This Cookies Policy explains how hubPOWER ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website [hubpower.co.uk] (the "website" and "site"). By accessing or using the Website, you agree to the use of cookies and other tracking technologies as outlined in this policy.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies enable the Website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login information, language, font size, and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don't have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the Website or browse from one page to another.

Types of cookies we use

Essential cookies:

These cookies are necessary for the functioning of the Website and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the Website may not function properly.

Analytical/performance cookies:

These cookies allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around the Website when they are using it. This helps us improve the way the Website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.

Functionality cookies:

These cookies enable the Website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

Targeting cookies:

These cookies may be set through our Website by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

Third-party cookies

We may use third-party service providers to analyse and track the usage of our Website. These third parties may use cookies and similar technologies to gather information about your interactions with the Website and other websites you visit.

The length of time that a cookie remains on your computer or mobile device depends on whether it is a “persistent” or “session” cookie. Session cookies last until you stop browsing and persistent cookies last until they expire or are deleted. Most of the cookies we use are persistent and will expire between 30 minutes and two years from the date they are downloaded to your device.

You can control and manage cookies in various ways. Please keep in mind that removing or blocking cookies can negatively impact your user experience and parts of our website may no longer be fully accessible.

Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can choose whether or not to accept cookies through your browser controls, often found in your browser’s “Tools” or “Preferences” menu. For more information on how to modify your browser settings or how to block, manage or filter cookies can be found in your browser’s help file or through such sites as: www.allaboutcookies.org.

Additionally, please note that blocking cookies may not completely prevent how we share information with third parties such as our advertising partners. To exercise your rights or opt-out of certain uses of your information by these parties, please follow the instructions in the “Behavioural Advertising” section above.

Do Not Track

Please note that because there is no consistent industry understanding of how to respond to “Do Not Track” signals, we do not alter our data collection and usage practices when we detect such a signal from your browser.

We may update our Cookies Policy from time to time. Any changes we make will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this Cookies Policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
