Cookie Policy

Input Hub · Cookie Policy · v1.0 · Effective 20 October 2026

1 Introduction & scope

1.1 This Cookie Policy explains how Input Hub, operated by WILDMINT WORKS LTD, uses cookies, local storage and related storage-and-access technologies on input-hub.com. It applies when you browse, sign in, select a currency, add a Prompt to the cart, purchase digital files or use optional website features.

1.2 Cookies are distinct from the downloadable AI Prompts we sell. Their purpose is to make the store function, protect transactions and, where you choose, help us understand use of the website or deliver marketing. The Privacy Policy explains the related processing of personal data and the rights available to you.

1.3 We provide a cookie choice interface with options to customise, reject non-essential categories or accept them. Rejecting optional technologies does not prevent core shopping functions. Some strictly necessary storage operates without optional consent to deliver a service you have requested or maintain security.

2 What cookies & similar technologies are

2.1 A cookie is a small file or identifier that a website asks your browser to retain. It can last for a browser session or remain for a specified period. Local storage, session storage, tags, device identifiers and scripts can perform comparable functions and are subject to applicable storage-and-access rules.

2.2 First-party cookies originate from the Input Hub domain or technologies operated for our store. Third-party technologies may be associated with payment authentication, content delivery, analytics or advertising services; such providers can also process information under their own notices and technical settings.

2.3 Some cookies identify only a shopping basket or consent choice; others can be associated with an account, IP address or browser. A technology is not exempt from transparency merely because its identifier does not contain a person's name.

3 Why we use cookies

3.1 Essential storage maintains the basket across pages, establishes authenticated sessions, supports secure checkout, prevents forged requests and remembers the outcome of your cookie choice. Without these functions the site may be unable to complete an Order safely or sustain a signed-in account.

3.2 Preference tools may remember the chosen display currency, language or interface settings. Optional performance tools can help identify failed downloads, broken navigation or slow pages and guide fixes based on aggregated metrics. Analytics is not a condition of receiving a purchased file.

3.3 Where enabled with an appropriate choice, marketing technology can measure campaign response or personalise advertising. Marketing information is not used to decide whether your digital purchase will be fulfilled. We apply data-minimisation and review periods to optional tracking.

4 Cookie categories

4.1 The table following this section distinguishes strictly necessary storage, functional preferences, analytics/performance and marketing technologies. A category describes a purpose, not a guarantee that every tool in that category is active on every page or for every visitor.

4.2 A technology that serves several purposes is assessed according to the applicable legal requirements for each purpose. We do not categorise advertising tracking as necessary merely because a vendor bundles it with technical functionality.

4.3 Where low-risk statistical or functional storage is operated under a legally available exemption instead of consent, we provide clear information and a straightforward means of objection as required. Higher-risk profiling and personalised-advertising storage require an appropriate affirmative choice before activation.

5 Lawful basis & consent

5.1 The UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations govern the storage of and access to information on terminal equipment. The UK data-protection framework separately governs any associated processing of personal data. We provide information about the purpose and duration of technologies before enabling non-exempt uses.

5.2 Strictly necessary shopping-cart, checkout authentication and security functions may operate without consent where an applicable exemption is satisfied. Other features that require consent remain disabled unless you make a freely given, specific and informed positive choice. Simply continuing to browse is not treated as consent.

5.3 You can refuse optional categories without paying an additional charge for the standard Digital Products. Where a technology may fall within a statutory no-consent exception, we still respect the applicable transparency and objection requirements. A prior marketing choice does not automatically authorise a different tracking purpose.

6 Cookie inventory & example technology

6.1 The inventory table sets out the technologies used for the main functions of a WordPress/WooCommerce-style digital shop and the categories of optional integration presented through the consent interface. Session identifiers expire when the browser session ends or after inactivity; persistent identifiers are limited to stated purposes and periods.

6.2 Shopping-cart entries such as woocommerce_cart_hash and woocommerce_items_in_cart support recognition of the basket state. The wp_woocommerce_session family associates a temporary visitor session with order data; ordinary WordPress login/session identifiers support authenticated access where accounts are used.

6.3 The consent-choice record documents whether optional storage was permitted or refused. Analytics events and advertising identifiers, when enabled, are controlled through the selected preference category. The absence of a named advertising partner here does not authorise an unidentified partner to set non-essential cookies without appropriate disclosure and choice.

7 Third-party cookies & embedded services

7.1 A card payment gateway may use fraud-screening, risk-control and authentication storage within its hosted payment interface. Such storage is subject to the provider's technical operation and privacy responsibilities; the merchant may receive only payment status and reference information rather than card credentials.

7.2 Embedded content or outbound links to AI model websites and social networks may lead to separate technologies once you choose to visit those sites. Opening an external website is not the same as consenting to its marketing cookies on Input Hub.

7.3 We review vendors before adding new tracking services, examine their intended purposes and geographic data flows, and update our category disclosures where material. A provider's commercial preferences do not override your lawful consent or opt-out choice.

8 Managing preferences

8.1 Use the website's cookie selection interface to choose Customise, Reject All or Accept All, and to update granular settings. Non-essential storage is disabled when you reject it. The interface should present rejection with comparable ease to acceptance and should not treat the absence of interaction as approval.

