Cookie Policy
Last Updated: January 15, 2025
This policy explains how byteonnet.com uses tracking technologies to improve your browsing experience. We believe in transparency about the data we collect and why we collect it.
When you visit our website, small text files get stored on your device. These help us remember your preferences and understand how people interact with our budgeting resources.
What Are Tracking Technologies
Think of these as tiny helpers that live temporarily on your device. They remember things like your language preference or whether you've seen a particular message before.
We use several types of tracking methods. Some are absolutely necessary for the site to work properly. Others help us understand which budget planning tools you find most useful so we can make them better.
The data collected is typically anonymous. We're more interested in patterns than individual behavior. For instance, knowing that most visitors struggle with the same budgeting concept helps us create better educational content.
Types of Tracking We Use
Strictly Necessary
These keep the website functional. Without them, basic features like navigation and access to secure areas wouldn't work.
You can't opt out of these because the site literally needs them to operate. But they don't track you across other websites or collect personal information.
Preference Tracking
These remember your choices. Things like text size preferences or whether you've dismissed certain notifications.
They make your experience smoother. The site remembers you've already seen the welcome tour, so it doesn't show it every single time you visit.
Performance Monitoring
We use these to understand how visitors use our budgeting tools. Which pages get the most attention? Where do people tend to drop off?
This information is aggregated and anonymized. We're looking at trends, not tracking individual users. It helps us prioritize which features to improve first.
Educational Outreach
These help us show you relevant educational content about financial literacy and budget management.
If you've been reading about expense tracking, we might show you resources about savings goals. The aim is relevance, not bombardment.
How We Use This Information
The primary goal is improving your learning experience. When we see that certain budget templates get downloaded frequently, we know to create more like them.
Specific Ways We Apply This Data
- Identifying which financial topics confuse people most often
- Testing different layouts to see which helps users find information faster
- Remembering your progress through multi-step budget planning tools
- Understanding peak usage times to ensure servers can handle traffic
- Measuring how changes to our educational content affect engagement
- Detecting technical problems that might prevent tools from working properly
We never sell your data to third parties. Information collected stays within our organization and is used solely to enhance the educational resources we provide to the Vietnamese market.
Managing Your Preferences
Taking Control of Your Data
You have complete control over non-essential tracking. Most modern browsers let you manage these preferences directly.
Keep in mind that blocking certain types might affect functionality. For example, if you disable functional tracking, the site won't remember that you prefer viewing amounts in millions versus thousands.
Browser-Specific Instructions
Each browser handles this differently. Here's where to look:
- Chrome users can find settings under Privacy and Security
- Firefox has a dedicated section called Enhanced Tracking Protection
- Safari users should check Preferences then Privacy
- Edge combines these under Settings and Privacy options
Most browsers also offer private or incognito modes. These prevent any tracking for that session, though the site experience might be limited since it can't remember your preferences.
Third-Party Services
We occasionally use external services for specific functionality. For instance, analytics tools that help us understand site performance.
These third parties have their own privacy policies. We carefully select partners who respect user privacy and comply with international data protection standards.
Current Third-Party Integrations
As of early 2025, we work with analytics providers who help track general website performance. These services receive anonymized data and can't identify individual users.
Before integrating any new third-party tool, we review their data handling practices. Your privacy matters more than convenient features.
Data Retention and Storage
How Long We Keep Information
Different tracking technologies have different lifespans. Session-based ones disappear when you close your browser. Others might last several months to remember your preferences.
Analytics data gets aggregated and anonymized after 90 days. We keep the patterns and insights but delete anything that could identify individual visitors.
You can clear stored data anytime through your browser settings. This essentially gives you a fresh start as a new visitor.
Where Data Lives
Our servers are located in secure data centers with appropriate protections. We follow industry-standard security practices to prevent unauthorized access.
While we're based in Ho Chi Minh City, some analytics services might process data in other locations. We ensure these transfers comply with applicable privacy regulations.
Updates to This Policy
Technology changes. Privacy regulations evolve. We review this policy regularly to ensure it reflects current practices.
When we make significant changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page. For major revisions, we might add a notification on the homepage so returning visitors know something has changed.
Checking back occasionally makes sense, especially if you're particularly concerned about privacy. We won't introduce sneaky changes without notice.
Your Rights and Choices
Beyond browser controls, you have broader rights regarding your data. You can request information about what we've collected. You can ask us to delete it entirely.
If you live in a jurisdiction with specific privacy laws, those protections apply. The Vietnamese market context means we're mindful of both local expectations and international standards.
Exercising Your Rights
Send us a request through the contact information below. We'll respond within a reasonable timeframe, typically within two weeks.
Some requests might require verification of your identity. This protects your information from being accessed by someone pretending to be you.
Questions About This Policy?
Reach out if anything seems unclear. We'd rather answer questions than have you confused about how your data gets used.
