What Are Cookies and Why We Use Them

Cookies do different jobs around our website. Some remember your login details so you don't have to type them every time. Others help us see which pages get the most visits or where people tend to leave the site.

We use cookies to make your experience smoother and to understand what content resonates with people interested in finance education. They're not perfect, but they give us useful insights into how our site performs.

How Cookies Work

When you visit techsmartbridge.com, your browser receives small data files. These files contain a unique identifier and sometimes additional information like preferences or session data.

Your browser stores these files and sends them back to our server on subsequent visits. This lets us recognize you and remember things like whether you've accepted our cookie notice or which courses you viewed last time.

Types of Cookies We Use

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You control what happens with cookies on your device. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings menu. Keep in mind that blocking all cookies might affect how well our site works for you.

Browser-Level Controls

Each browser handles cookies differently. Here's how to access cookie settings in popular browsers:

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
• Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies and website data
• Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies come from services we use, like Google Analytics or embedded content. These third parties have their own privacy policies. We choose partners carefully, but you should know that clicking "reject all" above won't necessarily stop every third-party cookie.

For complete control, you might want to use browser extensions that block third-party tracking or adjust your browser's privacy settings to reject third-party cookies by default.

Data Retention and Your Rights

Different cookies have different lifespans. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Persistent cookies stick around for a set period — anywhere from a few days to a couple years, depending on their purpose.

You can delete cookies from your device anytime through your browser settings. This doesn't stop new cookies from being set on future visits unless you also block them in your browser preferences.

Your Data Protection Rights

• Request information about what data we've collected through cookies
• Ask us to delete cookie data associated with your visits
• Opt out of analytics and marketing cookies while keeping essential functionality
• Update your cookie preferences at any time by returning to this page

Changes to This Policy

We update this policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. When we make significant changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page.

If you're a regular visitor, it makes sense to check back periodically. We try to keep this information current and accurate, but technology and regulations both evolve pretty quickly.
