Cookie Usage Policy
Last Updated: February 2025
At brain-sparkzone.com, we're pretty straightforward about how we handle data collection. This policy explains what tracking technologies we use and why they matter for your experience with our budget categorization platform.
Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit websites. They help us remember your preferences and understand how people interact with our educational content. Some are necessary for basic functionality, while others help us improve what we offer.
What Tracking Technologies We Use
We deploy several types of tracking technologies on brain-sparkzone.com. Each serves a specific purpose in delivering our financial education services to users in Vietnam and beyond. Here's what you should know about each category.
Essential Cookies
These are non-negotiable for site functionality. Without them, you simply can't log into your account or access personalized budget tools. They handle authentication, security, and basic navigation.
- Session identifiers for secure login
- Security tokens that prevent unauthorized access
- Load balancing for optimal performance
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices so you don't have to reset preferences every visit. They store things like language selection, course progress, and interface customizations you've made.
- Your preferred dashboard layout
- Recently viewed learning modules
- Custom budget category configurations
Analytics Cookies
We track how people move through our site to identify what's working and what needs improvement. This helps us create better educational resources and fix navigation issues you might not even notice.
- Page visit duration and interaction patterns
- Popular course content and completion rates
- Technical errors and browser compatibility data
Marketing Cookies
These track your interests across sessions to show relevant course recommendations. They help us understand which programs resonate with different audiences and refine our outreach efforts.
- Course recommendation algorithms
- Email campaign effectiveness tracking
- Retargeting for previously viewed programs
How Long Do We Keep This Data?
Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Persistent cookies stick around longer—some for a few weeks, others up to two years depending on their purpose. Analytics data gets anonymized after 26 months, and marketing preferences expire after 13 months if you don't interact with our content.
Why This Matters for Your Experience
Look, we get that tracking can feel invasive. But here's the reality: these technologies directly impact how well our platform serves your financial education needs. When we see that Vietnamese users prefer certain budget categorization methods, we can develop more relevant content for that audience.
The functional cookies remember that you're working through a specific learning path, so you don't lose progress between sessions. Analytics show us which course modules cause confusion, prompting us to add better explanations or video walkthroughs. And yes, marketing cookies help us suggest programs that align with what you've already shown interest in.
Taking Control Through Your Browser
Every modern browser lets you manage cookie settings. You can block all cookies, allow only first-party ones, or delete existing cookies whenever you want. Just be aware that blocking essential cookies will break site functionality—you won't be able to log in or save preferences.

About Essential Cookies
We can't disable essential cookies because they're required for core functionality. These handle your login session, prevent security breaches, and ensure the site loads correctly. They don't track your behavior across other websites or build advertising profiles.
Essential cookies typically include authentication tokens, CSRF protection, and session management identifiers. They exist solely to make brain-sparkzone.com work as intended when you interact with our budget categorization tools and learning materials.
Third-Party Services
We work with external providers for analytics and course delivery infrastructure. Google Analytics helps us understand traffic patterns. Video hosting services track playback to ensure smooth streaming. Payment processors use their own cookies when you enroll in paid programs.
These third parties have their own privacy policies that govern how they handle data. We've chosen partners who meet strict data protection standards, but you should review their policies if you have specific concerns about how your information gets processed.
