This Cookie Policy explains how CricHubb ("we", "us") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit crichubb.com.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. They help websites remember your preferences and understand how you interact with the site. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and browser fingerprinting.

2. Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies: These are necessary for the Service to function. They include your authentication session token and theme preference (light/dark mode). You cannot opt out of essential cookies.

Engagement Tracking (Local Storage): We store an anonymous browser fingerprint (a random UUID) in your browser's local storage to track your interactions (likes, dislikes, views) and prevent duplicate counting. This identifier is not a cookie but functions similarly. It is not linked to your identity.

Preference Cookies: We store your language preference (English, Hindi, Telugu) and theme setting in local storage so the site remembers your choices across visits.

Analytics Cookies: We may use third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use the Service. These cookies collect information in aggregate form.

Advertising Cookies: Third-party ad networks may set cookies to serve relevant advertisements and track ad performance. These cookies may track your browsing activity across different websites.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Our advertising partners and embedded content providers (such as X/Twitter embeds) may set their own cookies. We do not control these cookies. Please review the privacy policies of these third parties for more information.

4. Managing Cookies

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. However, blocking essential cookies may prevent the Service from functioning properly.

To clear the engagement fingerprint stored in local storage, you can clear your browser's site data for crichubb.com.

For advertising cookies, you can opt out through the Digital Advertising Alliance (optout.aboutads.info) or the Network Advertising Initiative (optout.networkadvertising.org).
