What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device when you visit them. They help websites remember your preferences and understand how you interact with their content. Think of them as digital notes that help us provide you with a better experience each time you return.

We also use similar technologies like local storage, session storage, and pixels. These work alongside cookies to help us analyze how users interact with our financial analysis tools and improve our platform based on real usage patterns.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies We Cannot Disable

How We Use Tracking Technologies

Session Management

When you log into your flash-think account, we create a secure session cookie that remembers you're authenticated. This prevents you from having to re-enter credentials every time you navigate to a different page. The session expires after a period of inactivity or when you explicitly log out.

Performance Monitoring

We track how quickly our platform loads, where bottlenecks occur, and which tools experience the most demand. This data comes from analytics cookies that measure page load times, server response rates, and feature usage frequency. It's all anonymized — we see patterns, not individuals.

Feature Development

Understanding which financial analysis tools get the most use helps us prioritize development. If we notice that most users access the cash flow forecasting module but rarely use the depreciation calculator, that tells us where to focus improvements.

Content Personalization

Based on which educational resources you read and which tools you use most frequently, we might suggest related articles or tutorials. This relies on functional cookies that remember your interests without tracking your identity.

Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

Every major browser provides tools to control cookie behavior. Here's how to access these settings in the most commonly used browsers:

Third-Party Cookies and External Services

Some cookies on flash-think.com come from third-party services we integrate with to provide comprehensive financial analysis capabilities. These include analytics platforms that help us understand user behavior and content delivery networks that ensure fast, reliable access to our tools.

Analytics Providers

We use industry-standard analytics tools to measure site performance and user engagement. These services collect anonymized data about page views, session duration, and feature usage. The information helps us identify which aspects of our platform work well and which need improvement.

Security Services

Third-party security providers help us protect against malicious traffic, DDoS attacks, and unauthorized access attempts. These services may place cookies to distinguish legitimate users from potential threats.

Content Delivery

To ensure fast loading times for users across Thailand and internationally, we use content delivery networks. These may set cookies to optimize routing and caching strategies.

Data Retention and Your Rights

We retain cookie data for varying periods depending on its purpose. Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Functional cookies typically last one year. Analytics cookies may persist for up to two years to enable long-term trend analysis.

Your Control Options

• Request information about what cookie data we've collected related to your usage
• Ask us to delete non-essential cookies associated with your account
• Opt out of marketing cookies while maintaining access to functional features
• Receive a copy of your cookie preference settings
• Update your consent choices at any time through the control panel above

When you reject non-essential cookies, we store that preference in local storage so we can honor your choice across future visits. This means we need to keep at least one piece of data — your rejection preference itself.

Changes to This Policy

As we develop new features and integrate additional tools into flash-think.com, our use of cookies may evolve. We review this policy regularly and update it whenever our practices change significantly.

When we make substantial updates, we'll notify active users through email and display a prominent notice on the platform. The "Updated" date at the top of this page always reflects when the last changes were made.

We recommend checking this page periodically, especially if you have specific concerns about data collection or tracking technologies.
