When you visit HackerDNA, small text files called cookies are placed on your device by your browser. These files allow our servers to recognize your session, remember your preferences, and deliver the experience you expect from the platform. All cookies on HackerDNA are first-party - no third-party cookies are set on your device. This policy explains what our cookies do, why we use them, and how you can manage your choices.
All cookies on HackerDNA are strictly necessary for the platform to function and cannot be disabled. Without them, core features such as logging in, staying authenticated as you navigate between pages, and loading content in your preferred language would not work. They also handle conveniences tied to the core experience - pre-filling your email on the login form, enabling one-click login from email links, redirecting you back to the page you were viewing before signing in, preserving the state of our live chat widget, and recording how you found the platform so we can build your profile when you register. Infrastructure cookies set by our hosting provider to route your requests to the correct server are also included. These cookies are set by HackerDNA, are not shared with third parties, do not track your activity across other websites, and are deleted when your session ends or after a short period.
You can manage cookies at any time through your browser's privacy or security settings. Most modern browsers let you block or delete specific cookies, or refuse all cookies entirely. Please note that blocking essential cookies may prevent the platform from functioning correctly.
If you have any questions about how we use cookies, or if you would like more information about the specific technologies described in this policy, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at [email protected].
