This Cookie Policy explains how TechnowayIT uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on technowayit.com. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides full details of how we handle your personal data.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to website owners about how their sites are used.
Similar technologies include web beacons (tiny image files embedded in web pages or emails), pixels, and local storage — these work in a comparable way to cookies and are covered by this policy.
2. Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be disabled. They do not store any personally identifiable information.

| wordpress_logged_in_* | Identifies authenticated WordPress users (admin only) | Session |
| wp-settings-* | Stores WordPress user interface preferences for logged-in administrators | 1 year |
Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website — which pages are most visited, where visitors come from, and how long they stay. This information is used in aggregate and does not identify individual users. We use this data to improve our content and user experience.
| Cookie Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |

Functional Cookies
These cookies remember your preferences and settings to provide an enhanced experience on return visits. Disabling them may affect certain website features.

| tw_cookie_consent | Records your cookie consent preference so we do not show the banner on every visit | 1 year |
Marketing and Third-Party Cookies
Currently, technowayit.com does not use advertising cookies or retargeting pixels. If this changes, this policy will be updated and your consent will be sought before any such cookies are placed.
3. How We Obtain Your Consent
When you first visit technowayit.com, a cookie consent banner is displayed. Strictly necessary cookies are placed immediately as they are required for the website to function. Analytics and functional cookies are only placed after you click “Accept All” or provide specific consent. You can withdraw or modify your consent at any time using the preference link in the footer of our website.
4. How to Control Cookies
In addition to our on-site controls, you can manage cookies through your browser settings. All major browsers allow you to view, block, and delete cookies:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
Please note that blocking all cookies will affect the functionality of most websites, including technowayit.com. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled via our consent tool — they must be managed through your browser.
To opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
5. Do Not Track
Some browsers include a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not wish to be tracked. There is currently no universally accepted technical standard for responding to DNT signals. Our website does not respond differently to DNT browser settings at this time.
6. Cookies and Personal Data
Some cookies may process data that is considered personal under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (such as IP addresses or device identifiers). Where this is the case, processing is governed by our Privacy Policy. Analytics data collected via cookies is anonymised and aggregated before we review it.
7. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies changes or in response to changes in law. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. We recommend reviewing this page periodically.
8. Contact
