How We Use Tracking Technologies
We want to be straightforward about how FlashEvolve uses tracking technologies on flaskevolve.life. This page explains what we track, why we do it, and how you can control your preferences. We believe in transparency—so if something here doesn't make sense, reach out and we'll explain it better.
What Are Tracking Technologies?
When you visit our site, small pieces of data get stored on your device. These are commonly called cookies, but there are other types too. Think of them as little memory notes that help our website remember things about your visit—like whether you've logged in or which pages you've viewed.
Some of these technologies are essential. Without them, basic functions wouldn't work. Others help us understand how people use our site so we can make it better.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Functions
These keep the site working. They remember your login session, language preferences, and form inputs. You can't turn these off because the site would break without them. They're strictly functional and don't track you across the web.
Performance Tracking
We track how visitors move through our site—which pages get the most traffic, where people spend time, and where they drop off. This helps us figure out what's confusing or what needs improvement. All data is anonymized.
Functional Enhancements
These remember your choices—like if you've dismissed a notification or customized your dashboard. They make your experience smoother by not asking you the same questions every time you visit.
Marketing and Analytics
We use these to understand which marketing efforts bring people to our site and which program information resonates most. This helps us create better content and reach people who might benefit from our programming courses.
How We Actually Use This Information
- Keep you logged in when you're working through course materials or reviewing program details
- Remember which learning program pages you've visited so we can suggest relevant next steps
- Track how many people start the enrollment inquiry process and where they get stuck
- Measure which blog posts or resources get the most attention from beginners versus experienced learners
- Understand peak traffic times so we can schedule system maintenance during quiet periods
- Test different versions of our program descriptions to see which explanations work best
- Monitor site speed and technical performance across different devices and browsers
We don't sell this data. We don't share it with third parties except for the analytics tools we use (like basic web analytics platforms). And we definitely don't use it for anything weird or intrusive.
Taking Control of Your Privacy
You're not stuck with our defaults. Every major browser lets you manage tracking preferences. Here's how it works across different platforms:
Chrome
Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
Firefox
Options → Privacy & Security → Enhanced Tracking Protection
Safari
Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
Edge
Settings → Privacy, search, and services → Tracking prevention
Keep in mind that blocking all tracking can break some site features. Essential functions will still work, but you might lose conveniences like staying logged in or having your preferences remembered.
Data Retention Policies
How Long We Keep Things
Session data: Gets deleted when you close your browser. This includes temporary login tokens and form data.
Preference cookies: Last up to 12 months. These remember settings you've chosen so you don't have to reconfigure everything each visit.
Analytics data: We keep aggregated stats for 24 months to track long-term trends in how people use our site. Individual session details are anonymized within 30 days.
Marketing tracking: Campaign-specific cookies expire after 90 days. This helps us measure whether our outreach efforts are effective without tracking you indefinitely.
If you clear your browser cookies, everything gets wiped immediately from your device. Our server-side analytics might still have anonymized data from your past visits, but it won't be connected to you personally.
Your Rights and Options
Access Your Data
You can request a report of what information we've collected through tracking technologies. We'll provide it in a readable format within 30 days.
Opt Out Anytime
Change your browser settings or contact us directly to opt out of non-essential tracking. Your site experience might be less personalized, but core functions will work fine.
Delete Everything
Request deletion of all tracking data associated with your visits. We'll clear it from our systems within 14 days, though some anonymized aggregate stats might remain for analytics purposes.
Questions About Our Tracking?
We know privacy policies can feel overwhelming. If anything here is unclear, or if you want to discuss your specific situation, just get in touch.
We're a small team in Taipei working to make programming education accessible. We take privacy seriously, but we're also real people who are happy to explain things in plain language.
