Cookie Policy 

​Effective Date: February 2026

​At TechStora  ("we", "us", or "our"), we believe in transparency regarding how we collect and use data. This Cookie Policy explains how tracking technologies are utilized across the entire TechStora Ecosystem (including techstora.com, pulse.techstora.com, wiki.techstora.com, and news.techstora.com).

​1. What Are Cookies?

​Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer or mobile) when you visit a website. They are essential for modern web architecture, allowing sites to recognize your device, secure your connection, and deliver personalized content.

​2. How We Use Cookies

​We classify cookies into three logical categories based on their function:

  • ​Strictly Necessary (Infrastructure): Required for the website to function (e.g., load balancing, security protocols). You cannot switch these off.
  • ​Performance & Analytics: Help us understand traffic patterns and server load anonymously.
  • ​Advertising & Targeting: Used by our monetization partners to show relevant ads.

​3. Specific Technologies We Use

​A. Infrastructure & Security (Cloudflare)

We use Cloudflare as our edge network provider. Cloudflare places cookies (such as __cf_bm, _cfuvid) to:

  • ​Distinguish between humans and bots.
  • ​Apply security firewalls (WAF) to prevent DDoS attacks.
  • ​Note: These cookies are strictly for security and do not store personally identifiable information.

​B. Content Management (Odoo)

Our backend runs on Odoo Enterprise. Odoo sets temporary session cookies (e.g., session_id) to:

  • ​Manage user sessions during a visit.
  • ​Ensure the correct loading of dynamic content across our subdomains.

​C. Advertising (Google AdSense & Ad Manager)

TechStora uses Google AdSense and Google Ad Manager to monetize traffic.

  • ​DoubleClick DART Cookie: Google uses the DART cookie to serve ads based on your visit to our sites and other sites on the internet.
  • ​Personalization: These cookies build a profile of your interests to show relevant advertisements.

​D. Analytics

We may use tools like Google Analytics or SEMrush to track aggregated usage data (e.g., "Most Read Articles", "Bounce Rate"). This data is anonymized and helps us improve our engineering logic.

​4. Managing Your Preferences (No Intrusive Banners)

​We prioritize a clean user experience and do not use intrusive "Cookie Consent" pop-ups that block content. We respect your browser's native settings.

  • ​Browser Controls: You can modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer. However, this may prevent you from taking full advantage of the website (e.g., comments may not work).
  • ​Ad Personalization: You can opt-out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings.
  • ​Industry Opt-Out: You can opt-out of third-party vendor cookies by visiting www.aboutads.info.

​5. Updates to This Policy

​We may update this policy to reflect changes in our technology stack (e.g., adding new security layers or ad partners). Please review this page periodically.
