Cookies used by CookieHub

CookieHub uses cookies and local storage entries to manage user consent and ensure compliance with privacy regulations such as GDPR, CCPA, and IAB frameworks. These items store only the data required to remember user preferences and maintain accurate consent logs.

Main cookies and storage entries

cookiehub (Cookie)

Purpose:

The primary cookie used by CookieHub to store user consent preferences and related data. It ensures that users are not repeatedly shown the consent banner and that their choices are remembered for future visits.

Data stored:

  • answered : Indicates if the user has made any consent choices.
  • revision : Tracks the consent version. If consents are reset in the dashboard, this value updates.
  • dnt : True if the browser sends a “Do Not Track” signal.
  • allowSale : Indicates opt-out status for personal data sale (used in CCPA/IAB GPP).
  • region : Stores the detected region code to determine applicable rules.
  • token : A unique ID linking the session to the consent log entry.
  • timestamp : The date and time of the last consent update.
  • categories : Lists categories allowed or denied. Empty if all are allowed.
  • vendors : Lists vendors allowed or denied. Empty if all are allowed.
  • services : Lists enabled services based on consent.
  • implicit : True if implicit consent is enabled.

The cookiehub cookie value is base64-encoded and contains a JSON object with these properties.
