Cookie Policy
Last Updated: March 15, 2025
At VoltiSpark, we're pretty straightforward about how we track your activity on voltispark.com. This policy explains what tracking technologies we use and why. No hidden agendas here—just the technical stuff you need to know if you're curious about what happens when you visit our site.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit websites. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help websites remember who you are and what you've been doing. They're not programs—they can't search through your hard drive or spread viruses. They just sit there quietly, holding bits of information.
We use cookies on voltispark.com to make your experience smoother and to understand how people interact with our educational content about cryptocurrency and blockchain technology.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
Purpose: These keep the site functional. Without them, basic features won't work.
Examples: Session management, security features, load balancing across servers.
Duration: Most expire when you close your browser, though some stick around for up to 24 hours.
You can't really opt out of these if you want to use the site properly. They're the foundation.
Functional Cookies
Purpose: These remember your preferences and choices.
Examples: Language settings, display preferences, whether you've seen certain notices.
Duration: Typically 30 to 90 days, depending on what they're remembering.
The site will still work without these, but you'll have to set your preferences every single time you visit.
Analytical Cookies
Purpose: Help us understand how visitors use our educational platform.
Examples: Page views, time spent on different sections, navigation patterns, popular content.
Duration: Usually 12 to 24 months.
We use this data to improve our learning materials and course structure. No personal identification happens here—just aggregated statistics.
Marketing Cookies
Purpose: Track your activity across websites to show relevant content.
Examples: Retargeting pixels, conversion tracking, audience building.
Duration: Varies, but often 6 to 12 months.
These help us reach people who've shown interest in blockchain education. You can disable these through your browser settings without affecting site functionality.
Other Tracking Technologies
Besides cookies, we also use:
- Web Beacons: Tiny transparent images embedded in web pages that tell us if you've opened an email or viewed a specific page. They work with cookies to track activity.
- Local Storage: Similar to cookies but can store more data and doesn't get sent to our servers with every request. We use this for caching educational resources.
- Session Storage: Temporary storage that clears when you close your browser tab. Useful for maintaining state during your current visit.
- Analytics Scripts: JavaScript code that collects usage data in real-time. This helps us see which course modules are most engaging.
How This Improves Your Experience
Here's what tracking actually does for you on voltispark.com:
- Remembers where you left off in course materials so you can pick up right where you stopped
- Keeps you logged in so you don't have to authenticate every five minutes
- Saves your preferred display settings and interface choices
- Shows you content recommendations based on what you've already explored
- Helps us fix bugs by understanding where users encounter problems
- Allows us to measure which teaching approaches work best
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You're in control here. Every modern browser gives you options to manage cookies. The exact steps vary, but here's a general guide:
Browser-Specific Instructions
Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. You can block all cookies, block third-party only, or clear cookies when you close the browser.
Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. Firefox offers enhanced tracking protection by default.
Preferences → Privacy. Safari blocks most third-party cookies automatically but gives you granular control.
Settings → Cookies and site permissions. Edge now includes tracking prevention with three levels: Basic, Balanced, and Strict.
Keep in mind that blocking all cookies will break some site functionality. You might not be able to log in, for instance, or your preferences won't save.
