HUTKA SA (“we,” “our,” or “us”) utilizes cookies and similar tracking technologies across our digital infrastructure to ensure security, enhance functionality, and analyze institutional traffic. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, the specific types we deploy on our website (hutka-sa.com), and your rights regarding the management of these technologies.

This policy should be read in conjunction with our Corporate Privacy Policy, which details how we protect and process the data collected.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small encrypted text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) by the websites that you visit. In a corporate environment, they are widely used to make websites function securely, operate more efficiently, and provide diagnostic information to the owners of the site. They cannot be used to execute code or deliver viruses to your computer.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

To provide a resilient and highly secure digital experience, HUTKA SA categorizes its cookies into the following operational tiers:

• Strictly Necessary (Security) Cookies: These are essential for the site to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging into secured corporate portals, or filling in forms. They also protect against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks.
• Performance & Analytics Cookies: These allow us to count visits and institutional traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us identify which pages (such as strategic mineral insights or investor relations) are the most and least popular, and see how visitors move around the site.
• Functional Cookies: These enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your region, preferred language, and specific accessibility settings.

4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You maintain full control over your browser’s cookie settings. Upon your first visit to the HUTKA SA website, you were presented with a Cookie Banner allowing you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can amend these preferences at any time.

Furthermore, most modern web browsers allow you to manage cookies directly through their settings menus. You can configure your browser to block all cookies, accept only first-party cookies, or delete cookies upon closing your session. Please note that disabling Strictly Necessary Cookies may prevent certain secure elements of our corporate site from functioning correctly.

5. Policy Updates

HUTKA SA reserves the right to update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in global technology, compliance regulations, or our digital operations. Any significant revisions will be clearly communicated via a revised “Last Updated” date at the top of this document.
