Cookie Policy
Last Updated: February 2025
We use tracking technologies on sparkglownet.com to make your experience better. This policy explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit our website. They help us remember your preferences and understand how you interact with our blockchain development tools platform.
Think of them as digital bookmarks that help the site recognize you when you return. Some stay for just one session, others stick around longer to remember your settings between visits.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies Required
These keep the website functioning. Without them, you wouldn't be able to navigate properly or access secure areas. We don't ask permission for these because the site simply wouldn't work without them.
Functional Cookies Optional
These remember your choices—like language preferences or region settings for our Taiwan market. They make your experience more personalized without tracking your broader browsing behavior.
Analytics Cookies Optional
We use these to understand which blockchain development resources are most helpful and where users get stuck. This information helps us improve our educational content and tools.
Performance Cookies Optional
These track how fast pages load and whether any technical issues pop up. They help us keep the platform running smoothly, especially when you're working with complex development tools.
How We Use Tracking Technologies
Beyond standard cookies, we also use similar technologies:
- Local Storage: Saves your code snippets and preferences directly in your browser so they're available even after you close the tab.
- Session Storage: Temporarily holds information during your current visit—like which tutorial you're working through—then clears when you leave.
- Pixel Tags: Tiny invisible images that help us understand which emails you open and which resources you find most useful.
- Web Beacons: Similar to pixels but specifically track whether content we shared actually helped you solve a problem.
Specific Cookie Details
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |

Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have complete control over which cookies you accept. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings menu.
Just be aware that blocking essential cookies will prevent parts of the site from working. You might lose access to your saved projects or have trouble logging in.
Browser-Specific Instructions:
Third-Party Cookies
Sometimes we work with other services that place their own cookies on your device. For example, if we embed a video tutorial, the video platform might set cookies to remember your playback preferences.
We carefully select partners who respect privacy, but their cookies are governed by their own policies, not ours. You can usually manage these through the same browser settings.
Data Retention: We keep cookie data only as long as necessary. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Others expire based on the durations listed above. You can always clear them manually through your browser settings.
Why This Matters for Blockchain Development
When you're working with our blockchain development tools, cookies help us provide a consistent experience. They remember which smart contract templates you've customized, which documentation sections you've bookmarked, and where you left off in tutorials.
Without these technologies, you'd have to start fresh every single visit. No saved preferences, no progress tracking, no personalized resource recommendations based on what you're building.
Updates to This Policy
As we add new features or change how we handle data, we'll update this policy. The date at the top shows when we last made changes. We recommend checking back occasionally, especially if you're concerned about privacy.
If we make significant changes that affect how we use tracking technologies, we'll notify you through email or a prominent notice on the site.
