Cookie Policy
A plain-language summary of the small text files we use to recognise your browser, keep you signed in, and quietly improve our products — and how to control them at any time.
01Introduction
We respect your concerns about privacy and value the relationship that we have with you. We use technology on our website to collect information that helps us enhance your experience and our products and services. This Policy outlines the way Hackning Technologies Private Limited (“Hackning”), its partners, and users of its services deploy cookies — as well as the options you have to control them.
02What are cookies and other tracking technologies?
Cookies are small text files which a website may put on your computer or mobile device when you visit a site or page. The other tracking technologies work similarly to cookies and place small data files on your devices or monitor your website activity to enable us to collect information about how you use our sites. This allows our sites to recognize your device from those of other users of the sites. Hackning may use this data to analyze trends and statistics and to help us provide better customer service. Please see our Privacy Policy to know more about how we collect and use your information.
03How do our sites use cookies and other tracking technologies?
Hackning uses cookies and other tracking technologies across its websites to improve their performance and enhance the user experience. At times, we may seek to place a cookie on your device that allows the server to recognize the device when it visits again, in order to track statistical information about navigation to and throughout certain areas of our website, and to recognise Hackning promotions on other websites. The information tracked by such a cookie is used only for internal purposes — such as to improve website navigation and to measure the effectiveness of our promotional placements.
To administer our sites and for research purposes, we have contracted with third-party service providers to track and analyse statistical usage and volume information from our site users. These third-party service providers use persistent cookies to help us to improve the user experience, manage our site content, and analyse how users navigate and utilize the sites.
04Cookie classification
Generally, cookies on our websites are in the following categories:
4.1 Strictly necessary cookies
We use these cookies to uniquely identify users. We provide one unique token after you access our app — “hkn_auth_token” — and each time after signing in — “getin_uid”. These tokens are used to uniquely identify users and to fetch a user’s private or public features. You can’t use our services if you try to disable one of these cookies.
The two tokens above are the only strictly necessary identifiers we set. They contain a session identifier and nothing more — no profile, behaviour, or device data is embedded in them.
05Phishing attacks
We would like to caution our visitors about phishing attacks, wherein unscrupulous third parties seek to extract sensitive and confidential information from you by posing as a genuine website or by sending an email misrepresenting it to be from a genuine source. Please be aware that we never seek sensitive or confidential information such as your financial or health record through emails or through our websites. If you receive such a message claiming to be from Hackning, please do not reply to it and immediately bring it to our attention by contacting us using the email address in the Contact section below.
06Antispam policy
Hackning recognizes the receipt, transmission, or distribution of spam emails (unsolicited bulk emails) as a major concern, and has taken reasonable measures to minimize the transmission and effect of spam emails in its computing environment. All emails received by Hackning are subject to spam checks. Hackning reserves the right to reject and/or report any suspicious spam emails to the authorities concerned for necessary action, from time to time.
