Introduction
This policy explains which cookies and similar technologies OWQLO Hub (hereinafter, "the Site") uses, for what purpose, for how long, and how you can manage them.
This policy is part of our Privacy Policy. If you have questions, write to legal@owqlo.com.
1. What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in your browser when you visit. It is used to remember information about your visit, such as your preferred language or other settings, which can make your next visit easier and the site more useful to you.
Alongside cookies we may use other technologies such as localStorage or sessionStorage, which serve similar purposes and are subject to the same rules described here.
2. What cookies do we use?
OWQLO Hub keeps the number of cookies to the minimum necessary. At the time this policy is written, the Site:
- Does NOT use marketing cookies or behavioural advertising.
- Does NOT use third-party analytics cookies (Google Analytics, PostHog, etc.) on the public Hub domain. When activated, we will inform you and request prior consent where required.
- Does NOT load tracking pixels from social networks.
- DOES use a strictly necessary language preference cookie to remember the language in which you prefer to view the Site between visits.
3. Active cookies
This is the exhaustive list of cookies the Site may set in your browser at this time:
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration | Category |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NEXT_LOCALE | owqlo.com (first-party) | Remembers your preferred language (ES/EN) so the Site loads in that language on subsequent visits. | 1 year | Necessary |
4. Third-party services
The Site loads resources from the following third parties. At the time this policy is written, none of them sets cookies on their CDN or tracks the user beyond the standard HTTP request required to serve the resource:
- Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com, fonts.gstatic.com): supplies the Space Grotesk typeface. Google states that requests to these endpoints contain no cookies and are logged anonymously.
- Unsplash (images.unsplash.com): supplies editorial images that serve as placeholders while we deploy our own content. Requests to its CDN do not set persistent cookies.
- Firebase App Hosting (Google Cloud, infrastructure): hosts the Site. The infrastructure may receive standard technical headers on each HTTP request, but does not set tracking cookies in the Hub visitor's browser.
5. Analytics and future services
We plan to integrate analytics tools (PostHog, Google Analytics 4) to understand Site usage and improve the product. When we do:
- We will display a consent banner on first access and will not activate these cookies until you give explicit permission.
- This policy will be updated to list each analytics cookie, its provider, purpose and duration.
- You will be able to review and change your consent at any time from a permanent link in the footer.
- We will never use analytics without prior consent, in line with the GDPR and the EU ePrivacy Directive.
6. How to manage or disable cookies
You can accept, refuse or delete cookies at any time from your browser settings. Refusing the technical language cookie does not prevent using the Site, but your language preference will not be remembered between visits.

7. Changes to this policy
