Cookie Policy
Last Updated: March 2025
We believe in being upfront about how glowenfire.com collects and uses data. This policy explains what tracking technologies we use and why they matter for your experience on our platform.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit websites. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help websites remember things about you—like your preferences or login status.
They're not programs and can't carry viruses. Most are harmless and just make your browsing experience smoother. But we get that privacy matters, which is why we're explaining exactly what we do.
How We Use Tracking Technologies
At glowenfire.com, we use several types of tracking methods to keep our budget trend analysis platform running smoothly. Here's what happens when you visit our site:
Essential Cookies
These keep the site functional. They remember your login status and security settings. Without them, you'd have to log in every time you clicked to a new page. They're necessary for the platform to work, so they're always active.
Functional Cookies
These remember your preferences—like currency format, dashboard layout, or language choice. They make the site feel personalized without collecting sensitive data about you.
Analytics Cookies
We track which features people use most and where they get stuck. This helps us improve the budget analysis tools and fix issues faster. The data is aggregated, so we see patterns rather than individual behavior.
Performance Cookies
These monitor loading times and technical performance. If our trend analysis charts are loading slowly for users in certain regions, we need to know so we can optimize server response.
Third-Party Tracking
Some cookies come from services we integrate with. For instance, if we embed a financial calculator from a partner tool, they might set their own cookies. We're selective about third parties and only work with services that respect user privacy.
Current third-party services we use:
Analytics platforms for understanding usage patterns, content delivery networks for faster page loads, and customer support tools for handling inquiries. Each has its own privacy policy, which we've vetted before integration.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have control over which cookies you accept. Every modern browser lets you manage these settings, though the exact steps vary.
Browser Settings Approach
- Open your browser settings (usually under a menu icon or preferences)
- Look for "Privacy," "Security," or "Cookies" sections
- Choose to block third-party cookies, all cookies, or specific site cookies
- Some browsers offer exception lists where you can allow certain sites while blocking others
Keep in mind that blocking essential cookies will break site functionality. You won't be able to stay logged in or save your dashboard preferences. We recommend allowing first-party cookies from glowenfire.com while being selective about third-party ones.
Data Retention and Storage
Different cookies have different lifespans. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Others might last for months or years, depending on their purpose.
| Cookie Type | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Session Authentication | Until browser closes | Keeps you logged in during active use |
| Preference Storage | 12 months | Remembers dashboard settings and layout choices |
| Analytics Tracking | 24 months | Tracks long-term usage patterns and trends |
| Security Tokens | 30 days | Prevents unauthorized access and fraud |
You can clear cookies manually anytime through your browser settings. This resets your preferences but also logs you out of the platform.
Why We Need This Data
Here's the honest truth: we collect this information to make glowenfire.com better at what it does. Budget trend analysis requires understanding patterns, and cookies help us see which features actually help people versus which ones get ignored.
When we notice that users in Vietnam struggle with a particular chart format, we can redesign it. When login sessions expire too quickly and frustrate people, we adjust the timing. Analytics show us where our assumptions about user needs don't match reality.
We're not selling this data or using it for ad targeting. Our business model relies on providing valuable financial analysis tools, not on monetizing user information.
Updates to This Policy
Technology changes, and so do privacy regulations. We update this policy when we add new tracking methods or change how we handle data. The date at the top shows when we last revised it.
Major changes get announced through email notifications to active users. Minor clarifications happen quietly. You can always check back here to see the current version.
Your Rights Under Data Protection Laws
Vietnamese data protection guidelines and international standards give you specific rights about your information. You can request a copy of what data we've collected, ask us to delete certain records, or object to specific types of processing.
To exercise these rights, contact our data protection team with your account details. We'll respond within 30 days with either the requested information or an explanation if we can't fulfill the request due to legal obligations.
