Cookie and Tracking Policy
Last updated: March 2025
At EnergiConnective, we believe in being straightforward about how we track and store information when you visit our website. This policy explains what tracking technologies we use, why we use them, and how you can control your preferences. We've written this in plain language because nobody enjoys reading legal documents.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device. Think of them as digital breadcrumbs that help websites remember who you are and what you were doing. They're not programs and can't carry viruses. Most websites use them because they make the web work better.
When you visit energiconnective.com, we use several types of tracking technologies. Some are necessary for the site to function properly. Others help us understand how people use our resources so we can make improvements.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Cookies
Cannot Be DisabledThese cookies keep the website functioning. Without them, basic features won't work correctly.
- Session management for logged-in users
- Security tokens to prevent fraud
- Cookie consent preferences
- Language and regional settings
Functional Cookies
These remember your preferences and choices to make your experience more personalized.
- Your preferred interface settings
- Information you've entered in forms
- Custom display preferences
- Video playback settings
Analytical Cookies
We use these to understand how visitors interact with our content and which resources are most helpful.
- Page visit statistics
- Time spent on different sections
- Navigation patterns
- Error reporting and diagnostics
Marketing Cookies
These track your activity to help us show relevant information about our programs and services.
- Program recommendations
- Content personalization
- Campaign effectiveness measurement
- Interest-based suggestions
How Tracking Enhances Your Experience
Let me give you some real examples of how this works in practice. When you visit our learning program pages, cookies help us remember which courses you've viewed. If you come back later, we can show you related materials without making you start from scratch.
If you're researching budget creation methods and spend time on specific articles, we'll remember that interest. The next time you visit, we might highlight similar content or new resources in that area. It's similar to how a good bookstore clerk remembers what genres you like.
For users in Thailand, we store regional preferences so currency displays correctly and program schedules show in the appropriate timezone. These small details make a difference when you're planning your education journey.
Control Your Cookie Preferences
What Happens When You Decline?
If you choose to decline non-essential cookies, we'll only keep the ones necessary for the website to function. You'll still be able to access all our content and resources.
However, you might need to re-enter certain preferences each time you visit. We won't remember your interface choices or which content you've already viewed. The experience will be more generic but still fully functional.
Managing Cookies Through Your Browser
You can control cookies directly through your browser settings. Every major browser gives you options to block or delete cookies. Here's how to find those settings:
Common Browser Instructions
- Chrome: Go to Settings, then Privacy and Security, then Cookies and other site data. You can block all cookies or just third-party ones.
- Firefox: Open Options, select Privacy and Security, then look for the Cookies and Site Data section. Firefox offers standard, strict, and custom protection levels.
- Safari: Navigate to Preferences, click Privacy, and you'll see options to block cookies from websites and prevent cross-site tracking.
- Edge: Access Settings, choose Privacy, search and services, then scroll to Cookies and site permissions. Microsoft provides balanced, strict, and basic settings.
Keep in mind that blocking all cookies might break functionality on many websites, not just ours. Most people find that blocking third-party cookies while allowing first-party ones strikes a good balance.
Data Retention Practices
Different types of cookies have different lifespans. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Others stick around longer to remember your preferences across visits.
Retention Periods
Session Cookies: Deleted when you close your browser
Preference Cookies: Stored for up to 12 months
Analytics Cookies: Retained for 24 months
Marketing Cookies: Kept for up to 13 months
You can delete cookies manually at any time through your browser settings. This gives you complete control over what information remains on your device.
Third-Party Services
We use some third-party tools for analytics and functionality. These services may set their own cookies. We choose partners carefully and only work with companies that respect user privacy. You can review their individual privacy policies through links in their cookie notices.
Updates to This Policy
We review and update this policy periodically. When we make significant changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page. If changes affect how we use tracking technologies in major ways, we'll notify users through our website or email.
The web changes quickly, and so do privacy expectations. We're committed to staying current with both technology and user preferences. That means this policy evolves as our practices and the broader landscape shift.
