Cookie Policy
Last updated: July 8, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how techyworks (“we”, “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on techyworks.online (the “Service”). It supplements our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored in your browser when you visit a website. We also use similar local storage technologies (such as localStorage) to remember your preferences. Cookies are not used to read your PDF files — your documents are processed entirely in your browser and are never uploaded to our servers.
How we ask for your consent
On your first visit, the site shows a banner to accept or reject non-essential cookies. Your choice is stored in localStorage under the key tw_cookie_consent as either granted or denied. We apply your choice through Google Consent Mode v2 for advertising and analytics — non-essential Google cookies are not activated until you consent.
You can change your choice later by clearing this site’s data in your browser settings (see below). The banner will appear again on your next visit.
Types of cookies we use
- Strictly necessary: required for the site to work securely — e.g. Laravel session and CSRF protection.
- Preferences: remembers your chosen language (English or Arabic).
- Analytics: activated only with your consent — Google Analytics to understand how the site is used.
- Advertising: activated only with your consent — Google AdSense to display ads that keep the Service free.
