Cookie Policy
Last Updated: February 2025
At WebDevFlux, we use tracking technologies to make your experience better. This policy explains what these small files do, why they matter, and how you can manage them. We're based in Ho Chi Minh City and serve clients throughout Vietnam who need help organizing their finances.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Think of cookies as tiny notes your browser keeps. When you visit webdevflux.com, we place these notes on your device. They remember things like whether you've been here before or which budget categories you were looking at last time.
These files don't harm your computer. They just sit there quietly, helping the website remember you. Most sites use them – it's become standard practice since the early 2000s.
The Different Types We Use
Essential Ones
These keep the site working properly. Without them, you couldn't log into your account or save your budget settings. They're non-negotiable for basic functionality.
Functional Helpers
These remember your preferences. Maybe you adjusted font sizes or chose specific currency displays. We store those choices so you don't have to set them every visit.
Analytics Trackers
We use these to see which features people actually use. If everyone ignores a certain budget tool, we know to improve it or remove it. The data stays anonymous.
Marketing Tools
These track which articles or features brought you here. We use this info to focus our content on what actually helps people manage their finances better.
How We Actually Use Them
Here's the practical side. When you first land on our site, we place a session cookie. It expires when you close your browser. Pretty straightforward.
If you create an account with us, we set a persistent cookie that lasts longer. This one remembers your login status for about 30 days. You can always log out manually to clear it sooner.
We track page visits to understand which budget categorization methods work best for Vietnamese users. Your individual financial data? That's stored separately and encrypted.
Third-Party Services
Sometimes we use external tools for analytics. These services place their own cookies. We've chosen providers who respect privacy regulations, but you should know they're there.
None of these third parties get access to your actual financial information. They only see general browsing patterns.
Taking Control of Your Cookies
How Long We Keep Them
Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. No exceptions.
Persistent cookies stick around longer. Our authentication cookies last 30 days. Analytics ones might stay for up to two years, depending on the service.
You can clear them anytime through your browser settings. Just remember – you'll need to log in again and reset your preferences.
Your Rights and Choices
Vietnamese data protection principles give you control over your information. You can refuse cookies entirely, though it might break some features on our site.
If you're using our budget tools regularly, we recommend allowing essential and functional cookies. The analytics and marketing ones? Those are truly optional.
- View which cookies are currently active on your browser
- Delete specific cookies while keeping others
- Set your browser to ask permission before accepting new ones
- Browse in private mode to avoid most tracking
Most modern browsers make this pretty easy. The settings are usually under Privacy or Security sections.
Changes to This Policy
We update this document when we change how we use cookies. The "Last Updated" date at the top tells you when we made the most recent changes.
Big changes? We'll notify active users through email. Small technical updates might just appear here without announcement.
Check back occasionally if you're curious. We don't change things often, but technology evolves.
