SevinHub uses a small number of first-party cookies to keep the site working. There are no third-party advertising cookies, no ad-network trackers, and no Google Analytics / Facebook Pixel or similar advertising scripts on this site. Public pages include one active cookie-free 1ClickImpact climate badge that counts aggregate impressions toward environmental impact. For how the badge and personal data are handled, see the Privacy Policy.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
PHPSESSID | Keeps you logged in and remembers your session (cart-free checkout, form state). | Until browser closes | Strictly necessary |
sh_remember | Keeps you logged in across visits when you tick "Remember me" at login. | Set at login, until you log out or it expires | Strictly necessary (opt-in) |
sh_currency | Remembers your preferred display currency so prices don't reset every visit. | 365 days | Functional / preference |
sh_ref | Records which affiliate link (if any) brought you here, so the right affiliate is credited if you purchase. | 30 days | Functional |
A few settings are kept only in your own browser (localStorage or sessionStorage). They are never sent to SevinHub and you can clear them in your browser settings.
| Key | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
sh-theme | Remembers light or dark theme. | Until you clear it |
shCalmMode | Remembers Calm Mode (fewer animations). | Until you clear it |
shHxSeen | Remembers when the homepage intro last played, so repeat visits within 30 days get the short version. | Until you clear it; ignored after 30 days |
shHxPlayed | Remembers that the intro already played in this tab, so returning to the homepage shows the finished frame. | Until the tab closes |
Page views are logged server-side (page, referrer, a one-way hash of your IP address, and your account ID if logged in) to a first-party analytics table used only for our own traffic/usage insights. This does not use a tracking cookie and nothing is shared with or sold to third parties.
Public pages also load a lightweight, cookie-free analytics script from Rybbit (app.rybbit.io). It counts page views, referrers, device types and countries without cookies, fingerprinting or cross-site tracking, and it never receives your account, purchase or support data. If you block the script, the site keeps working normally.
The active climate badge makes cookie-free requests to 1ClickImpact to load the badge and count an aggregate impression toward its impact threshold. The badge does not receive your SevinHub account, purchase, support, or session data. The requests themselves include normal network metadata such as your IP address, browser request headers, and the SevinHub origin or referrer.
Because the strictly-necessary cookies are required for login and checkout to function, there's no separate cookie-consent toggle for those. You can block or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings, doing so may log you out or reset your currency preference, but won't prevent you from browsing the site.
If the cookies this site uses change (for example, if a payment provider or analytics tool is added later), this page will be updated to reflect that.
