Website Data Usage Policy
Understanding how Sharpdriftpoint uses cookies and tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience while respecting your privacy choices
What This Policy Covers
This policy explains how sharpdriftpoint.com uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website. We believe in being transparent about data collection – you deserve to know exactly what information we gather and why we need it.
When you browse our site, various types of data help us understand how people use our services, which pages are most helpful, and where we can improve the experience. Think of cookies as small notes that remember your preferences, so you don't have to start from scratch each time you visit.
We've organized this information to help you make informed decisions about your privacy. You'll find clear explanations of different tracking methods, what data each type collects, and most importantly, how to control what happens with your information.
Manage Your Cookie Preferences
Click above to opt out of all tracking and analytics cookies. Essential cookies for site functionality will remain active.
Essential Cookies (Cannot Be Disabled)
These cookies are necessary for basic website functionality and security. They handle things like keeping you logged in, remembering items in your cart, and protecting against security threats. Without these, the website simply wouldn't work properly.
- Session management and user authentication
- Shopping cart and form data retention
- Security and fraud prevention
- Load balancing and performance optimization
Types of Tracking Technologies We Use
Analytics Cookies
These help us understand which pages people visit most, how long they stay, and where they typically leave the site. This information guides our decisions about content and layout improvements.
Examples: Google Analytics, page view counters, bounce rate tracking
Preference Cookies
Remember your choices about things like language settings, contact form information, and display preferences. They make repeat visits more convenient by keeping your preferred settings.
Examples: Language selection, form auto-fill, display theme preferences
Performance Cookies
Monitor how quickly pages load and identify any technical issues. This data helps us optimize the website's speed and reliability for everyone.
Examples: Load time measurement, error tracking, server performance monitoring
How Long We Keep Your Data
Different types of cookies have different lifespans, depending on their purpose. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser, while others might stick around for months to remember your preferences.
- Session Cookies: Deleted when you close your browser
- Preference Cookies: Stored for 12 months to remember your settings
- Analytics Data: Aggregated and anonymized after 26 months
- Performance Data: Retained for 18 months to track improvements
We regularly review and delete outdated information. If you reject cookies or clear your browser data, any stored preferences will be removed immediately.
How Data Collection Improves Your Experience
Here's what tracking actually does for you as a visitor. When we see that people often leave on a particular page, we know something might be confusing there. If mobile users struggle with certain features, we can redesign them to work better on phones.
Analytics show us which game development topics generate the most interest, helping us create more relevant content. Performance monitoring catches slow-loading pages before they frustrate visitors. Form preferences mean you don't have to re-enter the same contact information multiple times.
The data helps us answer questions like: Are people finding what they need? Which services pages need better explanations? Should we reorganize the navigation menu? Without this feedback, we'd be guessing about improvements.
Your Control Options
Beyond our cookie rejection button, you have several ways to control tracking. Most browsers let you block cookies entirely, though this might break some website features. You can also delete existing cookies or set your browser to ask permission before accepting new ones.
Browser settings vary, but look for "Privacy" or "Security" sections in your browser preferences. There you'll find options to manage cookies by website, block third-party trackers, or clear all stored data.
If you use our rejection button above, we'll remember that choice and won't set non-essential cookies on future visits. Essential cookies will continue working to keep the site functional.
Third-Party Services
Some cookies come from external services we use to improve the website. Google Analytics helps us understand visitor behavior, while content delivery networks speed up page loading. These services have their own privacy policies that govern how they handle data.
We carefully choose third-party services based on their privacy practices and data protection standards. However, we recommend reviewing their policies directly if you want detailed information about their specific data handling procedures.
When you reject non-essential cookies, we also disable most third-party tracking services, though some essential functionality may still require external resources to work properly.
