INTRODUCTION
This Cookies Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are, the types of cookies used on Techwest Agency Inc.’s websites and services (collectively, the “Website”), why we use them, the legal bases that apply, how long we retain cookie data, and how you can manage or refuse cookies. This Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
WHAT ARE COOKIES
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, mobile) when you visit websites. Cookies can be used for many purposes including making the Website work, remembering your preferences, measuring Website usage, and delivering targeted advertising. Some cookies can be used to identify you directly or indirectly and therefore may be treated as personal data under applicable privacy laws.
COOKIE CATEGORIES WE USE
We group cookies into the categories below. A complete, up-to-date list of the specific cookie names, vendors and retention periods is available in our Cookie Declaration (link provided on the Website).
3.1 Strictly necessary / essential cookies
- Purpose: Required to operate the Website (for example: session management, authentication, security, load balancing).
- Administered by: Techwest Agency Inc.
- Legal basis: These cookies are strictly necessary to provide requested services and, where local law allows, are exempt from consent requirements. They cannot be disabled without affecting the Website’s functionality.
3.2 Preference / functionality cookies
- Purpose: Remember your choices and preferences (e.g., language, region, accessibility settings) so the Website behaves according to your preferences.
- Administered by: Techwest Agency Inc. or trusted third parties.
- Legal basis: Consent or legitimate interest depending on jurisdiction; we recommend obtaining consent for clarity.
3.3 Analytics / performance cookies
- Purpose: Measure and analyze traffic, pages visited, errors, and other performance metrics to improve the Website.
- Administered by: Third-party analytics providers.
- Legal basis: In many jurisdictions (for example EU/EEA/UK) we rely on prior, informed consent for analytics cookies.
3.4 Marketing / advertising / tracking cookies
- Purpose: Build user profiles, deliver personalized advertising, measure campaign performance, and prevent fraud.
- Administered by: Third parties (advertising networks, social platforms).
- Legal basis: Prior informed consent is required in many jurisdictions for profiling and targeted advertising. In certain U.S. states (e.g., California) additional disclosure and opt-out mechanisms may apply where cookie data is “sold” or “shared.”
HOW WE OBTAIN AND RECORD CONSENT
On first visit the Website will present a cookie banner and a cookie preference center that: (a) explains cookie categories and purposes in plain language; (b) lists third-party vendors where possible; (c) allows granular accept/reject choices by category; and (d) stores your preferences in a consent record tied to your device and account (where applicable). Consent records include a timestamp and versioning information for auditability. You may withdraw or change your consent at any time via the cookie preference center link in the Website footer. We do not use pre-ticked boxes or deceptive “dark pattern” designs.
THIRD PARTIES AND VENDORS
We allow selected third-party vendors (for analytics, advertising, social widgets, tag managers, support tools, A/B testing and others) to set cookies through our Website. Those vendors may collect information about your online activity and combine it with other information they hold. We require vendors who process personal data on our behalf to enter into appropriate data processing agreements and to implement technical and organizational safeguards. However, we are not responsible for third-party privacy or cookie practices; please consult the third parties’ privacy notices for details and opt-out instructions.
RETENTION AND DATA MINIMISATION
We retain cookie identifiers and the data collected via cookies only as long as necessary for the purpose for which they were collected. Typical analytics retention windows range from several months to two years depending on the vendor; advertising identifiers are retained according to vendor policies. Exact retention periods for each cookie and vendor are published in our Cookie Declaration and are kept up to date.
INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS
Some vendors operate outside your country and may store or process data in other jurisdictions. Where such transfers occur we implement appropriate safeguards required by law (for example, Standard Contractual Clauses or other lawful transfer mechanisms) and document these measures in our vendor agreements.
SECURITY
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect cookie data and any personal data derived from it. Access to cookie data is restricted on a need-to-know basis. Although we strive to protect data, no security system is impenetrable; please review our Privacy Policy for more information about breach notification procedures.
CHILDREN
The Website is not directed to children below applicable minimum ages. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children via cookies. If we learn that we have collected personal data from a child in breach of applicable law, we will take appropriate steps to delete that data.
YOUR CHOICES — HOW TO MANAGE OR REMOVE COOKIES
- Cookie preference center: Use the cookie banner or preference center on our Website to accept or reject cookie categories.
- Browser controls: You may block or delete cookies using your browser settings (note this may reduce Website functionality):
- Device & vendor opt-outs: Use device-level privacy settings, browser extensions or industry opt-out mechanisms provided by ad networks and analytics vendors.
- California residents: If you are a California resident and believe your personal information is “sold” or “shared,” you may exercise the applicable opt-out rights via our privacy controls or by contacting us (see Section 12).
COOKIES USED — COOKIE DECLARATION
We publish and maintain a Cookie Declaration page that lists all cookies we set (including cookie name, category, purpose, vendor and retention period). That page is updated whenever cookie vendors or our tagging change. If you need the current Cookie Declaration or a machine-readable export (CSV), contact us at adops@techwest.agency.

CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
We may update this Cookies Policy to reflect legal or practice changes or updates in the cookies we use. The effective date at the top will be revised. Where legally required we will seek fresh consent for material changes.
LEGAL & COMPLIANCE NOTES (READ CAREFULLY)
- This Policy is drafted to meet common legal requirements and enterprise expectations (for example, EU/EEA/UK ePrivacy rules and GDPR, and U.S. state privacy laws such as CCPA/CPRA). It is a robust template for enterprise review but does not constitute legal advice.
- Before publishing, Techwest Agency Inc. should: (1) perform a site crawl/cookie scan to identify every cookie and third-party tracker that loads on the Website; (2) publish a complete Cookie Declaration that matches actual site behavior; (3) ensure the cookie banner blocks non-essential cookies until consent is obtained and stores auditable consent records; (4) confirm vendor Data Processing Agreements and cross-border transfer safeguards (e.g., SCCs) are in place; and (5) obtain legal review from qualified privacy counsel.
- Large corporate clients typically request the cookie declaration, details about consent logging and vendor DPAs; preparing those artifacts in advance will accelerate procurement and legal review.
