What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, work more efficiently, and provide reporting information.
First-party cookies are set by the website owner (in this case, AlphaTek) and are necessary for our Website to operate properly.
Third-party cookies are set by parties other than the website owner and enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics.
Why do we use cookies?
We use first- and third-party cookies for several reasons:
- Essential cookies - Required for technical reasons for our Website to operate
- Analytics cookies - Help us understand how you use our Website
- Performance cookies - Track and enhance your browsing experience
- Advertising cookies - Used to deliver targeted advertisements
- Functional cookies - Remember your preferences and settings
How can I control cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in the Cookie Preference Center.
The Cookie Preference Center allows you to select which categories of cookies you accept or reject. Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide you with services.
If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our Website, though your access to some functionality and areas of our Website may be restricted. You may also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies.
How can I control cookies on my browser?
The means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser to browser. You should visit your browser's help menu for more information. Here's how to manage cookies on popular browsers:

What about other tracking technologies?
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other similar technologies from time to time, including:
- Web beacons - Tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier enabling us to recognize when someone has visited our Website or opened an email
- Tracking pixels - Similar to web beacons, used to monitor traffic patterns
- Clear GIFs - Another name for tracking technology used to understand email marketing campaign success
These technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
Do you use Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects?
Websites may use "Flash Cookies" (also known as Local Shared Objects or "LSOs") to collect and store information about your use of our services, for fraud prevention, and for other site operations.
If you do not want Flash Cookies stored on your computer, you can adjust the settings of your Flash player to block Flash Cookies storage using the tools contained in the Website Storage Settings Panel.
Please note that setting the Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash Cookies may reduce or impede the functionality of some Flash applications.
Do you serve targeted advertising?
Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve advertising through our Website. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services.
They employ technology to measure the effectiveness of advertisements using cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to you.
The information collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify your name, contact details, or other details that directly identify you unless you choose to provide these.
