1. What Are Cookies & Local Storage?
Cookies and local storage tokens are small text fragments and cryptographic indicators placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile browser when you visit websites. They allow web platforms to remember your session state, authenticate administrative interactions, and maintain user preferences across page navigations.
Hillasian Tech Solutions believes in privacy by design. We do not deploy intrusive third-party cross-site trackers, nor do we sell advertising telemetry.
2. Categories of Cookies We Deploy
A. Strictly Necessary Cookies (Essential)
These tokens are indispensable for the core operation of our platform:
hillasian_session: Maintains your secure session state, form wizard progress (such as multi-step project estimators), and temporary flash notifications.XSRF-TOKEN: A cryptographic security token designed to prevent Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) exploits and protect form submissions.- Admin Auth Tokens: Used exclusively by authorized personnel to access the administrative dashboard and management consoles.
B. Functional & Preference Cookies
These items retain your customized browsing preferences to ensure a frictionless experience:
hill_theme: Records your customized UI palette selection (e.g. Cyber AI, Enterprise Minimal, Fintech, High-Tech Dark).currency_code: Stores your active transactional currency preference (such asINR,USD,EUR,GBP) so budget estimators display values in your chosen denomination.
C. Performance & Security Telemetry
- Edge Analytics & Rate Limiting: We leverage Cloudflare and edge proxies that set minimal security cookies (such as
__cf_bm) to distinguish legitimate human traffic from automated botnets and malicious scrapers. - Anonymized Aggregates: Diagnostic load-time telemetry designed to optimize First Contentful Paint (FCP) and Core Web Vitals without storing Personally Identifiable Information (PII).
