Hutfin — Cookie Policy
Last Updated: September 17 2025
This Cookie Policy explains how Hutfin Global Technologies, Inc. (“Hutfin,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website www.hutfin.com, mobile apps, APIs, smart-contract integrations and related services (the “Platform”).
Your use of cookies is also subject to our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a site or use an app. They allow us to recognize your device, remember preferences, enhance functionality, and measure performance. We also use related technologies:
● Web Beacons / Pixel Tags: Transparent images used to monitor usage and campaign engagement.
● Local Storage & Flash Cookies: Persistent storage on your device for features like video playback or saved searches.
● SDKs / Mobile Identifiers: Used in our apps to deliver functionality, analytics and notifications.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
a) Strictly Necessary Cookies Required for core Platform functions such as account login, property listings, transaction security, and payment processing. Cannot be disabled.
b) Performance & Analytics Cookies Measure site traffic, CRE listing performance, property search activity, and Platform reliability. Help us debug errors, improve features, and optimize blockchain interactions. Providers include internal analytics, Google Analytics (where applicable), and others.
c) Functionality Cookies Remember your saved searches, preferred currency/language, property alerts, and brokerage account settings. Enhance user experience but not strictly required.
d) Advertising & Targeting Cookies Used to personalize ads/promotions (where allowed), prevent duplicate ads, and measure ad performance. May include cross-context behavioral advertising (subject to opt-outs under CCPA/CPRA, GDPR/UK GDPR, UAE PDPL, etc.). We may work with third-party partners where legally permitted.
e) Blockchain & On-Chain Tracking On-chain actions (NFTs, tokenized RWAs, wallet connections) are publicly logged on distributed ledgers. Immutable blockchain data is not technically deletable by Hutfin. While not a “cookie,” these records function as persistent identifiers.
3. How We Use Cookies
Provide and secure the Platform (fraud prevention, KYC/AML, account integrity).
Enable CRE marketplace features (listings, broker media, saved searches, leads).
Analyze performance and usage (page views, traffic patterns, app crashes).
Improve features and personalization (suggested listings, AI-assisted outputs).
Support blockchain interactions (wallet linking, transaction confirmation, metadata tracking).
Marketing & communications (if opted-in, promotional emails, social media campaigns).
Regulatory compliance (e.g., cookie consent banners in the EU/UK, UAE, India, etc.).
4. Third-Party Cookies & SDKs
Some cookies/SDKs come from trusted third parties, such as:
● Analytics Providers (e.g., Google Analytics, Mixpanel).
● Ad/Marketing Platforms (e.g., social networks, retargeting providers).
● Payment Providers (cookies for checkout/session validation).
● Cloud & Security Vendors (e.g., AWS, fraud-prevention services).
These providers may have their own privacy policies and cookie usage.
