Privacy & Advertising

Last updated: July 14, 2026

ShadowHub is funded by advertising. Third-party advertising scripts may load automatically when you use the website.

Essential data

We use security cookies and short-lived session identifiers to operate key verification, prevent replay and bypass attempts, bind issued keys correctly, and protect administrative access.

First-party analytics

We record page, placement, experiment variant, provider funnel step, coarse device information, timestamps, and a one-way hashed network identifier. We use this information to compare performance and detect broken key flows. Raw keys, passwords and delivery tokens are not stored in monetization analytics.

Advertising providers

• Monetag: automatic popunder and MultiTag advertising, measured locally by placement and experiment variant.
• Adsterra: advertising reporting imported through the publisher statistics API.
• LootLabs: optional one-step rewarded key route; completion is confirmed by a signed server postback.
• Work.ink: optional two-step rewarded key route with provider confirmation.

These providers may process device, network and interaction information under their own privacy terms. Advertising availability and content can vary by country and device.

Frequency experiment

Visitors are assigned to a stable group that uses the provider default, one eligible popunder load per 24 hours, or two eligible loads per 24 hours. This assignment is stored locally so the same visitor remains in one comparison group.
