1. Why We Use Cookies
SamajHub uses a small number of cookies and similar technologies to keep the website functional, remember basic preferences, protect secure areas, and understand how visitors use the landing experience.
We avoid describing cookies in abstract legal language because communities deserve clarity. Essential cookies help the site work. Analytics cookies help us improve performance and usability. Functional cookies support onboarding and billing flows where continuity matters.
2. Cookie Table

3. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies may be set through third-party services that support analytics or payment-related journeys. For example, Google Analytics helps us understand which landing pages are useful, while payment-related flows may require short-lived functional state to complete onboarding reliably.
If third-party tooling changes over time, this policy should be updated so the table above stays aligned with the real implementation.
