No vanity tracking
Session security first
Full transparency
Section 01
Data Integrity & Privacy

At TechHK, we prioritize your privacy. We do not engage in vanity tracking, behavioural profiling, or any form of surveillance capitalism. Our cookies are strictly utilised to enhance your platform experience, maintain secure member sessions, and protect our infrastructure from unauthorized access.

This policy explains clearly what cookies we use, why we use them, and exactly what control you have over them. Nothing is hidden.

TechHK does not use cookies to serve advertisements or share your browsing behaviour with third-party ad networks. Ever.

Section 02
Cookie Classifications

We use two categories of cookies. Essential cookies are required for the platform to function. Performance cookies are optional and help us improve the experience for everyone.

Essential Cookies
Required
Required for membership login, session management, credit balance tracking, bounty status, and multi-factor authentication. These cannot be disabled without breaking core platform functionality.
Performance Cookies
Optional
Anonymized metrics that help us understand which course guides are popular, how challenges perform, and where the platform can be improved. No personal identifiers are stored.
Functional Cookies
Optional
Remember your preferences such as language, display settings, and notification choices so you don't have to reconfigure on each visit.
Security Cookies
Required
Protect against cross-site request forgery (CSRF), session hijacking, and other security threats. These are critical to keeping your account and data safe.
Section 03
Your Autonomy

You have full control over your data footprint. While essential and security cookies are necessary for the platform to function correctly, you may adjust your browser settings to reject optional cookies at any time.

  • Disable performance cookies without losing core platform access
  • Clear all TechHK cookies from your browser settings at any time
  • Opt out of functional cookies — your session will still be secure
  • Request a full export of data associated with your account

Disabling essential or security cookies will result in loss of session persistence and may prevent access to your member dashboard, credits, and challenge entries.

Section 04
