Cookie Usage Policy

Last Updated: March 15, 2025

When you visit glowmindlogic.com, we use tracking technologies to improve your experience and understand how you interact with our database administration education platform. This policy explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can control them. We believe in transparency about the data we collect and how it helps us serve you better.

Current Cookie Status: Cookies Accepted

What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit websites. They help sites remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how you navigate pages. We also use similar technologies like web beacons, pixels, and local storage to collect information about your visits.

Think of cookies as digital bookmarks that help us remember you. Some expire when you close your browser. Others stick around for weeks or months so you don't have to re-enter information every time you return.

How We Use Tracking on Glowmindlogic.com

Essential Cookies (Cannot Be Disabled)

These cookies keep our platform functional. Without them, you wouldn't be able to navigate between pages, access secure areas, or use core features. We need these to provide the service you've requested.

What Essential Cookies Do:

Session Management: Keeps you logged in as you move through different sections of our learning platform

Security: Protects your account from unauthorized access and prevents cross-site attacks

Load Balancing: Routes your requests to the right server to maintain site performance

Form Memory: Remembers what you've typed if you accidentally navigate away from a registration form

Functional Cookies (Optional)

These enhance your experience by remembering your choices. They track things like your language preference, whether you prefer dark mode, or which course categories you browse most often. You can disable these, but some features won't work as smoothly.

  • Language and region settings for Taiwan-based users
  • Display preferences like text size or layout choices
  • Previously viewed courses and program recommendations
  • Customization options you've selected for your dashboard

Analytics Cookies (Optional)

We use analytics to understand which parts of our database administration courses are most helpful and where people get stuck. This data is anonymous and helps us improve the learning experience. For example, if we notice students repeatedly revisit a specific SQL tutorial section, we know to add more examples there.

Common analytics we collect:

  • Which course pages receive the most engagement
  • How long visitors spend on tutorial content
  • Navigation paths through our learning program structure
  • Device types and screen sizes accessing our platform
  • Geographic data to understand our Taiwan audience better

Marketing Cookies (Optional)

These track your activity across websites to show relevant ads. If you've visited our Oracle database courses, you might see ads for our advanced SQL programs on other sites. Marketing cookies also help us measure campaign effectiveness and avoid showing you the same ad fifty times.

We work with partners who place these cookies. When you reject non-essential cookies, we signal to advertising platforms that you've opted out of personalized ads.

Types of Data We Collect

Here's what tracking technologies actually capture when you visit glowmindlogic.com:

Data Type What It Includes Why We Need It
Device Information Browser type, operating system, screen resolution To optimize site layout for your device
Usage Patterns Pages visited, time spent, click behavior To improve course content and navigation
Location Data IP address, general geographic region To provide Taiwan-relevant content and comply with local regulations
Referral Source Which site or search brought you here To understand effective marketing channels

How Long We Keep Cookie Data

Different cookies have different lifespans based on their purpose:

  • Session Cookies: Deleted when you close your browser
  • Short-term Cookies: Expire after 24-48 hours (typically for temporary preferences)
  • Medium-term Cookies: Last 30-90 days (functional preferences and analytics)
  • Long-term Cookies: Can persist up to 2 years (remember login status and long-term preferences)

Analytics data is typically aggregated and anonymized within 14 days. We review and delete outdated tracking data quarterly to minimize storage of information we no longer need.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have several ways to control cookies beyond the rejection button above:

Browser Settings

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings menu. Keep in mind this affects all websites, not just ours. Here's where to find these controls:

  • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
  • Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
  • Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
  • Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies

Third-Party Opt-Outs

For marketing cookies from advertising networks, you can opt out through industry tools like the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page or Digital Advertising Alliance preferences. This won't stop all ads, but they'll be less targeted to your interests.

Mobile Device Controls

iOS and Android devices have built-in tracking limitations. On iOS 14 and later, you can disable cross-site tracking through Settings → Safari → Prevent Cross-Site Tracking. Android users can reset their advertising ID or opt out of personalized ads in system settings.

What Happens When You Reject Cookies

If you click the rejection button above or disable cookies in your browser, here's what changes:

  • We'll stop placing analytics and marketing cookies on your device
  • Your preference settings won't be saved between visits
  • You might need to log in more frequently
  • Personalized course recommendations won't be available
  • Some interactive features may not work properly
  • You'll still see ads, but they won't be tailored to your interests

Essential cookies will still function because they're required for basic site operations. There's no way to completely disable these without breaking core functionality.

Third-Party Services We Use

Glowmindlogic.com works with external services that may place their own cookies. We carefully select partners who respect user privacy, but they have their own policies governing data collection:

  • Google Analytics: Tracks site usage and visitor behavior patterns
  • Advertising Platforms: Help us reach potential students with relevant course information
  • Social Media Plugins: Enable sharing course content on various platforms
  • Video Providers: Host tutorial videos embedded in our learning materials

When you reject non-essential cookies, we send signals to these services indicating your preferences. However, some may still collect limited data necessary for their basic functionality.

Updates to This Policy

We review and update this policy as our tracking practices evolve or when regulations change. The "Last Updated" date at the top tells you when we last made revisions. Significant changes will be highlighted on our news page and may require you to review your cookie preferences again.

We operate in Taiwan and follow relevant local privacy regulations while serving an international audience of database administration students. Our practices aim to balance effective site operation with respect for your privacy choices.
