Cookie Policy
This page explains how the Hummark website uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — and what choices you have about them. We use cookies sparingly, and we do not use them to track you across other websites.
What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your computer, tablet, or phone when you visit. The file is stored locally on your device and is sent back to the website on subsequent visits. Cookies allow the site to recognise your device and remember certain information — for example, whether you have previously accepted the cookie notice.
Cookies are not programs and they cannot carry viruses or install software. They are simply small pieces of data used to make websites work more reliably and, in some cases, to collect anonymous information about how the site is used.
Cookies used on this website
We group the cookies used on this website into four categories:
Essential cookies Always active
These cookies are necessary for the website to function. They manage your session, remember your cookie preference, and support basic security. You cannot disable essential cookies.
Examples: Cookie consent preference (cookieConsent), session tokens
Duration: Session to 12 months
Analytics cookies Optional
These cookies help us understand how visitors use the website — which pages are visited, how long people stay, and where they come from. The data is anonymous and used only to improve the site.
Examples: Google Analytics (_ga, _gid)
Duration: Up to 26 months
Marketing cookies Optional
These cookies are used to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns and to show relevant content on other platforms. They may be set by third-party services we use for advertising.
Examples: Facebook Pixel (_fbp), Bing Ads (MUID)
Duration: Up to 13 months
Preference cookies Optional
These cookies remember your settings and choices on the website to improve your experience on return visits, such as your region or language preference.
Examples: Language preference, display settings
Duration: Up to 12 months
Third-party cookies
Some cookies on this website are placed by third-party services we use. We do not control these cookies directly. Third-party services that may place cookies include:
- Google Analytics — anonymised website usage statistics
- Google Ads / Tag Manager — conversion tracking for advertising campaigns
- Facebook Pixel — advertising measurement and audience building
- Microsoft Advertising (Bing) — advertising conversion measurement
You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. Each third-party service also provides its own privacy and opt-out controls.
How long cookies last
Cookies are either session cookies or persistent cookies:
- Session cookies are temporary. They are deleted from your device when you close your browser. We use session cookies primarily for essential site functions.
- Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period after you close your browser — typically between one month and 26 months depending on the cookie's purpose.
You can delete cookies at any time using your browser settings. Deleting cookies will not affect the content you see on the website, but it will remove your saved preferences, including your cookie consent.
Your cookie preferences
Use the controls below to manage your cookie preferences. Essential cookies cannot be disabled — they are required for the website to work. Your preferences are saved to your browser and will be applied on this website.

Your rights
You have the right to:
- Withdraw consent at any time by updating your preferences using the controls above, or by clearing cookies in your browser settings.
- Access information about which cookies we use and why — this page serves that purpose.
- Object to non-essential cookies without affecting your ability to use the website. Disabling analytics or marketing cookies will not prevent you from reading any content on the site.
Note that disabling essential cookies may affect basic functionality such as remembering your cookie preference, which means the consent notice may reappear on each visit.
