1. Who we are
hackonvibe.com is operated by Fiber LLC (Texas, United States of America), the organizer of HackOnVibe. Questions about your data? Contact the organizer.
2. What are cookies
Cookies are small text files a site stores in your browser. We use only first-party cookies — we do not load third-party advertising or cross-site tracking cookies, and there is no Google Analytics or similar third-party analytics on this site.
3. Cookies we use
Essential cookies are needed for the site to work and are always on. Non-essential (analytics / attribution) cookies are set only after you click “Accept” in the cookie banner. If you reject, or before you choose, they are not set.
| Cookie | Type | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
hov_consent | Essential | Remembers your cookie choice (accepted / rejected). | 180 days |
org_session, member_session | Essential | Keep you signed in to the organizer / participant cabinet. | Session |
hov_vid | Consent | Anonymous visitor id — measures how people move through the funnel. | 180 days |
hov_org, hov_edition | Consent | Remember which co-organizer referral link brought you, so credit is attributed. | 30 days |
hov_reg | Consent | Marks that this browser already registered for an edition. | 180 days |
4. Legal basis
We rely on your consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)) for the non-essential cookies, and on our legitimate interest in a working, secure site for the essential ones.
5. Changing or withdrawing your choice
To change your mind, delete the hov_consent cookie for this site in your browser
settings — the banner will appear again on your next visit and you can choose afresh. Rejecting or
clearing consent stops the non-essential cookies from being set going forward.
