1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that websites store on the user's device. They can be used for various purposes, including the technical operation of the site, maintaining login sessions and storing preferences.

2. Cookies Used by HEX

HEX uses only strictly necessary technical cookies for the operation of the Service. It does not use profiling, advertising or third-party tracking cookies.

Cookie Type Duration Origin Purpose
sessionid Technical Session HEX (first party) Maintains the user's authentication session after login.
csrftoken Technical / Security Session HEX (first party) Protection against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks.
django_language Technical / Preference Persistent HEX (first party) Stores the user's preferred language (Italian/English).
theme Technical / Preference Persistent HEX (first party) Stores the light/dark theme preference.
Google OAuth cookies Technical (strictly necessary) Session Google (third party) Required to complete the authentication process via Google Login. Set only during the login flow.

3. Cookie Banner

Since HEX uses only strictly necessary technical cookies for the operation of the Service, prior user consent is not required under the ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC), the Italian Data Protection Authority Guidelines of 10 June 2021, and Art. 45c of the Swiss Telecommunications Act. Therefore, no cookie banner is displayed.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Cookies set by Google during the OAuth authentication flow are considered "strictly necessary" under applicable regulations, as they are explicitly requested by the user to access the Service. Google processes such cookies in accordance with its own privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy).

5. Managing Cookies

You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling technical cookies may prevent the Service from functioning correctly, particularly authentication and navigation.

6. Tracking Technologies NOT Used

For transparency, HEX confirms that it does NOT use:

  • Profiling or advertising cookies.
  • Tracking pixels.
  • Browser or device fingerprinting.
  • Local Storage or Session Storage for tracking purposes (Local Storage is used exclusively for user interface filter preferences).
  • Cross-site or cross-device tracking.

7. Updates

This Cookie Policy may be updated to reflect technical or regulatory changes. The date of the last update is indicated at the top of this document.
