Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 2025
BridgeDataNet uses tracking technologies on our website to make your experience better and help us understand how people interact with our platform. This policy explains what we track, why we do it, and how you can manage your preferences.
What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit websites. They help websites remember things about your visit—like your language preference or whether you're logged in.
We also use similar technologies like web beacons and pixel tags. These are tiny images embedded in web pages or emails that help us see if content has been viewed or if certain actions were taken.
Most of this happens in the background. You won't notice it, but it helps us keep the site running smoothly and give you relevant information.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Cookies
These keep the website functional. Without them, basic features wouldn't work properly. They handle things like security, network management, and making sure forms submit correctly. You can't really turn these off if you want to use the site.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices so you don't have to set preferences every time you visit. They store things like your language selection, whether you've seen certain notifications, or accessibility settings you've chosen.
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand how visitors use our site. Which pages get the most attention? Where do people click? How long do they stay? This information helps us improve the site layout and content. All data is aggregated and anonymized.
Marketing Cookies
These track your activity across different sites to build a profile of your interests. We use them to show you relevant information about our English learning programs. They also help us measure how effective our outreach efforts are.
How Tracking Enhances Your Experience
Here's what tracking actually does for you on our site:
- Remembers your login status so you don't get logged out constantly
- Keeps track of which course information you've already viewed
- Saves your form progress if you navigate away and come back
- Shows you program recommendations based on what you've looked at
- Helps us fix technical problems by identifying where errors occur
- Lets us know which content is most helpful so we can create more of it
For example, if you spend time looking at our business English materials, we might highlight related courses or resources when you return. It's about making your time on the site more efficient.
Third-Party Tracking
Some cookies come from services we use to run the website. Analytics platforms help us understand site traffic. Communication tools let you chat with our team. Video platforms host our learning content previews.
These third parties have their own privacy policies. We choose services that respect user privacy, but you should know they're collecting data too. We don't control what they do with it beyond our direct relationship with them.
Data Retention and Storage
Session cookies expire when you close your browser. They're temporary and gone as soon as you leave.
Persistent cookies stay on your device for a set period—anywhere from a few days to a couple years, depending on their purpose. Essential cookies might last longer, while marketing cookies typically expire after several months.
We review our tracking setup regularly and delete data that's no longer useful. There's no reason to keep outdated information sitting around.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have control over which cookies you accept. Your browser settings let you block or delete cookies entirely, though this might break some site features.
Browser Controls
Each browser works a bit differently. Most let you block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, or delete existing cookies. Some browsers also offer private browsing modes that don't store any tracking data.
If you block all cookies, you'll still be able to browse our site, but things like staying logged in or saving your course preferences won't work.
Updates to This Policy
We update this policy when we change how we use tracking technologies. Sometimes that's because we add new features. Other times it's because laws change or we find better ways to protect privacy.
Check the date at the top of this page to see when it was last revised. Significant changes will be announced on our website, but it's worth reviewing this occasionally if you're concerned about tracking.
Your Rights and Choices
You can request information about what data we've collected through cookies. You can ask us to delete it. You can opt out of marketing cookies while still using functional ones.
We're based in Cambodia, but we respect international privacy standards. If you're in a region with specific data protection laws, those rights apply to you when you use our site.
The process is straightforward: send us a request, we verify your identity, and we respond within a reasonable timeframe. Usually that's a few business days.
