Cookie Policy
Last updated: June 13, 2026 · Effective: January 1, 2025
This Cookie Policy explains how Gospel Hub (operated by Pearlbrains Ltd, "we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit gospelhub.app. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which sets out how we handle your personal data more broadly.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work properly, remember your preferences, and provide analytical information to site owners.
Similar technologies include pixel tags (tiny images embedded in web pages or emails that signal when content has been viewed), local storage (data stored in your browser beyond a single session), and device identifiers used within our mobile app. In this policy we refer to all of these collectively as "cookies".
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies to keep our website secure, understand how it is used, and improve your experience. We use two main categories:
Strictly Necessary Cookies
Cannot be disabledThese cookies are essential for the website to function. Without them, features like logging in, completing forms, or maintaining a secure session cannot work.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| gospelhub_session | Maintains your login session | Session |
| XSRF-TOKEN | Protects against cross-site request forgery attacks | Session |
| cookie_consent | Remembers your cookie preferences | 1 year |
Performance & Analytics Cookies
OptionalThese cookies collect anonymised data about how visitors use our website — such as which pages are visited most often and whether visitors encounter errors. This helps us improve the site. The data collected does not identify individual users.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics — counts visits and page views (anonymised) | 2 years |
Functional Cookies
OptionalThese cookies remember choices you make to personalise your experience — such as your preferred language or region. If you disable these cookies, some personalisation features may not work correctly on your next visit.
3. Cookies in the Mobile App
The Gospel Hub mobile app does not use browser cookies. Instead, it uses device identifiers (such as your advertising ID or a randomly generated app-specific ID) and local app storage to:
- Keep you signed in between sessions.
- Remember your offline downloads and playback preferences.
- Measure app performance and crash rates.
- Deliver relevant content recommendations based on listening history.
You can reset your device advertising ID at any time via your device settings (iOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking; Android: Settings → Privacy → Ads).
4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
