1. What are cookies and similar technologies?

  • Cookies are small text files placed on your device to store data that can be read by a web server in the domain that placed the cookie.
  • Web beacons/pixels are small code snippets that load a tiny graphic or send a request to register that a page, email, or ad was viewed.
  • LocalStorage/SessionStorage and IndexedDB are browser storage technologies used to store data locally on your device.
  • SDKs (Software Development Kits) are libraries integrated into apps or sites that may perform similar functions.

We use these technologies to make the Sites function, secure them, remember your preferences, analyze usage, improve performance, and support marketing where permitted by law and your choices.

2. How we categorize cookies

We group cookies and similar technologies into the following categories:

  • Strictly Necessary (Essential): Required for our Sites to work (e.g., load balancing, security, session management, consent storage).
  • Functional: Enable site personalization and enhanced features (e.g., remembering preferences, chat widgets, embedded content).
  • Analytics & Performance: Help us understand how visitors use our Sites and measure performance (e.g., page views, referrers).
  • Advertising & Targeting: Help deliver relevant ads, limit ad frequency, and measure campaign effectiveness.
  • Security & Fraud Prevention: Detect, prevent, and investigate security incidents and abuse.

4. Managing your choices

  • Cookie Preferences: You can manage or withdraw your consent at any time: Manage Cookie Preferences
  • Browser settings: You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may affect site functionality.
  • Third‑party opt‑outs: Some third parties provide their own opt‑out mechanisms (e.g., Google Ads Settings, Network Advertising Initiative).
  • GPC: If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we will treat it as a request to opt out of sales/sharing where applicable.

- Third‑party providers may change their cookie names and retention; we strive to keep this table current.

7. “Selling” or “Sharing” (California)

If our use of advertising cookies or pixels constitutes “selling” or “sharing” personal information (as defined by the CPRA), California residents may opt out via: Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information and/or by adjusting Cookie Preferences . We do not knowingly “sell” personal information of consumers under 16 years of age.

8. International transfers

We may process and store information in countries outside your own, including outside the EEA/UK. Where we transfer personal data from the EEA/UK to a country that does not provide an adequate level of protection, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and the UK International Data Transfer Addendum (IDTA), as applicable.

9. Data retention

  • Cookie data is kept for the durations indicated above or as required to fulfill the purposes described.
  • Consent records (your choices) are typically retained for 6–12 months or as required by law.
  • Analytics reports are retained in aggregated form; raw event data may be kept for limited periods consistent with our configuration and legal requirements.

10. Children

Our Sites are not directed to children, and we do not knowingly place cookies to profile children. If you believe a child provided us information or we set non‑essential cookies in relation to a child, contact us at info@techbindsolutions.com so we can take appropriate action.

11. Third-party cookies and links

Our Sites may include links to third‑party sites, plugins, or embedded content that may set their own cookies. We do not control these third parties and are not responsible for their practices. Please review their cookie and privacy policies.
