Cookie Policy
Effective date: July 25, 2026 · Last updated: July 25, 2026
This legal policy is currently available in English only.
This Cookie Policy explains how Kotec LLC, trading as Kotec, uses cookies and similar technologies on https://www.kotec.co.
1. What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small text files stored on a device. Similar technologies may include local storage, tags, pixels, scripts, and identifiers. They can support essential website functions, remember preferences, and measure website use.
2. Categories used by Kotec
Strictly necessary and preference storage
These technologies support functions requested by the visitor, such as security, basic page operation, remembering your language preference, and storing your privacy choice. This category is always active, is limited to what is reasonably necessary for the Website to operate, and is not used for targeted advertising. Kotec uses first-party browser storage for these functions rather than third-party cookies.
Optional analytics
Kotec uses Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity to understand Website use and improve content and performance. These are optional, disabled by default, and load only after you accept optional analytics. Depending on configuration and consent, these services may use cookies or similar identifiers and may process technical, usage, interaction, approximate-location, and device information.
Microsoft Clarity may provide behavioral metrics, heatmaps, and session replay (recordings of interactions such as mouse movement, clicks, and scrolling), along with interaction and diagnostic information. Kotec does not use analytics information for targeted advertising.
3. Consent model
Kotec applies one global consent standard. Optional analytics are disabled by default until you accept analytics. Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity are not loaded and make no requests until you accept optional analytics. Rejecting optional analytics does not prevent access to normal Website content.
The Website provides:
- "Accept analytics";
- "Reject optional cookies";
- "Manage preferences"; and
- a persistent "Manage Cookie Preferences" control in the footer to reopen settings and withdraw or change consent.
4. Technologies register
Exact cookie names and durations set by third-party analytics providers may vary by their configuration and may change over time. The table below describes the technologies used and how their duration is determined.
| Provider | Purpose | Category | Typical data | Duration | Consent required |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kotec (first-party storage) | Language and privacy preferences | Strictly necessary / preference | Selected language and analytics consent status | Language preference persists until you change it; your analytics consent choice is stored for 12 months, after which you are asked again | No (strictly necessary) |
| Google Analytics 4 | Website measurement | Analytics (optional) | Usage, device, page, referral, and interaction data | Set by Google; varies by provider configuration | Yes |
| Microsoft Clarity | Behavioral analytics, heatmaps, session replay | Analytics (optional) | Usage and interaction data, device and page information | Set by Microsoft; varies by provider configuration | Yes |
Kotec does not currently use advertising cookies, marketing cookies, or advertising tags, and does not use Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, LinkedIn Insight Tag, or Meta Pixel on the Website.
5. Managing your choices
Use the Website's "Manage Cookie Preferences" control to accept, reject, or change your optional analytics choice at any time. Your analytics consent choice is stored for 12 months. You can also delete or block cookies through your browser settings, although doing so may reset your language or privacy preferences. Analytics scripts that were already loaded during a session may continue until the page is reloaded; disabling analytics prevents them from loading again.
6. Changes
Kotec may update this Cookie Policy when technologies or practices change. The updated version will show a revised "Last updated" date.
