Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies & Browser Storage?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, tablet, or smartphone by websites you visit. Alongside related browser technologies such as localStorage and sessionStorage, cookies are widely used to keep websites secure, remember user preferences, and deliver relevant advertising.
2. How Codes Hub Uses Cookies (Zero Document Tracking)
Codes Hub is built on a privacy-first, client-side architecture. We do not use first-party tracking cookies, login sessions, or analytics trackers to record your invoices, quotes, receipts, client details, or financial calculations. All tool inputs remain strictly inside your browser’s temporary runtime memory until you close or refresh the tab.

6. Embedded Widgets (?embed=1 Mode)
When Codes Hub tools are embedded on third-party websites via our Developers iframe snippets, ad containers are hidden in ?embed=1 mode, and Codes Hub sets zero tracking cookies inside the embedded widget.
