Cookie Policy
Last Updated: February 2025
At sparkwaveflux.com, we use tracking technologies to make your experience smoother and to understand how people interact with our blockchain deployment resources. This policy explains what we track, why we track it, and how you can control it.
What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit websites. They help sites remember your preferences and recognize you when you come back. Beyond traditional cookies, we also use other tracking methods like web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage.
Think of cookies as digital sticky notes. Some disappear when you close your browser (session cookies), while others stick around until they expire or you delete them (persistent cookies). We use both types depending on what needs to happen.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Cookies
These are the ones we can't really do without. They make basic functions work - stuff like keeping you logged into your learning portal, remembering items in your course wishlist, or maintaining your session when you navigate between pages. Without these, parts of our site just wouldn't function properly.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices to make things more convenient. For example, if you've set your preferred language or adjusted text size for readability, functional cookies store those preferences. They're about personalizing your experience based on what you've told us you want.
Analytical Cookies
We use these to understand how visitors interact with sparkwaveflux.com. Which blockchain deployment guides get the most attention? Where do people tend to drop off in our tutorials? This data helps us improve content and fix confusing navigation. All information collected is aggregated and anonymous.
Marketing Cookies
These track your journey across websites to build a profile of your interests. We use them to show relevant educational content about blockchain technologies and to measure the effectiveness of our outreach campaigns. You might see our content on other platforms after visiting our site - that's these cookies at work.
Specific Cookies We Deploy
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| swf_session | Maintains your active session and login status | Session | Essential |
| swf_preferences | Stores interface settings and content preferences | 12 months | Functional |
| swf_analytics | Tracks page views and interaction patterns | 24 months | Analytical |
| swf_marketing | Enables targeted educational content delivery | 18 months | Marketing |
How We Use Tracking Data
The information we collect through cookies serves several practical purposes. We analyze which blockchain deployment tutorials resonate most with our audience in South Korea and internationally. This helps us create better educational content that actually addresses what people need to learn.
We also use tracking to improve site performance. If we notice that certain pages load slowly or that users consistently abandon specific sections, we investigate and fix those issues. It's about making the platform work better for everyone.
We never sell your tracking data to third parties. Any information collected stays within our systems or is shared only with trusted service providers who help us operate the platform - and only under strict confidentiality agreements.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on sparkwaveflux.com come from external services we've integrated. For instance, if we embed educational videos from hosting platforms, those services may set their own cookies. We carefully select third-party providers, but you should know that their tracking is governed by their own privacy policies, not ours.
Common third-party cookies you might encounter include:
- Analytics platforms that help us understand visitor behavior patterns
- Content delivery networks that make our resources load faster globally
- Educational platform integrations for interactive blockchain demonstrations
- Communication tools for student support and inquiry systems
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have several options for controlling cookies. Most browsers let you block cookies entirely, though this will probably break some website functionality. A middle ground is to accept only first-party cookies (ones set by the site you're actually visiting) while blocking third-party tracking.
Browser Settings
Every major browser offers cookie management tools. In Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge, you can find these settings under privacy or security sections. You can delete existing cookies, block future ones, or set exceptions for specific sites you trust.
Keep in mind that clearing cookies will log you out of sites and erase saved preferences. You'll need to set things up again next time you visit.
Mobile Device Controls
On smartphones and tablets, cookie controls are usually found in your browser app settings. iOS and Android devices also offer broader tracking restrictions through their system-level privacy settings. These can limit tracking across multiple apps and websites simultaneously.
Data Retention and Storage
Different cookies have different lifespans based on their function. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Persistent cookies stick around longer - anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of years, depending on their purpose.
We regularly review and clean up old tracking data. Once cookies expire or you delete them, the associated data becomes disconnected from your specific browsing activity. Aggregated analytics data may be retained longer for trend analysis, but it's fully anonymized.
Updates to This Policy
As we add new features to sparkwaveflux.com or adjust how we track usage, this policy gets updated. We'll change the "Last Updated" date at the top whenever we make revisions. Major changes will be announced through our platform notification system or via email to registered users.
It's worth checking back periodically, especially if you're particular about your privacy settings. We try to keep this document straightforward, but blockchain education technology keeps evolving, and our tracking methods adapt accordingly.
