eSauti Cookie Policy

Effective date: 28 Feb, 2026
Last updated: 28 Feb, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Hachther Inc. doing business as eSauti (“eSauti”, “we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on *.sauti.com (the “Website”) and related pages/portals (the “Service”).

1) What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Cookies help websites remember your preferences, keep you signed in, enable core features, and measure performance.

We may also use similar technologies such as local storage, pixels, SDKs, and server-side logs (“similar technologies”). For simplicity, we refer to all of these as “cookies” in this policy.

2) Why we use cookies

We use cookies to:

  • Provide essential functionality (e.g., authentication, session security, navigation);
  • Improve performance and reliability (e.g., error monitoring and debugging);
  • Analyze usage (e.g., website traffic and engagement via analytics tools like Google Analytics);
  • Enable secure connections between the Website and the eSauti portal (e.g., sharing session context and preventing fraud).

3) Types of cookies we use

A) Strictly Necessary Cookies (Essential)

These cookies are required for the Website/Service to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as logging in or filling out forms.

Examples of what they do:

  • Keep you signed in (session cookies)
  • Protect against CSRF and other security attacks
  • Load balancing and request routing
  • Remember your cookie preferences (if you set them)

Typical cookie examples (placeholders — adjust to your actual implementation):

  • __Host-session / sessionid / auth_token (authentication/session)
  • csrf_token (security)
  • cookie_preferences (remembering your choices)

B) Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our Website (e.g., which pages are visited most, how users navigate). This helps us improve content, performance, and usability.

If you enable analytics, we may use Google Analytics (GA4).

Examples of data GA may collect:

  • pages viewed, session duration, clicks and navigation events
  • device and browser information
  • approximate location inferred from IP (depending on settings)

Typical GA cookies (examples — GA4 can vary):

  • _ga, _ga_<container_id> (analytics identifiers)

C) Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow enhanced functionality and personalization (e.g., remembering settings, language choice, or UI preferences).

Examples:

  • Language preferences (FR/EN)
  • UI preferences (theme, layout)
  • Persisting portal/website state

D) Security and Fraud-Prevention Cookies

These cookies help protect accounts, prevent abuse, and maintain platform integrity.

Examples:

  • Detect suspicious sign-in behavior
  • Rate limiting / bot protection indicators
  • Session integrity tokens

E) Cross-domain / Portal Linking Cookies (Website ↔ Portal)

Because eSauti may operate a public Website and a separate portal domain (e.g., www.esauti.com and app.esauti.com or tenant subdomains), we may use cookies to:

  • maintain secure authentication sessions;
  • support single sign-on flows;
  • share session context safely.

Important: Cross-domain cookies may be subject to browser restrictions (e.g., SameSite policies). We design these cookies to prioritize security (e.g., HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite settings).

4) Cookie duration

Cookies may be:

  • Session cookies (deleted when you close your browser), or
  • Persistent cookies (remain until they expire or you delete them).

We aim to minimize cookie lifetimes where feasible.

5) Managing your cookie preferences

A) Cookie banner / preferences (recommended)

If we present a cookie banner or preference center, you can choose which non-essential cookies to allow (e.g., analytics). Your choice may be stored in a cookie so we remember your preference.

B) Browser controls

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings, including blocking or deleting cookies. Note: blocking essential cookies may prevent parts of the Website/Service (like login) from working.

Useful browser options often include:

  • clear browsing data / cookies
  • block third-party cookies
  • site-specific cookie controls

6) Analytics tool controls (opt-out)

If we use Analytics tool, you can opt out by:

  • rejecting analytics in our cookie banner (if available), and/or
  • blocking cookies in your browser settings, and/or
  • using analytics tools opt-out options (where available).

7) Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. There is no uniform standard for interpreting DNT signals. We may not respond to DNT signals unless required by law.

8) Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Updates will be posted on our Website, and the “Last updated” date will reflect the latest version.
