Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Takian Corporation OÜ (“we”, “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on https://hubumo.eu, and how you can control them. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

Controller: Takian Corporation OÜ · Registry code 16081236 · VAT number EE102301283

2. Legal framework

The use of cookies and similar technologies that store or access information on your terminal equipment is regulated in particular by:

• Article 5(3) of Directive 2002/58/EC (ePrivacy Directive), as amended by Directive 2009/136/EC — requiring prior informed consent for non-essential storage/access, subject to limited exceptions for cookies strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the user;
• the GDPR, insofar as cookies involve personal data (definitions in Article 4; lawfulness in Article 6; consent in Article 7; transparency in Articles 12–14);
• Estonian Electronic Communications Act (Elektroonilise side seadus) implementing ePrivacy rules;
• guidance of the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) and the Estonian Data Protection Inspectorate on cookies and tracking.

3. What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels, SDKs and device fingerprinting techniques that store or access information on terminal equipment.

Cookies may be:

• First-party — set by hubumo.eu; or
• Third-party — set by another domain (e.g. embedded services), where used.

They may be session cookies (deleted when you close the browser) or persistent cookies (remaining until expiry or deletion).

4. Categories we use

4.1 Strictly necessary / essential

Required to provide the Site or a feature you request — for example load balancing, security tokens, abuse prevention, remembering a cookie preference choice, or essential UI state (such as theme). These typically fall under the ePrivacy “strictly necessary” exception and may be processed under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests in operating a secure website) without prior consent, where the exception applies.

4.2 Functional / preference

Remember choices that improve experience but are not strictly required. Where these are not strictly necessary, we rely on consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR / ePrivacy).

4.3 Analytics / performance (if enabled)

Help us understand how the Site is used (e.g. aggregated page views, referral sources). Non-essential analytics cookies are used only with consent, unless a specific configuration is demonstrably privacy-preserving and permitted under applicable guidance without consent — which we will document if relied upon.

4.4 Marketing / advertising (if enabled)

Used to measure campaigns or personalise marketing. These require prior consent and will not be set without it.

5. Illustrative cookie inventory

The exact set may vary as we improve the Site. Typical first-party examples include:

• Security / session — purpose: protect forms and sessions; duration: session or short-lived; category: essential;
• UI preference (e.g. theme) — purpose: remember display preference; duration: up to 12 months; category: essential or functional depending on implementation;
• Consent record — purpose: store your cookie choices; duration: up to 12 months; category: essential;
• Analytics identifiers (if consented) — purpose: usage statistics; duration: per provider settings; category: analytics.

For an up-to-date list of non-essential tools, contact support@hubumo.eu.

6. Consent and withdrawal

Where consent is required, it must be freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous (Article 4(11) and Article 7 GDPR). You may withdraw consent at any time with effect for the future (Article 7(3) GDPR), for example by clearing cookies, adjusting browser settings, or contacting us.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

7. How to manage cookies

Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies via settings. You can also use private browsing modes. Blocking essential cookies may cause parts of the Site to malfunction.

Browser vendor help pages typically explain cookie controls for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge and similar. Device-level advertising identifiers (where relevant) can be reset in operating system settings.

8. Data retention and recipients

Cookie-related personal data is retained only as long as necessary for the stated purpose or until you delete the cookies / withdraw consent. Recipients may include processors providing hosting or analytics under Article 28 GDPR contracts, as described in the Privacy Policy.

9. Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology or law. The “Last updated” date indicates the current version.
