What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. They're basically little notes that help websites remember who you are and what you've done on their site. Some cookies last just for your current session, while others stick around for weeks or months.
Most websites use cookies these days. They're not inherently bad — in fact, many make your browsing experience better. But you should know what's being tracked and have control over it.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Cookies
These keep the website running properly. Without them, basic features wouldn't work. You can't disable these because they're necessary for the site to function at all.
- Session management (keeps you logged in while you browse)
- Security features (protects against unauthorized access)
- Basic site navigation (remembers your current page)
- Form submission data (prevents duplicate submissions)
Functional Cookies
These remember your preferences and choices to make your experience smoother. They're helpful but not strictly necessary — the site works without them, just less conveniently.
- Language preference (remembers if you chose English)
- Display settings (dark mode vs light mode)
- Video player preferences (volume level, playback quality)
- Previously viewed content (so we don't show you the same thing twice)
Analytics Cookies
These help us understand how people use our site. We look at things like which pages get the most visits, how long people stay, and where they click. This information helps us improve the website over time.
- Page view tracking (which content is most popular)
- Visit duration (how long people spend reading)
- Traffic sources (how people found our site)
- Device and browser information (helps with technical improvements)
Marketing Cookies
These track your activity across different websites to show you relevant advertisements. They're the most intrusive type, which is why many people prefer to disable them.
- Ad targeting (shows you ads based on your interests)
- Conversion tracking (measures if ads led to sign-ups)
- Social media integration (sharing buttons and embedded content)
- Retargeting campaigns (ads that follow you around the web)
Why We Use Tracking Technologies
We track data for a few specific reasons. First, we need to understand which educational resources are actually helpful so we can create more of what works. If everyone bounces off a particular page within seconds, that tells us something needs to change.
Second, we want to personalize your experience. If you've shown interest in budget planning topics, we might highlight our upcoming budget strategy workshops. It's about making your time here more relevant to your actual needs.
And honestly, we also use some marketing cookies to reach people who might benefit from our education programs. We're a business operating in the Vietnam market, and we need to connect with potential students somehow.
How Long We Keep Cookie Data
Different cookies have different lifespans. Session cookies disappear the moment you close your browser. Others might last a few days, weeks, or even up to two years depending on their purpose.
Essential cookies typically last for your current session. Analytics cookies might stick around for up to 24 months so we can track long-term trends. Marketing cookies usually expire after 90 days, though some advertising platforms may set longer periods.
You can delete all cookies manually through your browser settings whenever you want. This resets everything, though you'll lose any saved preferences too.
Managing Your Preferences
You have several options for controlling cookies. The simplest way is to click the "Decline All Tracking" button at the top of this page. That stops everything except essential cookies immediately.
You can also configure your browser to block certain types of cookies or reject all cookies entirely. Keep in mind that blocking all cookies might break some website features.
Here's how to manage cookies in popular browsers:

View InstructionsThird-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our site come from external services we use. For example, if we embed a video from a hosting platform, that platform might set its own cookies. We don't control those third-party cookies directly.
We try to be selective about which external services we integrate. But you should know that clicking on embedded content or external links might result in additional tracking by those third parties under their own privacy policies.
Updates to This Policy
We update this policy occasionally when we change how we use cookies or when regulations require it. The "Last Updated" date at the top shows when we last made changes.
If we make significant changes to how we collect or use data, we'll notify you through a banner on the website or via email if you're enrolled in our programs.
