Introduction
This Cookies and Similar Tracking Technologies Policy ("Cookie Policy") explains how Digital-Tiercel Security Labs Pvt. Ltd. ("DTSecLabs", "we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website, https://dtsec-labs.com ("Website").
It describes what these technologies are, why they may be used, the different categories of cookies, and how visitors can manage their preferences.
We are committed to transparency and protecting your privacy while providing a secure and reliable website experience.
Please read this Cookie Policy together with our Privacy Policy.

What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files containing information that websites may store on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit them.
Cookies can help websites recognize returning visitors, remember preferences, maintain sessions, and support website functionality.
Some cookies are necessary for a website to operate, while others may be used for analytics, personalization, or marketing.
Not all cookies collect personal data. However, cookies containing online identifiers or other information relating to an identifiable individual may involve the processing of personal data.
Types of Cookies
3.1 Session Cookies
Session cookies are temporary cookies used during a browsing session.
They generally expire when you close your browser. These cookies may help maintain essential functionality as you navigate between pages.
3.2 Persistent Cookies
Persistent cookies remain on your device after your browsing session ends.
They may be used to remember preferences or other settings for a defined period.
Persistent cookies remain until their expiry date or until you manually delete them.
3.3 First-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by the website you are visiting.
For DTSecLabs, these are cookies set by the DTSecLabs website or its associated domains.
They may support website functionality, security, or visitor preferences.
3.4 Third-Party Cookies
Third-party cookies are set by domains other than the website you are visiting.
These may be associated with external services integrated into a website, such as analytics providers, embedded media, or other third-party features.
Where third-party cookies require consent, they will only be enabled after the necessary consent has been obtained.
What Are Similar Tracking Technologies?
In addition to conventional cookies, websites may use other technologies that perform similar functions.
These may include: Local storage: Technology that allows websites to store information within a visitor's browser. Session storage: Browser storage typically associated with an individual browsing session. Tracking pixels: Small embedded resources that may record interactions with pages or content. Scripts and plugins: Technologies that may support website features, performance analysis, or third-party services. Device identification technologies: Techniques that may distinguish devices using technical characteristics.
Where these technologies store information on, or access information from, a visitor's device, applicable consent requirements also apply.
References to "Tracking Technologies" throughout this policy include cookies and such similar technologies.
Why Does DTSecLabs Use Tracking Technologies?
DTSecLabs may use Tracking Technologies for the following purposes, depending on the features and services implemented on the Website.
5.1 Strictly Necessary Technologies
These technologies support functions essential to operating the Website or providing a service explicitly requested by a visitor.
They may be used for: Maintaining basic website functionality. Protecting the Website from unauthorized access and misuse. Supporting essential security measures. Maintaining necessary sessions. Remembering cookie consent preferences.
Where an exemption under applicable law applies, these technologies may operate without prior consent.
5.2 Functional Technologies
Functional technologies may be used to remember choices or preferences and provide optional website features.
Examples include language preferences or certain embedded website functions.
Where these technologies are not strictly necessary, they will be activated only after obtaining the consent required by law.
5.3 Analytics and Website Improvement
If analytics technologies are implemented, they may help DTSecLabs understand how visitors interact with the Website.
Their purposes may include: Understanding website traffic and usage patterns. Identifying commonly visited pages. Evaluating website performance and usability. Improving navigation and content. Identifying opportunities to enhance the visitor experience.
Analytics technologies requiring consent will not be activated before consent is obtained.
5.4 Marketing Technologies
If implemented, marketing technologies may help measure the effectiveness of promotional campaigns and understand interactions with marketing content.
These technologies may involve third-party service providers.
Marketing technologies requiring consent will only be activated after the visitor provides that consent.
Not all categories described above are necessarily used on the DTSecLabs Website. The technologies actually deployed will be identified in the cookie inventory in Appendix A.
Consent and Legal Basis
DTSecLabs respects visitors' rights to control the use of non-essential Tracking Technologies.
