1. Scope

This Cookie Policy describes the cookies and similar technologies actually used by HOTTRIX CHAT (the "Service"). It only lists technologies that genuinely exist in the Service today.

2. Essential / Session Cookie

The Service sets a single essential session cookie (commonly named PHPSESSID) when you log in. This cookie:

• Is strictly necessary to keep you signed in and to identify your session securely between page loads;
• Is set with the HttpOnly attribute (not readable by page scripts) and a SameSite restriction to reduce cross-site request risks, and with the Secure attribute when the Service is accessed over HTTPS;
• Is deleted when you log out, and expires when your browser session ends.

Because this cookie is strictly necessary for the Service to function (you cannot stay logged in without it), it is not subject to an opt-out.

3. No Analytics or Advertising Cookies

The Service does not use analytics cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party tracking cookies. If this changes in the future, this Policy will be updated before any such technology is introduced, and a new version will be published for review.

4. No Other Client-Side Storage

The Service does not use browser local storage or similar mechanisms to track you across visits.

5. Third-Party Cookies

The Service does not embed third-party advertising or analytics scripts that would set third-party cookies in your browser.

6. Changes to This Policy

This Policy may be updated if the cookies or technologies actually used by the Service change. Contact Hottrix IT Services Private Limited at info@hottrix.in with any questions.
