Cookie Policy
Last updated 22 September 2026 · Version 2026-09-22
This policy explains the cookie and browser storage The Link Education Hub uses and why.
1. The short version
The Hub uses one cookie, to keep you signed in, and a few small browser storage items that remember simple choices on your device. We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels or third-party analytics, and we do not follow you around other websites. Because everything we use is strictly necessary for the site to work as you would expect, we do not show a cookie banner.
2. What cookies and browser storage are
A cookie is a small text file a website saves in your browser. Browser storage (such as session storage) works in a similar way but stays on your device and is never sent to our servers. Both let a site remember something between pages.
3. Exactly what we use
| Name | Type | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| hub_session | Cookie, strictly necessary | Keeps you signed in securely. It holds a signed token, is hidden from page scripts (HttpOnly) and is only sent over secure connections. | 30 days, or until you sign out |
| hub-companion-off | Session storage | Remembers that you closed the tips companion, so it stays away. | Until you close the tab |
| hub-dream-next, hub-dream-kid | Session storage | Paces how often Gul and Karim's message appears, and whose turn it is. | Until you close the tab |
4. Other companies
Our fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, so your browser connects to Google's servers to download them, which shares your IP address with Google. We do not set cookies for Google. If you choose to share the Hub on WhatsApp, open a video call link or visit another website from the Hub, that service's own cookie policy applies.
5. Your choices
You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings at any time. If you block the hub_session cookie you will not be able to sign in, because it is how the Hub knows it is you. Closing the tab clears the session storage items. If we ever want to use any non-essential cookie, we will ask for your permission first and update this policy.
