Cookie Policy

Last Updated: March 2025

At lighta-dyn, we believe in being upfront about how we collect and use data. This policy explains what tracking technologies we use on lighta-dyn.com, why we use them, and how you can control your preferences. We've written this in plain language because nobody likes deciphering legal jargon.

What Are Cookies Anyway?

Think of cookies as tiny notes your browser keeps. When you visit our site, we might store small text files on your device. These files help us remember things about your visit—like whether you've logged in or which language you prefer.

Some cookies stick around for years. Others vanish the moment you close your browser. And here's the thing: not all cookies come from us. Third-party services we work with might place their own cookies to help with analytics or security.

First-Party Cookies

These are set directly by lighta-dyn.com. We control what they do and how long they last. They're primarily for keeping the site functional and remembering your preferences between visits.

Third-Party Cookies

Other companies set these through our site. They help us understand traffic patterns and site performance. We're selective about who we work with, but these cookies follow their own privacy policies.

Types of Tracking We Use

We categorize our tracking technologies based on what they do. Each serves a different purpose, and some are more optional than others.

Essential Cookies

These keep the lights on. Without them, basic features wouldn't work. They handle things like security, load balancing, and maintaining your session when you're logged in. You can't opt out of these because the site literally needs them to function.

Functional Cookies

These remember your choices so you don't have to repeat them every visit. Language settings, region preferences, that sort of thing. The site works without them, but your experience gets better with them enabled.

Analytics Cookies

We use these to understand how people navigate our site. Which pages get visited most? Where do people spend time? This helps us improve the content and structure. All data is aggregated and anonymized.

Marketing Cookies

These track your activity across sites to show relevant content. If you've looked at blockchain courses, you might see related educational resources later. They're optional, and many people prefer to disable them entirely.

Your Choice Matters

You're not stuck with our default settings. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies entirely. Just know that blocking essential ones will break certain features. Blocking analytics or marketing cookies? That won't affect your ability to use the site at all.

How Long We Keep Data

Different cookies have different lifespans. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Persistent cookies can stick around for months or even years, depending on their purpose.

  • Session cookies expire immediately after you close your browser window
  • Authentication cookies typically last 30 days or until you log out
  • Preference cookies might persist for up to 12 months
  • Analytics data is aggregated and stored for 26 months before deletion
  • Marketing cookies generally expire after 90 days but can be refreshed on repeat visits

Managing Your Browser Settings

Every major browser gives you control over cookies. The exact steps vary, but you can usually find cookie settings under privacy or security preferences. Here's what you can typically do:

Browser How to Access Settings What You Can Control
Chrome Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies Block all cookies, block third-party only, or allow all
Firefox Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies Standard, strict, or custom blocking levels
Safari Preferences → Privacy → Cookies and Website Data Block all cookies or allow from visited sites
Edge Settings → Privacy → Cookies Block all, block third-party, or allow with exceptions

What happens if I block all cookies?

+
The site will still load, but you'll run into issues. You won't be able to log in or save preferences. Some interactive features might not work properly. If you're going to block cookies, consider allowing just the essential ones for basic functionality.

Do you track me across other websites?

+
We don't directly track you across the web. However, third-party services like analytics providers might. They operate under their own privacy policies. If you want to prevent cross-site tracking entirely, use your browser's tracking protection features or install a privacy extension.

Can I delete cookies you've already set?

+
Absolutely. Your browser has a clear browsing data option that lets you delete cookies for specific sites or all sites at once. Just remember that deleting cookies will log you out and reset your preferences.

How often does this policy change?

+
We review it regularly and update it when we add new tracking technologies or change how we collect data. Major changes get announced through our site notifications. Minor clarifications happen quietly. The last update date at the top of this page shows when we made the most recent changes.

Other Tracking Technologies

Cookies aren't the only way we track site usage. We also use web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage. These work similarly to cookies but with some technical differences.

Web beacons are tiny transparent images that help us track email opens and page views. Pixel tags do similar things—they're embedded in pages to count visitors. Local storage lets us save data directly in your browser without using traditional cookie files.

All of these follow the same principles outlined in this policy. We use them to improve your experience and understand how people interact with our content.

For Taiwan Users

If you're accessing our site from Taiwan, you have specific rights under local privacy regulations. You can request to see what data we've collected, ask us to delete it, or opt out of certain types of tracking entirely.

We comply with Taiwan's Personal Data Protection Act and respect the privacy expectations of users in our local market. Your data stays secure, and we don't sell it to third parties.
