1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember user preferences, and provide information to site owners.

This Cookies Policy explains what cookies Techpivo uses, why we use them, and how you can control them.

2. How We Use Cookies

• Remember your preferences: Language, theme, display settings, and other customizations

3. Types of Cookies We Use

3.1 Essential Cookies (Required)

These cookies are necessary for the Site to function properly. They enable core features such as account authentication, session management, and security.

These cookies cannot be disabled as they are essential for basic Site functionality.

3.2 Analytics Cookies (Optional)

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our Site by collecting and reporting information anonymously.

We use Google Analytics to analyze traffic patterns, identify popular content, detect technical issues, and measure overall site performance. Google Analytics does not collect personally identifiable information.

3.3 Advertising Cookies (Optional)

These cookies are used to deliver relevant advertisements and track ad campaign performance.

Google and its advertising partners use these cookies to:

• Serve ads based on your visits to Techpivo and other sites on the internet
• Limit the number of times you see an advertisement
• Measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns
• Remember that you visited Techpivo when you see relevant ads on other sites

3.4 Preference Cookies (Optional)

These cookies remember your choices and settings to provide a more personalized experience.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by third-party services that appear on our pages. We do not control these cookies. The main third parties are:

• Google Analytics: Traffic analysis and site performance measurement. Google's Privacy Policy.
• Google AdSense / DoubleClick: Personalized advertising and ad performance tracking. Google's Ads Settings.

5.3 Cookie Consent Banner

When you first visit Techpivo, our cookie consent banner allows you to:

• Accept all cookies
• Reject non-essential cookies

7. Do Not Track (DNT)

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting. There is currently no industry standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. Our Site does not currently change its behavior in response to DNT signals, but you can control tracking through the cookie management methods described above.