8.2 You can also restrict cookies through your browser, delete stored identifiers and change device privacy controls. Blocking all storage can interrupt checkout, cart persistence or login; that consequence does not justify activating optional advertising after a refusal.

8.3 For questions about a past choice or difficulties changing preferences, contact info@input-hub.com. Where an optional third-party technology has already received information, we will explain applicable rights and the provider's own controls. We retain a proportionate record of consent decisions.

9 Retention & review

9.1 Session cookies generally last until the browsing session ends, subject to the platform's security timeout. Basket/session records are retained only as necessary for navigation and checkout. Preference identifiers may remain for up to 12 months so the site can remember a choice rather than repeatedly ask.

9.2 Analytics and advertising storage, when enabled, follow the retention period disclosed in the inventory or an updated consent panel. We periodically check installed scripts and identifiers against the published inventory, remove obsolete integrations and reassess whether each purpose remains necessary.

9.3 If a technology has a shorter period specified by its provider or applicable law, the shorter period applies. Deleting browser cookies can erase a preference record, in which case the choice panel may appear again.

10 Do-Not-Track & browser signals

10.1 Browsers can transmit privacy signals such as Do-Not-Track or additional device-specific controls. Their technical and legal significance may differ. We do not regard an unclear signal as positive consent for optional tracking and use the active consent interface as the principal means of expressing a granular choice.

10.2 When a legally binding opt-out signal applies to a particular technology or activity, we consider it in the relevant configuration. You may also turn off optional categories using the site controls, which govern future processing from that browser.

10.3 Private browsing, ad blockers or restrictive browsers may prevent some technologies from functioning. This can limit preference persistence or third-party checkout authentication, but we do not deliberately penalise customers for refusing unnecessary tracking.

11 Children & age

11.1 Input Hub is intended for adults aged 18 or older. We do not intentionally use optional tracking to profile children or market paid prompt files to minors. Visitors must have authority to purchase; age-related eligibility is further addressed in the Terms & Conditions.

11.2 If you believe a child has used the website and generated a record requiring attention, contact info@input-hub.com. We will evaluate the information, limit access and take appropriate measures under the relevant privacy law without demanding unnecessary identity documentation by ordinary email.

11.3 We assess changes to audience, content or advertising settings for their potential impact on children. If the website materially changes to target or attract minors, cookie defaults and age-appropriate transparency will be reviewed before deployment.

12 International data flows

12.1 Some payment, hosting, analytics or advertising service providers operate infrastructure outside the United Kingdom. Where associated cookie data is personal data, any international transfer must meet the relevant UK data-protection transfer requirements and the safeguards explained in the Privacy Policy.

12.2 We seek to limit optional device-level identifiers to the minimum reasonably necessary and restrict vendor access according to the chosen purposes. Consent to a cookie does not itself remove the separate requirement for a lawful personal-data transfer mechanism.

12.3 If you need details of the safeguards relevant to a specific technology, send a request to info@input-hub.com identifying the relevant function. We will assess whether further provider information or a copy of the relevant safeguards can lawfully be supplied.

13 Changes

13.1 We may update the inventory, durations and categories when the website's checkout, security or marketing features change. Material new purposes requiring consent will not silently inherit an earlier consent choice. The current Cookie Policy version and effective date identify the published text.

13.2 Changes to essential technologies may be implemented to secure or repair checkout, provided the statutory exemption conditions continue to be met. Changes to optional tracking are reflected in the selection panel and, where required, followed by a new request for consent.

13.3 We periodically assess the site and its third-party integrations so the inventory remains meaningful. The Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions are cross-referenced but cannot replace specific information about browser storage.

14 Contact

14.1 Contact WILDMINT WORKS LTD, trading as Input Hub, at info@input-hub.com with questions about cookies, preferences or data-protection rights. Postal address: Dept 7136, 43 Owston Road, Carcroft, Doncaster, United Kingdom, DN6 8DA.

14.2 For personal-data access, deletion, objection or marketing preference requests, consult the Privacy Policy or use the same email address. We will respond in accordance with applicable statutory timeframes; cookie support hours are Monday to Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. UK time.

14.3 This Policy is governed by the law of England and Wales, without excluding mandatory consumer or privacy protections applicable elsewhere. If you remain concerned about the lawful use of storage technologies or personal data, you may contact the UK Information Commissioner's Office at www.ico.org.uk, without first obtaining our permission.

Operational Maintenance Checklist

A. Maintain an internal inventory of active cookies, local-storage keys, tracking pixels, scripts, owners, functions and expiry settings; review it after each checkout, analytics or marketing integration change.

B. Verify through browser testing that strictly necessary storage functions when optional categories are rejected, and that analytics or advertising requests do not fire before the required positive choice.

C. Keep the public Cookie Policy and preference interface aligned with actual site technology, including duration, provider details and any legally available low-risk analytics exemption with objection mechanism.

D. Reconfirm that rejection and withdrawal are practically available, that consent records are retained proportionately and that obsolete tracking identifiers are removed during routine maintenance.

E. Escalate any unexplained provider script, unfamiliar identifier or storage behaviour to the privacy contact; disable non-essential functionality where the necessary transparency or lawful basis cannot be established.
