What Are Tracking Technologies?

Tracking technologies are small data files and scripts that websites use to remember your preferences, analyze site performance, and provide personalized experiences. At desktopflowconnect.com, we use several types of these technologies to ensure our cash flow budgeting platform works effectively for users across Thailand and beyond.

These technologies help us understand how people interact with our financial tools, which features are most helpful, and where we can improve the user experience. For example, they remember your dashboard layout preferences or keep you logged in between sessions.

We believe in transparency about what data we collect and how it's used. This policy explains each type of tracking technology we employ and gives you control over your preferences.

Cookie Categories & Management

We categorize our tracking technologies into four main groups, each serving different purposes on desktopflowconnect.com:

How We Use Tracking Data

The information collected through tracking technologies helps us provide better financial planning tools and user experiences. For instance, analytics data shows us which budgeting features are most popular, allowing us to prioritize improvements and develop new functionality that users actually need.

Functional cookies remember your dashboard preferences, so when you return to desktopflowconnect.com, your cash flow charts and budget categories appear exactly as you left them. This saves time and creates a more efficient workflow for managing your finances.

Marketing cookies help us understand which educational resources resonate with users, enabling us to create more relevant content about financial planning, budgeting strategies, and cash flow management. We never sell this data to third parties or use it for purposes unrelated to improving our platform.

Data Retention & Control

We retain tracking data for different periods depending on its purpose. Session cookies expire when you close your browser, while persistent cookies may remain for up to two years to remember your preferences. Analytics data is typically retained for 26 months to identify long-term usage patterns.

You can modify your cookie preferences at any time using the controls on this page or through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block all cookies, though this may affect site functionality. You can also delete existing cookies through your browser's privacy settings.

For users in the European Union or other regions with specific privacy regulations, we provide additional controls and comply with local requirements regarding consent and data processing.

Third-Party Services

Some tracking technologies on our site are provided by trusted third-party services like Google Analytics, which helps us understand user behavior patterns. These services have their own privacy policies and cookie management systems that govern how they handle data.

We carefully select third-party partners and require them to maintain high privacy standards. However, we recommend reviewing their privacy policies if you want to understand how they specifically handle your information beyond what we control on desktopflowconnect.com.

When you adjust settings on our site, we communicate your preferences to these third-party services where possible, though some may require you to opt out directly through their own systems.

Browser Configuration

Most modern browsers provide built-in tools for managing cookies and tracking preferences. In Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge, you can access these settings through the privacy or security sections of your browser preferences.

Many browsers now offer enhanced privacy modes or tracking protection features that automatically block certain types of cookies and scripts. While these can improve privacy, they may also affect how some features of our financial planning platform function.

If you experience issues with our budgeting tools or dashboard functionality, checking your browser's cookie settings is often a good first troubleshooting step. Essential cookies must be enabled for the platform to work properly.
