This policy explains how EnlightWave uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website. We believe transparency matters when it comes to how we collect and use data about your visit.
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit websites. They help us remember your preferences, understand how you interact with our content, and improve our services over time.
What Are Cookies and How Do They Work?
When you visit enlightwave.com, our server sends a small data file to your browser. Your browser stores this file, and sends it back to our server during subsequent visits. This exchange happens automatically and helps create a smoother browsing experience.
Some cookies expire when you close your browser, while others remain on your device for longer periods. We use both types depending on their purpose.
Essential Cookies
These keep the website functioning properly. Without them, basic features like navigation and secure access wouldn't work. You can't opt out of these because they're necessary for the site to operate.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices and preferences. Things like language settings, display options, or form data you've entered. They make repeat visits more convenient.
Analytical Cookies
We use these to understand how visitors interact with our content. They tell us which pages get viewed most, how long people stay, and where they came from. This helps us improve what we offer.
Marketing Cookies
These track your browsing activity across sessions to help us understand your interests. We might use this information to show relevant content or measure how effective our communications are.
Tracking Technologies We Use
Beyond traditional cookies, we employ several other methods to collect information about your visit:
- Web beacons and pixel tags that track email opens and page views
- Local storage that keeps data in your browser for faster performance
- Session storage for temporary information that clears when you close your browser
- Server logs that record technical information about requests made to our website
- Device fingerprinting that helps us detect unusual patterns or security issues
Why We Use These Technologies
Security and Authentication
We verify your identity when you log in and protect against unauthorized access attempts. This includes detecting suspicious activity patterns.
Performance Optimization
We monitor load times, identify technical issues, and optimize content delivery. This ensures pages load quickly and function smoothly across different devices.
Content Personalization
We remember your preferences and tailor content based on your interests. This might include showing relevant blockchain solutions or documentation sections.
Usage Analysis
We track which features get used most, where visitors encounter difficulties, and how people navigate through our resources. This guides our development priorities.
Communication Effectiveness
When we send emails or newsletters, we track opens and clicks to understand what topics resonate with our audience. This helps us provide more relevant information.
Research and Testing
We sometimes test different versions of pages or features to see what works best. Cookies help us show consistent experiences during these tests.
First-Party Cookies
These come directly from enlightwave.com and only we can read them. They handle most of the essential and functional purposes described above.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies come from external services we use, like analytics platforms or content delivery networks. These organizations have their own privacy policies that govern how they use data.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have several options for controlling how cookies work on your device. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings menu.
Chrome
Navigate to Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. You can block all cookies or create exceptions for specific websites.
Firefox
Go to Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. Firefox offers enhanced tracking protection with different levels of strictness.
Safari
Open Preferences → Privacy → Cookies and website data. Safari blocks third-party cookies by default and offers intelligent tracking prevention.
Edge
Access Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data. Edge provides options similar to Chrome with additional tracking prevention.
Keep in mind that blocking certain cookies might affect how our website functions. Essential features require specific cookies to work properly.
How Long We Keep Cookie Data
Cookie retention periods vary based on their purpose. Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Preference cookies might last several months or years so we don't forget your settings. Analytics cookies typically expire after a few months, though some may persist longer for trend analysis.
Your Rights and Control
You maintain control over your data. Beyond browser settings, you can contact us directly to request information about what data we've collected or ask us to delete specific information.
If you're accessing our site from Taiwan, you have specific rights under local data protection regulations. These include the right to access your data, request corrections, or limit how we process certain information.
We update this policy periodically as our practices evolve or regulations change. When we make significant changes, we'll post a notice on our website and update the date at the top of this page.
