1. What Are Cookies and Web Identifiers?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device by websites that you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide security and preferences configuration. Local storage, session storage, and web beacons are similar technologies that store data on your client browser.

Session Cookies: Temporarily stored and deleted when the browser is closed.
Persistent Cookies: Remain on your device for a pre-defined period or until manually deleted.
First-Party Cookies: Set by huksonsit.com directly.
Third-Party Cookies: Set by external plugins or integrations (e.g. security challenge services).

2. Complete Cookie and Storage Inventory

We restrict cookie use to the absolute minimum required to safely and effectively operate our services. Below is a detailed inventory:

A. Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies & Storage

These identifiers are essential for technical reasons to enable website routing, security challenges, and store your layout and consent choices. They cannot be turned off.

Identifier	Type	Purpose	Duration	Provider
`cc`	Cookie	Stores your cookie consent selection (categories approved).	365 days	First-party
`a11y`	Local Storage	Stores accessibility customization settings (contrast/text size).	Persistent	First-party
`__next_f`	Cookie	Technical identifier used by Next.js for page fragment rendering.	Session	First-party
`cf-turnstile-token`	Local Storage	Cloudflare Turnstile token to verify you are a human, protecting forms from bot attacks.	Temporary	Cloudflare

B. Analytics & Performance (Cookieless by Design)

We do not set any tracking cookies or store identifiers on your device for web analytics. Instead, we use **Plausible Analytics**, a privacy-first utility.

Zero Cookies: Plausible does not set, read, or write any cookies on your device.
No Personal Tracking: Visitors are identified via a daily reset hash generated from the IP address and user-agent. This hash is rotated daily and salted, meaning you cannot be tracked across different days or different websites.
Data Protection: All analytics data is stored and hosted in Germany (European Union).

C. Marketing & Personalization Cookies (Consent Required)

These cookies allow us to track submissions to follow up on project queries and newsletters. They are **only** active if you explicitly click "Accept All" or enable them in our settings.

Identifier	Type	Purpose	Duration	Provider
`mautic_device_id`	Cookie	CRM identifier used to correlate form queries from the same user to prevent duplicate CRM listings.	14 days	First-party (Self-hosted)
`mtc_id`	Cookie	Mautic tracking contact identifier for email routing.	14 days	First-party (Self-hosted)

3. Global Privacy Control (GPC)

Our website is engineered to automatically detect and honor **Global Privacy Control (GPC)** signals sent by compatible browsers. If your browser broadcasts a GPC signal, we treat it as an automatic opt-out of marketing and personalization cookies, and will only load strictly necessary cookies.
