Cookies & Analytics

🍪 In short: No invasive cookies. If basic analytics are used, they are aggregated and anonymous.

StudyHub HNBGU does not use invasive cookies or cross-site tracking tools. If basic analytics are enabled, they are used only to measure site usage and improve resources for students — never to build personal profiles.

No fingerprinting. No advertising cookies. No third-party trackers embedded in pages. We are a student-run academic resource — not an advertising platform.
