Legal information

Cookie policy

This page explains technologies that may store or read information on your device when you visit the Hackni STICS website.

Last updated: 11 September 2026

1. Website operator

2. What cookies are

Cookies and similar technologies are small technical records that a website or its infrastructure may store in a browser. They can support essential operation, security, saved preferences or audience measurement.

3. What Hackni STICS uses

During the technical review carried out on 11 September 2026 after connecting hackni.stics.sk, the Hackni STICS application code did not activate analytics or marketing tools, create visitor profiles or store cookies to remember user preferences.
Cloudflare’s hosting and security infrastructure uses the strictly necessary __cf_bm security cookie. According to Cloudflare’s documentation, it supports bot protection and helps distinguish automated traffic from legitimate requests. It is not an analytics or marketing cookie.
  • Name: __cf_bm
  • Provider: Cloudflare, Inc.
  • Purpose: protecting the website against bots, automated abuse and malicious requests,
  • Category: strictly necessary security cookie,
  • Duration: approximately 30 minutes after the last activity,
  • Domain: hackni.stics.sk.

4. Consent and cookie banner

Section 109(8) of Slovak Act No. 452/2021 permits technologies that are strictly necessary to provide a service requested by the user without consent. Because the website used only the strictly necessary security cookie described above at the time of the latest review, it does not display a cookie consent banner.
If analytics, personalisation or marketing technologies are added later, they will not be activated before the relevant consent is given. Consent controls will be added and this policy updated before those technologies are deployed.

5. External services and links

When you open an external website, such as a future Google Forms registration form, that provider’s rules apply. Its cookies are not placed by the Hackni STICS page and their use may also depend on whether you are signed in to that service.

6. Browser controls

You can inspect, block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking essential technologies may affect website availability or security.

7. Provider processing and changes

When providing its security and hosting infrastructure, Cloudflare may process technical information outside the EU or EEA. Further details are available in Cloudflare’s Privacy Policy. Information about SAPIE’s related processing is provided in our Privacy policy.
Send questions to info@sapie.sk. We will review the technologies used particularly after adding an external service or making a material hosting change. If anything changes, we will revise this policy and publish a new update date.
