What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device. They're pretty standard across the internet. When you return to a site, these files help it recognize you and remember certain information.

We also use other tracking methods like web beacons (tiny images embedded in pages) and local storage (which keeps data in your browser). Each serves a specific purpose, from keeping you logged in to understanding which pages get the most attention.

Think of them as digital bookmarks. They make browsing smoother by storing bits of information so the site doesn't have to start from scratch every time you visit.

Types of Tracking We Use

How We Use This Information

The data we collect helps us run a better website. Here's what that actually means in practice:

• We analyze traffic patterns to see which service pages get the most interest from potential clients in Taiwan.
• We track where visitors come from (search engines, referrals, direct visits) to understand what's driving traffic.
• We monitor technical performance—page load times, errors, broken links—so we can fix issues quickly.
• We test different layouts or content approaches to see what resonates better with visitors.
• We remember your contact form inputs so you don't have to retype everything if something goes wrong.
• We measure how many people complete specific actions, like requesting consultations or downloading resources.

Nothing here is about surveillance. It's about understanding user behavior in aggregate so we can make informed decisions about the website.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

Most browsers give you control over cookies. You can block them entirely, delete existing ones, or set rules for which sites can use them. Keep in mind that blocking all cookies will probably break some functionality on this site and others.

There are also third-party tools that give you more granular control. Browser extensions like Privacy Badger or uBlock Origin can block trackers automatically. Just be aware that aggressive blocking can cause unexpected behavior on some sites.

Third-Party Services

We use external services that may set their own cookies. For example, if we embed analytics tools or social media widgets, those providers might track your activity according to their own policies.

We try to minimize third-party tracking, but some services are necessary for running a professional website. When we do use external tools, we choose providers that respect user privacy and comply with data protection regulations.

Data Retention

Different cookies have different lifespans. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Persistent cookies stick around for a set period—anywhere from days to years, depending on their purpose.

We review our tracking technologies regularly and delete data that's no longer useful. Essential cookies typically last only as long as your browsing session. Analytical data might be stored for several months to identify trends. Marketing cookies vary depending on the provider.

You can clear cookies manually at any time through your browser settings. This will remove stored information and reset your preferences on the site.

Updates to This Policy

We update this policy when we change how we use cookies or add new tracking technologies. Major changes will be reflected in the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.

If we make significant changes—like adding new categories of tracking or working with different third parties—we'll notify visitors through a banner or announcement. It's worth checking back occasionally if you're concerned about how your data is handled.
