Cookies Policy

Last updated: 2024

This Cookies Policy explains how Hineli ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies on our website. It is intended to comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018, and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), as enforced in the United Kingdom by the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

We take a minimal approach to cookies. This policy tells you exactly what we set, why, and how you can control it.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow a site to remember your actions or preferences over time. Cookies can be "session" cookies, which expire when you close your browser, or "persistent" cookies, which remain on your device for a set period.

2. The Only Cookie We Set

Hineli's website sets exactly one cookie. We do not use any other cookie, tracking pixel, or similar technology on the general pages of our site.

Cookie Name Purpose Duration Type
consent_ok Stores your cookie consent choice so that we do not ask you again on every visit 1 year Essential (strictly necessary)

We do not run any analytics service on this site. We do not set Google Analytics cookies, _ga or _gid cookies, Yandex or VK tracking cookies, session identifiers, or CSRF tokens. No such cookies exist on our website, and this policy does not claim otherwise.

3. Essential vs Optional Cookies

Under PECR, cookies are generally divided into two categories:

The consent_ok cookie is an essential cookie: its sole purpose is to record and honour the consent decision you make through our cookie banner. It does not track your browsing behaviour, does not profile you, and is not used for advertising.

4. Advertising Measurement Cookies

We do not run advertising measurement cookies across the general website. Advertising measurement technology is activated only in one specific location: the confirmation page shown after you submit a form to us, and only if you have given your consent through our cookie banner beforehand.

If you decline consent, no advertising measurement technology is loaded, on the confirmation page or anywhere else on the site. If you accept, the advertising measurement cookie is scoped strictly to that confirmation page and its stated purpose, which is to measure the effectiveness of the referral that brought you to our site.

We do not control third-party advertising cookies beyond enabling or disabling them based on your consent status. We do not share the consent_ok cookie or its contents with any third party.

5. How to Change or Withdraw Your Consent

You have full control over your consent choice at any time:

6. Your Rights Under UK Law

As a UK-based visitor, you have rights under the UK GDPR and PECR, including the right to withdraw consent at any time, the right to be informed about how cookies are used, and the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) if you believe your rights have been infringed.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
