Cookie Policy

Last updated: February 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how HDE (HDetailEnterprise), located at bul. "Dunav" #1, Plovdiv, Bulgaria, uses cookies and similar technologies on the Platform at hde.dev. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites function correctly, to improve efficiency, and to provide information to site operators. Local storage is a similar browser-based technology that allows websites to store data on your device.

2. Cookies We Use

The HDE Platform uses only essential cookies that are strictly necessary for the operation of the website. We do not use any tracking, advertising, analytics, or third-party marketing cookies.

2.1 Authentication Session Cookie

Name: next-auth.session-token. Purpose: Maintains your authenticated session after you log in. This cookie contains a signed JSON Web Token (JWT) that identifies your account. Type: Essential, HTTP-only, Secure (in production). Duration: Session-based (expires when you close your browser or after the session timeout).

2.2 CSRF Protection Cookie

Name: next-auth.csrf-token. Purpose: Protects against cross-site request forgery attacks on authentication forms. Type: Essential. Duration: Session-based.

2.3 Authentication Callback Cookie

Name: next-auth.callback-url. Purpose: Stores the redirect URL during the authentication flow so you are returned to the correct page after login. Type: Essential. Duration: Session-based.

2.4 Language Preference Cookie

Name: NEXT_LOCALE. Purpose: Stores your preferred language (English or Bulgarian) so the Platform displays content in your chosen language. Type: Functional, essential for bilingual operation. Duration: Persistent.

3. Local Storage Items

In addition to cookies, the Platform uses browser local storage for the following purposes. These are not cookies under the ePrivacy Directive but are disclosed here for transparency:

  • hde-theme: Stores your selected visual theme preference (e.g., dark-pro, light-pro, or a custom theme identifier). This is necessary for rendering the interface in your chosen appearance.
  • hde-cart: Stores shopping cart contents for guest (unauthenticated) users. This data is synchronised to the server when you log in and is cleared from local storage after synchronisation.
  • hde_cookie_consent: Records your acknowledgement of this Cookie Policy so the information banner is not shown repeatedly.

4. Third-Party Cookies

The Platform does not currently load any third-party cookies. No analytics services (such as Google Analytics), advertising networks, or social media tracking pixels are used. If third-party services are introduced in the future (such as Stripe for payment processing), any new cookies will be disclosed in an updated version of this policy, and consent will be obtained where required by law.

5. Consent

Under the EU ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC) and its Bulgarian transposition, strictly necessary cookies do not require user consent. Since all cookies used by the Platform are essential for its basic functionality (authentication, security, language preference), we are not required to obtain consent before setting them. If we introduce non-essential cookies in the future (for example, analytics), we will implement a consent mechanism allowing you to opt in or opt out before such cookies are placed.

6. How to Manage Cookies

You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. However, please be aware that disabling essential cookies will prevent you from logging in and using authenticated features of the Platform. Instructions for managing cookies vary by browser. Consult your browser's help documentation for guidance.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Material changes will be communicated through the Platform.
