Cookie Policy

As many other websites on the internet, our website uses cookies to maintain the best possible user experience. Tehnif Software comply with European Legislation (EU Privacy Law) regarding website cookies. A message appears on our website pages to inform you that we place cookies. This message provides a link to this page which inform you about the cookies that our websites place and how you can disable and/or remove them.  If you close this message, or if you continue to use this site, we assume that you consent to our use of cookies on this device, unless you have disable them.  If you do disable our cookies you may find that certain sections of our website do not work. For example, you may have difficulties logging in or viewing pages.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files which a website may put on your computer or mobile device when you first visit a site or page. The cookie will help the website, or another website, to recognise your device the next time you visit. Web beacons or other similar files can also do the same thing. We use the term “cookies” in this policy to refer to all files that collect information in this way. There are many functions cookies serve. For example, they can help us to remember your username and preferences, analyse how well our website is performing, or even allow us to recommend content we believe will be most relevant to you. Certain cookies contain personal information – for example, if you click to “remember me” when logging in, a cookie will store your username. Most cookies won’t collect information that identifies you, and will instead collect more general information such as how users arrive at and use our websites, or a user’s general location. If you do disable our cookies you may find that certain sections of our website do not work. For example, you may have difficulties logging in or viewing pages.

What sort of cookies does the tehnif.com website use?

We utilise other cookies to analyse how our visitors use our websites and to monitor website performance. This allows us to provide a high quality experience by customising our offering and quickly identifying and fixing any issues that arise. For example, we might use performance cookies to keep track of which pages are most popular, which method of linking between pages is most effective, and to determine why some pages are receiving error messages. We might also use these cookies to highlight articles or site services that we think will be of interest to you based on your usage of the website.

We use functionality cookies to allow us to remember your preferences. For example, cookies save you the trouble of typing in your username every time you access the site. We also use functionality cookies to provide you with enhanced services such as allowing you to watch a video online or comment on a blog.

How To Control Your Cookies

Please remember that any settings you change will not just affect cookies placed from visiting websites owned by Tehnif Software. These changes will apply to all websites that you visit (unless you choose to block cookies from particular sites).

Managing cookies in your browser

Most modern browsers will allow you to:

  • See what cookies you’ve got and delete them on an individual basis.

  • Block third party cookies.

  • Block cookies from particular sites.

  • Block all cookies from being set.

  • Delete all cookies when you close your browser.

You should be aware that if you block cookies completely many websites will not work properly and some functionality on these websites will not work at all. If you are primarily concerned about third party cookies generated by advertisers, you can turn these off separately. This is discussed in more detail below. The links below take you to the ‘Help’ sections for each of the major browsers so that you can find out more about how to manage your cookies.
