Cookies and Tracking Policy

Effective draft: 1 August 2026. Final review by licensed Bahrain counsel is recommended.

1. What cookies are

Cookies and similar storage technologies are small data items used by a website or its service providers in a browser or device. They may be session-based or persistent and may be set by TECHTUKE or a third party.

2. Categories

• Strictly necessary: basket, checkout, account sign-in, language, security, network and consent-preference functions needed to provide a requested service.
• Preferences: optional settings that remember choices beyond what is necessary.
• Analytics: optional measurement of visits and use to improve the site.
• Marketing: optional tracking or audience tools used for promotional communications or advertising.

Necessary storage may operate without an optional marketing choice where it is required to deliver the service. Optional analytics and marketing should remain off until the visitor makes an informed choice.

3. Current inventory and owner action

The site uses WordPress/WooCommerce, TranslatePress and enabled ecommerce/payment functions that may set necessary cookies. Installed analytics, advertising, email-marketing and embedded-media tools must be verified in the live technical inventory before their optional tags are represented as active. The owner decision sheet requires approval of the provider-by-provider cookie table; this policy does not invent cookie names, durations or recipients.

4. Consent and control

Where consent is the basis, it must be freely given, specific, informed, explicit and recorded. The interface should offer an equally clear way to reject non-essential cookies and later change or withdraw the choice. Withdrawal does not affect processing already lawful before withdrawal.

Browser controls can also delete or block cookies, but blocking necessary cookies may prevent basket, account, language or checkout functions. Browser controls are not a substitute for TECHTUKE’s own consent control where consent is required.

5. Data and sharing

Cookie-related data may include IP address, browser/device information, page events, session identifiers and consent status. It is handled under the Privacy Policy and disclosed only to providers needed for the chosen or necessary function, subject to appropriate instructions and safeguards.

6. International processing and retention

Provider processing outside Bahrain must use a PDPL-permitted transfer mechanism. Cookie retention must be limited to the stated purpose. Exact durations and transfer locations will be published only after technical verification and owner approval.

7. Contact

Questions or withdrawal requests can be sent to support@techtuke.com. Direct-marketing objections will be honoured in accordance with Bahrain PDPL article 20.
