1What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser; “browser storage” works in a similar way. TrademarksHub uses only the few items the site needs to work and to remember simple preferences. We do not use advertising, profiling or cross-site tracking cookies, so there is nothing to accept or reject.

3Analytics without cookies
To count visits, we store only a daily one-way fingerprint of your connection on our own server (not in your browser). It cannot be reversed to identify you and is deleted after two days.
4Third parties
Cloudflare, which protects the site, may set its own security cookie to tell people from bots. If you open a WhatsApp, Google or social-media link, those services apply their own cookie policies.
5How to control them
You can delete cookies and site data in your browser settings at any time. Blocking the essential items will log you out and may stop chat from working.
