Cookie Policy
Learn how Asghar Consultants uses cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience on our platform.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that your browser automatically creates and that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit our website. Cookies do not cause any damage to your device and contain no viruses, Trojans, or other malware.
Information is stored in the cookie that arises in connection with the specific device used. However, this does not mean that we obtain direct knowledge of your identity as a result.
In addition to cookies, Asghar Consultants may use similar technologies such as Local Storage (for storing data on your device) and Session Storage (for temporary session data). This policy covers all such technologies collectively referred to as "cookies".
2. How We Use Cookies
The use of cookies serves, on the one hand, to make the use of our offer more pleasant for you. We use so-called session cookies to recognise that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted after you leave our site.
In addition, we use temporary cookies to optimise user-friendliness, which are stored on your device for a defined period of time. If you visit our site again, it is automatically recognised that you have already been with us and which entries and settings you have made, so that you do not have to enter them again.
The data processed by essential cookies is necessary for the aforementioned purposes to protect our legitimate interests and those of third parties in accordance with Art. 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR. Functional cookies are only set on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).
We do not use cookies for advertising purposes, and we do not engage in cross-site tracking or retargeting.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
Asghar Consultants uses the following categories of cookies. Essential cookies are required for the platform to function, while functional cookies require your explicit consent.

These cookies are necessary for the basic functionality of the Asghar Consultants platform and cannot be disabled. They enable core features such as session management, secure access, and storing your consent and language preferences. They do not store any personally identifiable information.

| asgcon_recent | Saves recently viewed pages for quick access | 30 days | Local Storage |
4. Third-Party Cookies and Analytics
We currently do not use any external analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) and do not set any third-party advertising cookies on this website.
We reserve the right to use analytics tools in the future to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimising our offer. Should such tools be used, they would only be activated with your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, and we would inform you here and provide the relevant data protection information. Any analytics tools used would be configured to anonymise IP addresses.
If we integrate third-party services (for example, video hosting or maps) on specific pages, these may set their own cookies when you interact with them. Such services are clearly identified at the point where they are activated.
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
