Cookie Policy
Last updated: January 15, 2025
At AppDriveHub, we believe in being completely transparent about how we collect and use information when you visit our website. This policy explains what tracking technologies we use, why we use them, and how you can control them. We've tried to make this as straightforward as possible because nobody likes wading through legal jargon.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit websites. Think of them as little notes that help websites remember things about you, like your preferences or login status. They're not programs and can't carry viruses or install malware on your device.
We use cookies and similar technologies to make your experience on appdrivehub.com better and to understand how people use our site. Some of these are essential for the site to work properly, while others help us improve our services.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Cookies
These are necessary for our website to function. They help with basic things like page navigation and access to secure areas. Without these, the site simply wouldn't work properly.
Functional Cookies
These remember your preferences and choices, like your language settings or budget categories you've created. They make your experience more personalized.
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand how visitors interact with our site. Which features get used most? Where do people get stuck? This helps us make things better.
Performance Cookies
These track technical information about how the site performs on your device, helping us identify and fix issues that might affect your experience.
Specific Cookies We Deploy
Here's a breakdown of the actual cookies you'll encounter on our site. We've organized this so you know exactly what each one does and how long it sticks around.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | Maintains your login session and keeps you signed in | Session | Essential |
| user_preferences | Stores your display settings and budget view preferences | 12 months | Functional |
| analytics_token | Tracks page views and user interactions for site improvement | 24 months | Analytics |
| cookie_consent | Remembers your cookie preferences | 12 months | Essential |
| feature_test | Enables A/B testing of new features | 30 days | Performance |
How We Actually Use This Data
Let's get specific about what happens with the information we collect:
- We analyze which budgeting features are most helpful so we can improve the less popular ones
- We track error messages and loading times to identify technical problems before they affect too many people
- We monitor how long it takes users to complete tasks, which tells us if something's too complicated
- We see which educational resources get accessed most, helping us create more of what you actually need
- We track signup and onboarding completion rates to spot where people might be getting confused
- We measure how often people return to the site, which indicates whether we're providing real value
Important note: We never sell your data to third parties. Never. The information we collect through cookies stays within our systems and is used solely to improve AppDriveHub services. Your financial data and personal budgeting information remain completely separate from our tracking systems.
Third-Party Services
We work with a few trusted external services that may also use cookies on our site. These include analytics providers and content delivery networks that help us serve the site faster. These partners have their own privacy policies, and we've chosen them specifically because they respect user privacy.
Currently, we use analytics services to understand site traffic patterns and a content delivery network to speed up page loading times for users across Thailand and Southeast Asia. Each of these services is bound by their own privacy commitments.
Taking Control of Your Cookies
You have complete control over cookies. Most browsers let you block or delete them, though this might affect how some websites work. Here's how to manage cookies in popular browsers:
Keep in mind that blocking essential cookies will prevent you from logging in or using core features of AppDriveHub. Blocking functional or analytics cookies won't break anything, but might make your experience less personalized.
Data Retention and Storage
Different types of cookies stick around for different lengths of time. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period, ranging from 30 days to 24 months depending on their purpose.
We regularly review and clean up old cookie data. Analytics information gets aggregated and anonymized after six months, meaning we retain the patterns but not individual user data. Personal preference cookies last longer because they're meant to remember your settings between visits.
Updates to This Policy
We'll update this policy when we add new tracking technologies or change how we use existing ones. When we make significant changes, we'll notify you through the site and update the date at the top of this page.
It's worth checking back occasionally, especially if you're particular about your privacy settings. We don't make changes often, but when we do, we want you to know about them.
Your Rights Under Thai Law
As a service operating in Thailand, we comply with the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA). This means you have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data. You can also object to certain types of data processing or request that we limit how we use your information.
If you want to exercise any of these rights, reach out to us at the contact information below. We'll respond within 30 days and work with you to address your concerns.
Questions or Concerns?
If something in this policy isn't clear or you have specific questions about our cookie usage, we're here to help.
