Cookie Policy
Last Updated: July 12, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how HenFlux ("we", "us", or "our"), accessible from https://henflux.org, uses cookies and similar local storage technologies when you visit our website. We are committed to being transparent about our use of these technologies so you can make informed decisions about your browsing experience.
1. 1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide reporting information to site owners.
In addition to cookies, HenFlux also uses localStorage — a browser-based storage mechanism that allows websites to store key-value pairs locally on your device. Unlike cookies, localStorage data is not automatically sent to the server with every HTTP request, making it a more privacy-friendly option for storing user preferences.
2. 2. How We Use Cookies & Local Storage
HenFlux uses only essential first-party cookies and localStorage entries to deliver a functional, personalized user experience. We categorize our usage as follows:
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
theme |
localStorage | Stores your selected interface theme (dark or light mode) to maintain your visual preference across sessions. | Persistent |
PHPSESSID |
Cookie | Standard PHP session identifier used for CSRF token validation on form submissions. Contains no personal data. | Session (cleared when browser closes) |
csrf_token |
Cookie | Security token that prevents Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks on form submissions (e.g., contact form). | Session (cleared when browser closes) |
3. 3. Cookies We Do NOT Use
HenFlux is committed to a minimal-tracking philosophy. We do NOT use:
- Third-party analytics or tracking cookies (e.g., Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar)
- Advertising retargeting or behavioral profiling cookies
- Social media integration cookies that share your browsing data with third-party platforms
- Cross-site tracking technologies or fingerprinting scripts
4. 4. Third-Party Advertising Cookies
To support the free operation of our platform, HenFlux may display advertisements served by trusted third-party ad networks. These networks may place their own cookies on your device to serve relevant advertisements and measure ad performance. These cookies are governed by the respective third party's privacy policy, not ours. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance's opt-out page (optout.aboutads.info) or your browser's privacy settings.
5. 5. How to Manage or Delete Cookies
You have full control over cookies stored on your device. Most web browsers allow you to view, manage, block, and delete cookies through their settings menu. Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of certain features (such as theme persistence and CSRF-protected form submissions).
To clear localStorage data used by HenFlux, open your browser's Developer Tools (usually F12), navigate to the Application or Storage tab, and clear the localStorage entries for henflux.org.
6. 6. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to check this page periodically for the latest information on our cookie practices.
