What Are Cookies Anyway?

Cookies are tiny text files that get stored on your device when you visit websites. They're not programs—they can't run code or carry viruses. Instead, they store bits of information that help websites remember who you are between visits.

When you return to progxtool.com, your browser sends these cookies back to our server. This lets us recognize your preferences, keep you logged in, and tailor your experience. It's similar to a coffee shop barista remembering your usual order—except automated and privacy-conscious.

First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies come directly from us at ProgXTool. We use these to run the site properly and remember your settings. Third-party cookies come from external services we use—like analytics tools that help us understand user behavior patterns across the Thailand financial software market.

Types of Cookies We Use

Specific Cookies on Our Site

We periodically review which cookies we're using and remove any that no longer serve a clear purpose. The list above covers our primary tracking technologies as of January 2025.

How This Helps Your Experience

Here's what cookies do for you when using ProgXTool:

• Keep you logged in while you work on financial models and switch between tools
• Remember your preferred currency formats and calculation methods
• Save your customized dashboard layout so it looks the same each time
• Let us identify which features need improvement based on actual usage data
• Show you relevant educational content based on which tools you use most
• Prevent you from seeing the same tutorial or announcement repeatedly
• Help us detect unusual activity that might indicate security issues

Without cookies, every visit would feel like your first. You'd need to reconfigure your workspace, re-accept terms, and manually set preferences each time. Not a great experience when you're trying to analyze financial data efficiently.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have several options for controlling cookies. Keep in mind that blocking certain types might affect site functionality.

Data Retention and Your Rights

Different cookies have different lifespans. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Persistent cookies stick around for set periods—anywhere from 30 days to 24 months depending on their purpose.

We don't keep cookie data longer than necessary. Once a cookie expires or you delete it, that information is gone. Our analytics data gets anonymized within 48 hours, making it impossible to trace back to individual users.

Your Control Options

You can request to see what cookie data we've associated with your account. You can ask us to delete this information (though it might reset your preferences). And you can opt out of non-essential tracking entirely—just know that some personalization features won't work as smoothly.

For users in the Thailand market, we comply with local data protection standards. This means clear consent mechanisms, easy opt-out options, and transparent data handling practices.

Updates to This Policy

We update this cookie policy when we add new tracking technologies or change how we use existing ones. Any significant changes will be posted here with a new "Last Updated" date at the top.

If we introduce cookies that work substantially differently from what's described here, we'll notify active users through email or dashboard announcements. We won't silently add tracking that goes beyond what you've agreed to.

Check back occasionally if you're curious about our cookie practices. We try to keep this document clear and jargon-free—though some technical terms are unavoidable when explaining how web technologies work.
