Essential cookies are necessary for IconHub to function. Without them, you won't be able to log in, your download count won't be tracked correctly, and plan gating won't work. By using IconHub, you consent to these cookies.
Functional cookies improve your experience by remembering your preferences. You can disable these in your browser settings without breaking core functionality.
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use IconHub. This helps us identify popular icons, improve search, and fix broken pages. All analytics data is aggregated — we cannot identify individual users from this data.
IconHub displays Google AdSense ads on the free tier to fund ongoing development. These ads may be personalised based on your browsing behaviour using Google's advertising cookies. Pro and Premium subscribers see fewer or no ads.
Some third-party services we use may set their own cookies. We do not control these cookies, and they are governed by the respective companies' privacy policies:
