This policy explains how TechPeak Solutions GmbH uses cookies and similar technologies on this website, what each category does, and how you can control them. It should be read together with our privacy policy.
What this page covers: the cookie categories in use, what each one does, how long it stays, and how you change or withdraw your choice at any time.
Term
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device and reads on later visits. They allow a site to remember information between page requests, such as your preferences or the state of a session. Similar technologies, including local storage, work in comparable ways and are covered by this policy.
That memory is what keeps a session from resetting on every click, and it is also what lets a site recognise a returning visitor. It matters to know that a cookie is not a program. It cannot run code, read other files on your device, or reach into other websites — it only carries the small piece of information the site itself placed there. Where a cookie is set, it belongs to a domain, and that domain determines which site may read it again.
On techpeak.digital we keep the number of cookies low and the categories narrow, so each one can be explained in plain language. The categories below describe every kind of cookie you can encounter on this site.
Categories
Every cookie in use falls into one of the three categories below. Strictly necessary cookies are always active because the site cannot serve a page without them. Everything else waits until you agree.
These cookies are required for the website to function and cannot be switched off through the consent control. They support basic features such as page navigation, session handling, and the security of form submissions. Without them, parts of the site would not work.
Set by us
No consent required
Session lifetime
Preference cookies remember choices you have made, such as your language or cookie consent selection, so you do not have to set them again on your next visit. They do not track your activity across other websites, and they carry the value of a choice rather than a history of browsing.
Set by us
Remembers your choice
Up to twelve months
Where analytics cookies are used, they help us understand which pages are visited and how visitors move through the site. We use this information to improve the structure and content of the site. Analytics cookies are set only with your consent, and you can withdraw that consent at any time.
Set by us
Withdrawn anytime
Up to fourteen months
The lifetimes above describe the maximum a cookie stays on your device. Deleting cookies in your browser removes them earlier, at any time you choose.
Control
Two controls decide what runs: the consent panel on this site, and the settings inside your own browser.
You can change or withdraw your cookie consent at any time using the consent control on this site. Reopening the panel shows the same categories you saw on your first visit, with your current choice already marked. Turning analytics off takes effect immediately: no further measurement is collected from your browser under that choice.
You can also configure your browser to block or delete cookies, though blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how the site works. Instructions are available in the help section of your browser, and most browsers let you review what is currently stored per site, delete individual entries, and set exceptions for domains you trust.
If you set a private or incognito window to block all cookies, our consent panel may ask for your choice on each visit instead of remembering it.
Third parties
Some pages may embed content from third-party services. Where such content sets its own cookies, those cookies are controlled by the third party and governed by its own policy. We limit embedded third-party content to what is needed for the page to serve its purpose. An embedded player or map loads only on the page that needs it — never as a permanent layer — and if an embed is refused, the page still works.
Who operates the embed
The service name appears in the embed itself or in the frame around it, and that operator is responsible for the cookies it sets.
What it will remember
Playback state, a session token, or a preference — the operator's own policy lists the categories.
How to read its policy
The link sits inside the embed or its surrounding page; our own policy stops where the third party's begins.
How to decline
Refusing consent never closes a page — the rest of the content stays readable.
Changes to this policy
Current version on this page
We update this policy when the cookies used on this site change or when legal requirements change. The current version is always available on this page. When the substance of a category changes — a new kind of cookie, a new provider, a different lifetime — we revise the section it appears in and publish the new version here rather than adding a note at the bottom.
If you want to be sure which version applies to you, read the date under the page heading. It reflects the last time this text was revised.
