Cookie Policy
Last Updated: March 15, 2025
This policy explains how deepthinklogicx.com collects, stores, and manages data through various tracking technologies. We believe transparency matters, so we're laying out exactly what happens when you visit our site and how you can control your experience.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Cookies are small text files that get saved to your device when you visit websites. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help websites remember things about you between visits.
They store bits of information like your language preference or whether you've logged in. Some stick around for years, others vanish when you close your browser. They can't access other files on your device or spread viruses, but they do collect information about how you interact with websites.
Types of Tracking We Use
Not all cookies do the same job. Here's what we're using on deepthinklogicx.com and why each one exists:
Essential Cookies
These keep the site functioning properly. They handle things like remembering your session as you move between pages, maintaining security settings, and making sure forms work correctly. Without them, basic features break. We can't really turn these off without making the site unusable.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices and preferences. If you've selected a specific display setting or told us you want updates about certain topics, functional cookies store that information. They make your experience smoother by not asking you the same questions repeatedly.
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand how people navigate our site. Which pages get the most attention? Where do visitors spend their time? What links get clicked? This data helps us figure out what's working and what needs improvement. The information gets anonymized before we review it.
Marketing Cookies
These track which parts of our site interest you most. They help us show relevant content and avoid bombarding you with information you've already seen. If you're looking at responsive design resources, we won't keep suggesting articles about something completely different.
Specific Cookies on Our Site
Here's a breakdown of the actual cookies we deploy:
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | Maintains your active session | Browser session | Essential |
| preferences_saved | Stores display and language choices | 12 months | Functional |
| analytics_visitor | Tracks anonymous usage patterns | 24 months | Analytics |
| content_interest | Records topic preferences | 6 months | Marketing |
| form_progress | Saves partially completed forms | Browser session | Essential |
Third-Party Tracking
We work with external services that set their own cookies. These include analytics platforms that help us understand visitor behavior and content delivery networks that speed up page loading.
Each third-party service has its own privacy policy explaining how they collect and use data. While we choose partners carefully, they operate independently with their own terms and practices.
- Analytics providers track site usage patterns and generate reports
- Content delivery networks cache resources to improve loading speeds
- Communication tools enable chat functionality and support features
- Video hosting services manage embedded video content
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You've got several ways to control cookies. Most browsers let you block them entirely, though this might break certain features. A better approach is selecting which categories you're comfortable with.
Browser Settings
Every major browser includes built-in cookie controls. You can usually find them under privacy or security settings. The exact location varies, but here's where to start:
Data Retention and Storage
Different cookies have different lifespans. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Persistent cookies stay on your device until they expire or you delete them manually.
We review the data collected through cookies quarterly and remove information that's no longer needed. Analytics data gets anonymized within 26 months. Marketing preference cookies expire after 6 months unless you interact with related content again.
Mobile Device Tracking
Mobile browsers handle cookies similarly to desktop versions, though the settings menus look different. Smartphones and tablets also use device identifiers that work like cookies but operate at the operating system level.
iOS and Android both offer tracking controls in their system settings. You can limit ad tracking, reset your advertising ID, or restrict which apps can collect location data. These settings work independently from browser cookie controls.
Changes to This Policy
We update this policy when we add new tracking technologies or change how we handle data. Significant changes get announced through a notice on our homepage, but minor clarifications might happen without special notification.
The "Last Updated" date at the top shows when we most recently revised the policy. Checking back occasionally helps you stay informed about how we're managing cookies and tracking on deepthinklogicx.com.
Questions About Our Cookie Use?
If something in this policy doesn't make sense or you want more details about specific tracking technologies, reach out to us. We're located in Taichung City and happy to explain how we handle data collection.
