Last Updated: March 4, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how MastryHub uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our platform. By continuing to use our website, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply information to site owners. Cookies can be "persistent" (remaining on your device for a set period) or "session" (deleted when you close your browser).
How We Use Cookies
MastryHub uses cookies for the following purposes:
- Essential Cookies: Required for the platform to function properly. These include cookies for authentication, session management, and security. Without these cookies, core features like login and event registration cannot work.
- Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how users interact with our platform. We use Google Analytics to collect anonymized data about page views, navigation patterns, and usage metrics to improve our services.
- Functionality Cookies: Remember your preferences and settings, such as language selection, theme preferences, and display options, to provide a personalized experience.
- Performance Cookies: Collect information about how the platform performs, including page load times and error reports, to help us identify and resolve technical issues.

Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our platform are placed by third-party services that we use:
- Google Analytics: For website analytics and performance monitoring
- Authentication Providers: When you sign in using third-party services (Google, GitHub), those services may set their own cookies
We do not control third-party cookies. Please refer to the respective privacy policies of these services for more information about their cookie practices.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have several options for managing cookies:
- Browser Settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings. Refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions.
- Opt-Out Links: For Google Analytics, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on
- Device Settings: On mobile devices, you can manage tracking preferences through your device's privacy settings
Please note that disabling certain cookies may impact the functionality of the MastryHub platform. Essential cookies cannot be disabled as they are necessary for the platform to function.
Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites indicating you do not wish to be tracked. MastryHub currently does not respond to DNT signals, as there is no industry-wide standard for compliance. However, you can manage your tracking preferences using the options described in Section 5.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our data practices. The updated policy will be posted on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
