How We Use Cookies
Understanding what data we collect and why it matters for your experience
Your Cookie Preferences
Checking status...You can decline tracking cookies at any time. Essential cookies that keep the site working properly will remain active, but we'll stop collecting analytics and behavioral data.
What This Page Covers
We're going to be straightforward about how thinkconnectsys.com collects and uses data. This isn't a legal document written to confuse you. It's a practical explanation of what happens when you visit our site and what control you have over it.
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Some help the site function. Others track how you interact with our content so we can improve what we offer. You get to decide which category you're comfortable with.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These keep the site functioning. They remember your language preference, maintain your session, and handle form submissions. We can't disable these because the site wouldn't work properly without them.
Analytics Cookies
These show us which pages people visit most, how long they stay, and where they click. We use this information to figure out what content actually helps people and what needs improvement.
Preference Cookies
These remember choices you make, like display settings or form data you've entered before. They save you from having to re-enter information every time you visit.
What Each Type Does Specifically
Cookie Type | Purpose | Duration |
---|---|---|
Session Management | Keeps you logged in and maintains your browsing session | Until browser closes |
Site Analytics | Tracks page views, time spent, and navigation patterns | 24 months |
Form Memory | Remembers contact form entries to prevent data loss | 7 days |
Cookie Consent | Stores your cookie preference choice | 12 months |
How We Actually Use This Data
Here's what happens with the information we collect. When someone visits our site, we see which pages they look at and how they got there. This helps us understand whether our content about network equipment setup is actually useful to IT professionals in Taiwan.
For example, if we notice that visitors spend a lot of time on our router configuration guides but quickly leave our switch setup pages, that tells us the switch content probably needs work. We can then rewrite those sections with better explanations or more detailed diagrams.
Real Ways We Improve Based on Data
- We track which technical resources get downloaded most frequently to create more content in that format
- Page load times help us identify when images or scripts are slowing down your experience
- Click patterns show us if navigation menus make sense or if people struggle to find information
- Device type data ensures our site works properly on the phones and tablets our visitors actually use
- Geographic information helps us schedule availability correctly for Taiwan business hours
We don't sell this data to anyone. We don't share it with advertisers. It stays internal and gets used solely to make our site more helpful for businesses looking for network equipment support.
Third-Party Services We Work With
We use Google Analytics to process visitor data. They have their own cookies and privacy policies. When you visit our site, Google collects some information independently of us. Their privacy policy explains what they do with it.
If you decline tracking cookies through the button above, we'll signal to Google Analytics that you've opted out. They should respect that preference, though we can't guarantee how their systems process it on their end.
Other Services That May Set Cookies
- Contact form processing services that prevent spam submissions
- Content delivery networks that help pages load faster
- Font providers that serve typography files
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have several ways to control cookies. The button at the top of this page lets you decline all non-essential tracking. Your choice gets stored locally on your device for 12 months.
Your browser also has built-in cookie controls. Most browsers let you block all cookies, delete existing ones, or get notifications before new ones are set. Keep in mind that blocking essential cookies will break parts of the site.
Browser-Specific Controls
Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge all have cookie settings in their privacy menus. You can typically find them under Settings → Privacy → Cookies. Each browser handles this differently, so check their help documentation for specific steps.
Some browsers also offer "Do Not Track" settings. We respect these signals when we detect them, though not all analytics services honor them universally.
Data Retention and Deletion
Analytics data gets retained for 24 months, then automatically deleted. Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Preference cookies last until their expiration date or until you clear your browser data.
If you want us to delete data we've collected about your visits, contact us at the email below. We'll need some way to identify your data, which can be tricky since we don't collect personally identifiable information through cookies alone. But we'll work with you to address your request.
What Happens When You Clear Cookies
When you delete cookies from your browser, you'll lose any preferences you've set on our site. You'll also need to set your cookie preferences again because that choice is stored in a cookie itself. It's a bit circular, but that's how the technology works.
Updates to This Policy
We update this page when we change how we handle cookies. That might happen if we add new analytics tools, remove old ones, or respond to new privacy regulations. Major changes will be noted at the bottom with dates.
We don't send notifications about policy updates. If cookie practices are important to you, bookmark this page and check back occasionally. The last update date is always visible at the bottom.