Under Section 25 of Germany's Telecommunications-Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG), storing or accessing information on a user's device generally requires consent unless a statutory exemption applies.
For example, consent is not required where the access or storage is strictly necessary to provide a digital service explicitly requested by the user.
Where consent is required: Visitors must receive clear information about the technologies and their purposes. Optional Tracking Technologies must not be activated before valid consent is obtained. Visitors must have the opportunity to accept or reject optional technologies. Consent must be freely given, informed, specific, and unambiguous. Visitors must be able to withdraw consent at any time.
Where Tracking Technologies process personal data, DTSecLabs will also identify an appropriate legal basis under Article 6 of the GDPR.
Consent-based processing may rely on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Processing associated with strictly necessary technologies may rely on another applicable legal basis, such as contractual necessity or legitimate interests, where the relevant requirements are met.
Refusing optional cookies will not prevent visitors from accessing the essential informational content of the Website.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Visitors can manage optional Tracking Technologies through the consent controls provided on the Website where such technologies are used.
These controls allow visitors to: Accept optional cookies. Reject optional cookies. Select preferences by category. Change previously selected preferences. Withdraw previously granted consent.
Visitors can withdraw their consent without affecting the lawfulness of processing performed before withdrawal.
Where optional Tracking Technologies are implemented, a Cookie Settings control will be made available so visitors can revisit their choices.
Withdrawing consent will prevent further consent-based use of the relevant technologies. Cookies already stored may also need to be deleted through browser settings.
Managing Cookies Through Browser Settings
Most internet browsers provide options for managing stored cookies and website data.
You can generally configure your browser to: View cookies stored on your device. Delete individual or all stored cookies. Block third-party cookies. Restrict or disable cookie storage. Clear stored website data when the browser closes.
Cookie controls are typically found under the browser's privacy or security settings.
Guidance is available from browser providers, including: Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera.
Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect the functionality of certain website features.
Some browsers also support privacy preference signals, such as Do Not Track (DNT). These signals are not interpreted consistently by all websites and services.
Visitors should use the Website's cookie preference controls, where available, to manage consent directly.
Third-Party Tracking Technologies
DTSecLabs may integrate services provided by third parties to support website functionality, security, analytics, or other features.
Where a third-party service uses Tracking Technologies, DTSecLabs will assess the applicable transparency and consent requirements.
Third-party technologies that require consent will not be activated before the necessary consent is obtained.
The applicable service providers, purposes, and storage durations will be identified in Appendix A when such services are deployed.
External websites accessed through links on the DTSecLabs Website may have their own cookie and privacy policies.
We encourage visitors to review the policies of those external services.
Personal Data and International Transfers
Certain Tracking Technologies may collect or process information that constitutes personal data under applicable data protection laws.
Examples may include: Online identifiers. IP addresses. Device and browser information. Website interaction data. Cookie or session identifiers.
Where applicable, DTSecLabs processes such personal data in accordance with the GDPR and our Privacy Policy.
If the use of third-party technologies involves transferring personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA), DTSecLabs will assess the applicable data transfer requirements.
Where required, appropriate safeguards may include European Commission adequacy decisions or Standard Contractual Clauses.
Further details about relevant processing activities are available in our Privacy Policy.
How Long Are Cookies Stored?
The duration of cookies depends on their purpose and configuration.
Session cookies generally expire at the end of a browser session.
Persistent cookies may remain on the visitor's device for a defined period or until manually deleted.
DTSecLabs will identify the applicable expiry periods for Tracking Technologies in Appendix A.
Where personal data is processed through these technologies, the relevant data retention periods may differ from the technical lifetime of an individual cookie.
Further information on personal data retention is available in our Privacy Policy.
Changes to This Cookie Policy
DTSecLabs may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect: Changes to website functionality. Introduction or removal of Tracking Technologies. Changes to third-party services. Developments in applicable privacy legislation. Changes to our data protection practices.
The latest version will be published on this page with an updated revision date.
Where material changes affect purposes for which consent was previously obtained, we will request renewed consent where required by applicable law.
