We use tracking technologies on nxt-ascend.com. Not
because everyone does it, but because they help us
understand how people actually use our platform.
Some cookies keep you logged in. Others tell us
which pages confuse people so we can fix them.
This policy explains what we track and why. You can
disable most of it if you want—though some things
won't work as smoothly.
What Are Cookies Anyway
Cookies are small text files. Your browser
stores them when you visit websites. They
remember things like your login status, language
preferences, or items you added to a project
workspace.
Some disappear when you close your browser.
Others stick around until you delete them
manually. We use both types.
Types We Use
Essential
These keep the site working. Without them,
you can't log in or save your work. They're
not optional.
- Session authentication tokens
- Security verification codes
- Load balancing identifiers
Functional
These remember your choices. Like theme
preferences or which sidebar you collapsed
last time.
- Interface layout settings
- Language selection
- Notification preferences
Analytics
We track which features get used and which
ones get ignored. Helps us decide what to
improve next.
- Page visit duration
- Feature interaction patterns
- Error occurrence tracking
Performance
These monitor loading speeds and system
response times. We use this data to optimize
slower sections.
- Page load metrics
- Server response timing
- Resource loading speeds
Third-Party Tracking
We use Google Analytics to see traffic patterns.
That means Google sets cookies too. They have
their own privacy policy about what they do with
that data.
Our hosting provider also sets technical cookies
for security and load distribution. Those are
necessary for keeping the site online.
How to Manage Them
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. The
settings are usually buried in the privacy section.
Fair warning—blocking everything might break login
or save functions.
You can also clear cookies manually whenever you
want. Just know you'll have to log back in and
reset your preferences.
How Long We Keep Them
Session cookies disappear when you close your
browser. Simple as that.
Persistent cookies stick around longer. Analytics
cookies usually expire after two years. Preference
cookies might last longer if you keep using the
site regularly.
You control this more than you think. Clear your
browser data and they're gone immediately.
Updates to This Policy
We update this when we add new tracking tools or
change how we collect data. Check the date at
the top to see when we last modified it.
Major changes get announced on our platform.
Minor clarifications just get updated here
without fanfare.
