Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Techpam ("Techpam," "we," "us," or "our"), operated by [Techpam Inc. — legal entity name], uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit Techpam.site or use our related applications (collectively, the "Service"). It describes what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can control them.
This Policy is designed to comply with Quebec's Act Respecting the Protection of Personal Information in the Private Sector, as amended by Law 25, and Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act ("PIPEDA"). Techpam does not knowingly offer the Service to, or target, residents of the European Union, so this Policy does not address the EU's General Data Protection Regulation or ePrivacy Directive. This Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains more broadly how we handle personal information.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, make them work more efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide reporting information to the website operator. Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser ("session cookies"), while others remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them ("persistent cookies"). This Policy also covers similar technologies, such as local storage, that serve comparable purposes.
2. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
- Enabling essential functionality, such as keeping you logged in, remembering items in an active session, and maintaining the security of your account.
- Analyzing site performance and usage, so we can understand how the Service is used and improve it over time.
- Remembering your preferences and settings, such as display options, to enhance your experience.
Techpam does not currently use cookies to serve personalized or interest-based advertising, and we do not share cookie data with advertising networks for that purpose. If this changes in the future, we will update this Policy and obtain any consent required by law before doing so.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
| Category | Purpose | Can you disable it? |
|---|---|---|
| Essential cookies | Required for core functions such as logging in, session management, and account security. Without these, the Service will not work properly. | No — these are necessary for the Service to function. |
| Performance / analytics cookies | Help us understand how visitors interact with the Service (e.g., pages viewed, features used) so we can improve performance and usability. | Yes — you may decline these without losing access to core features. |
| Functional cookies | Remember choices you make (such as display or language preferences) to provide a more personalized experience. | Yes — declining these may reset certain preferences each visit. |
4. Consent to Non-Essential Cookies
Under Quebec's Law 25, before we use any technology that collects personal information through tracking, identification, or profiling — which includes performance and functional cookies — we must inform you, in clear and simple language, that such technology is in use and explain the options available to you to activate or deactivate it.
When you first visit the Service, we will present a cookie notice or settings tool that lets you accept or decline non-essential cookies (performance and functional cookies). Essential cookies do not require consent, as they are strictly necessary to provide the Service you have requested. You may change your preferences at any time through the cookie settings tool on the Site or through your browser, as described in Section 6.
5. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on the Service may be placed by third-party service providers who help us operate and analyze the Service, such as our website analytics provider. We do not control these third parties' own cookies or data practices; please review their respective privacy and cookie policies for more information. We enter into agreements with such providers requiring them to protect any personal information consistent with applicable Quebec and Canadian privacy law.
6. Managing Cookies
You can control and manage cookies in several ways:
- Using the cookie settings tool available on the Service (where offered), to accept or decline non-essential cookies.
- Adjusting your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Most browsers let you refuse all cookies, refuse only third-party cookies, or delete existing cookies — consult your browser's help documentation for instructions.
- Where applicable, using any opt-out mechanism provided directly by a third-party analytics provider.
Please note that blocking or deleting essential cookies may prevent parts of the Service — such as logging in or maintaining your session — from working properly.
7. How Long Cookies Last
Session cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period (typically no longer than [Insert retention period, e.g., 12 months]) or until you delete them manually, whichever comes first.
8. Language
Techpam residents of Quebec may request a French-language version of this Cookie Policy at any time, in accordance with the Charter of the French Language, by contacting us using the details in Section 10.
Les résidents du Québec peuvent demander une version française de la présente politique en tout temps, conformément à la Charte de la langue française, en communiquant avec nous aux coordonnées indiquées à la section 10.
9. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our practices. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date, and for material changes, we will provide reasonable advance notice, such as through the cookie settings tool or an in-product notice.
