What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help websites remember things about your visit – like your preferences or whether you're logged in.

At sparkstream-digitallink.com, we use various tracking technologies to improve your experience while learning about budget audit preparation. Some are necessary for the site to work properly, while others help us understand how people use our educational resources.

Types of Tracking We Use

How Tracking Enhances Your Experience

Learning Progress

When you're working through our budget audit preparation materials, cookies help us remember where you left off. You can close your browser and come back later to pick up exactly where you stopped reading.

Content Personalization

If you frequently read about specific audit procedures or Thai business regulations, we can highlight related content that might interest you. This saves time when you're preparing for actual client work.

Performance Improvements

Analytics help us identify which pages load slowly or where people encounter problems. For example, if many visitors struggle with a particular budget analysis worksheet, we know to simplify the instructions.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

What Happens When You Block Cookies

Blocking all cookies won't break our site, but you might lose some conveniences. Your learning progress won't be saved between sessions, and you'll need to adjust settings like text size every time you visit.

Some features, like downloading budget templates or accessing member-only content, require cookies for security purposes. These will stop working if you block everything.

Data Retention and Your Control

Most of our tracking cookies expire automatically. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser, while others might stick around for up to two years to remember your preferences.

Analytics data gets aggregated and anonymized within 90 days. We keep learning progress data longer so you don't lose your place in our courses, but you can request deletion of your personal data anytime.

You have complete control over this information. Contact us if you want to see what we've collected about your visits or if you'd like everything deleted from our systems.

Third-Party Services

We use Google Analytics to understand how people use our educational content. Google has their own privacy controls and policies that govern how they handle this information.

Some embedded content, like video tutorials or interactive budget calculators, might come from other educational platforms. These services may set their own tracking cookies according to their policies.

Updates to This Policy

We review and update this cookie policy regularly, especially when we add new features to our learning platform or change how we track user engagement with our content.

Major changes will be announced on our website at least 30 days before they take effect. For significant updates to how we handle your data, we'll send email notifications to registered users.
