Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 2025
At burstlyte.com, we believe in being upfront about how we collect and use data. This policy explains what tracking technologies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
When you visit our site, small data files get stored on your device. These help us remember your preferences and understand how people interact with our financial modeling tools and resources.
What Are Cookies and How Do They Work?
Cookies are tiny text files that websites place on your computer or phone. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help websites remember things about your visit.
When you come back to burstlyte.com, these files tell us it's you. They might remember your language preference, whether you're logged in, or which pages you visited last time. It's pretty straightforward.
Some cookies stick around for months or years. Others disappear the moment you close your browser. We use both types depending on what makes sense for the task at hand.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential
These keep the site working properly. Without them, you wouldn't be able to navigate between pages or access secure areas. They're not optional because they're fundamental to the site functioning at all.
Functional
These remember your choices and personalize your experience. If you've selected dark mode or set your currency preference, functional cookies store that information so you don't have to set it every single time.
Analytical
We use these to understand how visitors use our financial modeling resources. Which guides get read most? Where do people get stuck? This data helps us improve the experience for everyone who uses our tools.
Marketing
These track your activity across sites to show you relevant content. If you've been reading about cash flow modeling, you might see related resources. We only use marketing cookies with your consent.
How We Apply These in Practice
When you're working through our financial modeling courses, essential cookies keep you logged in. Functional cookies remember which module you were on last time. Analytical cookies tell us which lessons people find most helpful so we can create more content like that.
For our Vietnam market specifically, cookies help us serve content that's relevant to local financial practices and accounting standards. This means you see examples and case studies that actually apply to your work environment.
Third-Party Services
We work with a few external services that place their own cookies. These include analytics platforms that help us measure site performance and content delivery networks that make pages load faster.
Each third party has their own privacy policy. We've chosen services that take data protection seriously, but you should know that when you use burstlyte.com, you're also agreeing to how these partners handle data.
Here's who we currently work with:
- Analytics providers that show us which content resonates most with financial professionals
- Content delivery networks that speed up page loading times
- Video hosting services for our tutorial content
- Payment processors for course enrollment and subscriptions
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Every modern browser lets you control cookies. You can block them entirely, delete existing ones, or get notified each time a site wants to set one. The exact steps vary by browser:
Keep in mind that blocking all cookies might break certain features on our site. You won't be able to stay logged in, and we won't remember your preferences between visits.
Data Retention Periods
Different cookies stick around for different lengths of time. Session cookies vanish when you close your browser. Others might last anywhere from a few days to two years, depending on their purpose.
Essential cookies typically last for the duration of your session or up to 24 hours. Functional cookies might persist for several months so your preferences remain set. Analytical cookies usually expire after about 13 months.
We regularly review which cookies we're using and delete any that aren't serving a clear purpose anymore. If you want to clear all cookies from burstlyte.com right now, use your browser's history or privacy settings.
Your Rights and Control
You have complete control over how we track your activity. You can browse without accepting non-essential cookies. You can delete stored cookies at any time. You can ask us what data we've collected about your visits.
If you're in Vietnam or the EU, you have additional rights under local privacy laws. This includes the right to access your data, have it corrected, or request deletion. We respect these rights and process requests within the required timeframes.
Want to opt out of analytical tracking entirely? Most analytics services offer browser plugins that block their tracking across all websites. We support these tools and won't try to circumvent them.
Updates to This Policy
We update this policy when we add new tracking tools or change how we use existing ones. When we make significant changes, we'll notify you through a banner on the site or via email if you have an account.
The date at the top of this page shows when we last revised the policy. We recommend checking back occasionally if you're curious about what's changed.
