Cookie Policy
This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies HukProof uses on our website and app. In short: we use one strictly-necessary cookie to keep you signed in, and no advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
1. What cookies we use
| Cookie | Purpose | Type | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| Session (authentication) | Keeps you securely signed in and protects your session. Set by our authentication system. | Strictly necessary | Until you sign out or the session expires |
Strictly-necessary cookies do not require consent because the service cannot function without them. We do not set analytics, advertising, or social-media cookies, and we do not sell or share any information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
2. What we do not use
- No third-party advertising or retargeting cookies.
- No cross-site tracking or fingerprinting.
- No selling or “sharing” of personal data (as defined by the CCPA/CPRA).
3. Legal basis & consent
Because our only cookie is strictly necessary to deliver a service you request (staying signed in), we rely on that necessity rather than consent, consistent with the GDPR/ePrivacy rules and India’s DPDP Act. If we ever introduce non-essential cookies, we will ask for your consent first and provide controls to manage them.
4. Tracking within security-awareness simulations
Separately from website cookies, the simulated emails our customers send to their own employees may contain open-tracking pixels and unique links. That measurement is part of a customer’s own awareness campaign against their own workforce — it is not HukProof tracking you across the web. See our Acceptable Use Policy for the rules customers must follow.
5. Managing cookies & privacy signals
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, but blocking the session cookie will prevent you from signing in. Because we don’t use non-essential, advertising, or cross-site tracking cookies, there is nothing extra to opt out of, and browser “Do Not Track” or Global Privacy Control signals have no additional effect on our Service.
6. Changes & contact
We’ll update this policy if our cookie use changes. Questions? Email privacy@hukproof.com.
