Data controller
Citehub (citehub.net) is operated by Metin Esgin, who is the data controller for the processing described on this page. Contact: hello@citehub.net.
What we collect
Citehub has no user accounts, no forms and no payments. We do not ask you for your name, e-mail address or any other personal details, and we do not sell data. The only processing that happens when you visit is:
- Server logs — our hosting provider (Vercel) records technical request data such as IP address, browser type, requested page and time, used to deliver the site securely and to diagnose problems.
- Vercel Web Analytics — cookieless, aggregated page-view statistics (page, country, device type). No cookie is set and no individual visitor profile is built.
- Google Ads conversion and remarketing cookies — set ONLY if you choose “Accept all” in the cookie banner. They let us measure whether our advertising brought you here and show Citehub ads to people who visited before. Until you accept, Google receives no cookie data (Consent Mode default: denied).
The site stores the following on your device:
| Name | Purpose | Type | Storage | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| citehub_consent | Remembers your cookie choice so the banner is not shown again and your choice is applied on every visit. | Essential (no consent needed) | localStorage | 12 months, or until you clear site data |
| Google Ads cookies (e.g. _gcl_au, _gcl_aw, and related IDE / test cookies) | Advertising measurement (conversion tracking) and remarketing by Google Ads. | Advertising — requires your consent | Cookies set by Google on citehub.net and on Google domains | Set by Google; see Google’s current cookie documentation linked below |
How to change your choice
Use “Cookie Settings” in the footer of any page to reopen the banner and accept or reject non-essential cookies at any time. Rejecting stops Google Ads cookies immediately for this browser; to remove cookies already set, clear your browser’s site data for citehub.net.
Legal basis and your rights
For visitors in Türkiye, advertising cookies are used on the basis of your explicit consent under the Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK, Law No. 6698). For visitors in the EU/EEA, the legal basis is your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Server logs are processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in running the site securely.
You have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, to have it rectified or erased, to object to its processing, and to withdraw your consent at any time (withdrawal does not affect processing that took place before it). To exercise any of these rights, write to hello@citehub.net. You can also lodge a complaint with the Personal Data Protection Authority (Kişisel Verileri Koruma Kurulu) in Türkiye or, under the GDPR, with the supervisory authority of your country of residence.
Third parties
The services above are provided by Google (Google Ads, Google Tag) and Vercel. Each processes data under its own privacy policy:
