Last updated: 7 November 2026. This policy explains how cookies and similar technologies are used on DefMek. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
DefMek uses cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality, understand how visitors interact with our content, and support services provided through the website. This policy explains how these technologies work, why they may be used, and how visitors can manage their preferences.
01. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites may store in a visitor's browser or device. They allow websites and service providers to recognize a browser, remember certain information, and support particular website functions.
The term "cookies" in this policy also includes similar technologies, such as local storage, pixels, web beacons, and other technologies that can store or access information on a device.
02. How cookies and similar technologies are used
Website functionality
Certain cookies and technologies may support the technical operation of DefMek and the services used to provide the website. They may help maintain security, support basic functions, and improve reliability.
Preferences and settings
Where supported, cookies or similar technologies may remember preferences or choices made by visitors. This can help maintain settings between visits and provide a more consistent browsing experience.
Analytics and website performance
DefMek may use analytics services, including Google Analytics 4 where enabled, to understand how visitors use the website. Depending on the service and its configuration, information may include pages viewed, referral sources, browser and device information, approximate geographic information, and interactions with website content.
Analytics information helps us understand traffic patterns, assess content performance, identify technical problems, and improve the usefulness and operation of the website.
Embedded content and external services
Some DefMek pages may include content or features supplied by external services, such as videos, images, documents, or social-media content. When visitors view or interact with such material, the relevant provider may use its own cookies or similar technologies.
DefMek does not control cookies or information collection carried out independently by external providers.
03. Types of cookies
Cookies and similar technologies can serve different purposes. The categories below describe their general functions. The actual technologies used depend on the services active on the website.

04. Third-party providers
DefMek may rely on third-party services for website hosting, analytics, advertising, embedded content, and other technical functions. These providers may process information or use cookies and similar technologies when their services operate on the website.
For example, when Google services are enabled, Google may use cookies and other identifiers to provide analytics or advertising functionality, depending on the services configured on DefMek.
More information about how Google uses information from websites and applications that use its services is available at: How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services .
Information about Google's advertising technologies and available advertising preferences can be found at: Google Advertising Technologies and Google Ads Settings .
Other third-party providers operate under their own privacy policies and terms. Visitors should review the relevant provider's documentation to understand its information practices.
05. Cookie preferences and consent
Where applicable law requires consent before non-essential cookies or similar technologies are used, the relevant technologies should only operate in accordance with the visitor's consent choices and applicable requirements.
Where a consent management mechanism is provided, visitors can use it to review available cookie categories, make choices, or change previously given preferences.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place before consent was withdrawn. Certain essential technologies may continue to operate where they are necessary for the website or a requested service to function.
06. Managing cookies through your browser
Most modern browsers provide settings that allow visitors to view, block, restrict, or delete cookies. These controls are generally available through the browser's privacy or security settings.
The available controls differ between browsers and devices. Restricting cookies may affect certain website functions, preferences, or embedded services.
Important information
Browser cookie settings do not necessarily control every technology used by websites. Where a separate consent mechanism is provided or legally required, visitors should also use that mechanism to manage their preferences.
07. Privacy rights
Depending on their location and applicable privacy laws, visitors may have rights relating to personal information. These may include rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction of certain processing, or withdrawal of consent where applicable.
Additional information about the information DefMek collects, how it is used, and how privacy-related requests can be made is provided in our Privacy Policy.
