertising is enabled, cookies or similar browser storage may be used for campaign measurement, attribution, advertising-related reporting and optimisation.
Security
Security technologies may use cookies or similar browser mechanisms where necessary to protect forms and verification steps from automated abuse.
The specific browser identifiers and storage methods may change as our technology and configuration evolve. Retention varies according to the relevant technology and purpose, and browser controls may shorten or remove stored information.
08Advertising and marketing
Where Advertising is enabled, Hub Design uses advertising measurement and attribution technologies to understand campaign performance, attribute visits and meaningful actions such as submitted enquiries or Start Hub briefs to advertising sources, and support advertising-related reporting and optimisation.
Allowing Analytics does not subscribe you to marketing communications.
Submitting a Contact enquiry or a Start Hub brief does not enrol you in a newsletter or marketing programme. That information is used to respond to you, as described in our Privacy Policy.
On the main Hub Design website, Advertising remains off unless you allow it.
On designated paid advertising landing pages, Advertising may be enabled initially where no saved preference already exists.
You can reject or withdraw Advertising independently of Analytics through , and any saved preference is respected on subsequent visits.
Allowing Analytics does not grant Advertising permission.
If Advertising is withdrawn, its consent signals are changed back to denied and the page reloads where needed to apply that choice.
09Managing your preferences
On the main Hub Design website, you can accept all, reject optional technologies, or select Analytics and Advertising independently when you first visit.
On designated paid advertising landing pages, Analytics and Advertising may be enabled initially where no saved preference already exists. The Cookie Preferences notice allows you to reject optional technologies or change Analytics and Advertising independently.
Your saved preferences are respected across subsequent visits and can be changed or withdrawn at any time through .
Cookie Preferences can be reopened from the website footer and from the utility footer provided on designated paid advertising landing pages.
Your choice is remembered until you change it, clear your browser data, or we make a material change to these practices that warrants asking again.
You can also manage cookies and site data directly in your browser.
Browser controls work independently of Cookie Preferences, and clearing site data may also remove your saved cookie choice and form progress held for the current visit.
10Changes to this Cookie Policy
We update this policy when the technologies on the website change, when services or providers change, when our consent controls change, or when our practices need to be made clearer.
Where a change materially affects the purposes for which non-essential technologies operate, we may ask you to make a fresh choice rather than rely on a previous one.
The date at the top of this page shows when it was last updated.
