Cookie Policy

1. Overview

This Cookie Policy explains how MakerHub uses cookies, local storage, and similar browser technologies when users access the platform.

These technologies help deliver secure authentication, maintain user preferences, and support platform reliability.

2. Categories of Technologies We Use

MakerHub uses a limited set of storage technologies based on functional necessity and security requirements.

• - Strictly necessary: authentication state, session continuity, and route protection.
• - Security and integrity: abuse detection, token validation, and session hardening.
• - Preference storage: theme, UI behavior, and workspace convenience settings.
• - Operational diagnostics: error and performance telemetry for platform stability.

3. What We Do Not Use

MakerHub does not sell personal data through cookies.

MakerHub does not use student cookies for cross-context behavioral advertising.

4. Third-Party Storage

Where MakerHub relies on contracted infrastructure or authentication providers, those services may set technical cookies required for secure operation.

These providers are bound by contractual data protection terms appropriate to the service relationship.

5. Browser and Device Controls

Users and institutions can manage cookie settings through browser controls, device settings, and enterprise policy tooling.

Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent login, class access, and assignment workflows from functioning correctly.

6. Retention

Cookie lifetimes vary by purpose. Session tokens typically expire automatically after inactivity, while preference storage may persist until cleared by the user or browser.

7. Updates and Contact

MakerHub may revise this policy as platform features or legal requirements evolve. Updated versions will include a revised effective date.
