What Are Cookies and How We Use Them

Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device when you visit them. At Futuresparkbridge, we use these technologies to make our performance testing and optimization services work better for you. Think of them as helpful notes that remember your preferences and help us understand how our site performs.

We're honest about this stuff because trust matters in our business. When you're choosing someone to handle your application's performance testing, you want to know they handle data responsibly. That includes being upfront about the tracking technologies we use on our own website.

Types of Data Collection We Use

Different cookies serve different purposes on our site. Some are absolutely necessary for basic functions, while others help us improve our services or understand how visitors interact with our content about performance testing solutions.

Specific Information We Collect

Here's exactly what gets tracked when you visit our site. We believe in being specific rather than hiding behind vague legal language that nobody understands.

• Page Views and Time: Which service pages you visit, how long you spend reading about our performance testing approaches, and what content keeps your attention

• Device Information: Browser type, screen size, and basic technical details that help us ensure our site works properly on different devices

• Location Data: General geographic area (city level) to understand where our potential clients are located and tailor content accordingly

• Interaction Patterns: Which buttons you click, forms you start filling out, and how you navigate through information about our services

• Referral Sources: How you found us - search engines, direct visits, or links from other sites discussing performance testing

How This Improves Your Experience

Data collection isn't just about us - it actually makes the site work better for people researching performance testing services. When we understand how visitors use the site, we can organize information more effectively.

For example, if we notice lots of people jumping straight to our infrastructure details, we might reorganize our navigation to make that easier to find. If people spend a long time on our pricing page, that tells us to add more detailed explanations there.

The analytics also help us spot technical issues. If we see people leaving suddenly from a particular page, that might indicate a loading problem or confusing content that needs fixing.

How Long We Keep This Information

Different types of data get stored for different periods, depending on their purpose and legal requirements. Here's our retention schedule:

️ Managing Your Privacy Settings

You have several options for controlling how we track your visits. The simplest approach is using the rejection button above, which removes all non-essential cookies immediately.

Beyond our site controls, your browser also has privacy settings. Most modern browsers let you block third-party cookies, clear existing cookies, or browse in private mode. These browser-level controls work alongside our site's privacy options.

If you're using ad blockers or privacy extensions, they might already be limiting some tracking. Our rejection button works independently of these tools, so you can use both approaches together.

Third-Party Services and External Tracking

Some tracking comes from external services we use to run our business effectively. Google Analytics helps us understand site performance, while social media platforms may add their own tracking if you interact with embedded content.

When you reject cookies through our controls, we also send signals to these third-party services to limit their tracking where possible. However, some external tracking might continue based on your direct relationship with those services.

For complete control over third-party tracking, consider adjusting your privacy settings directly with Google, Facebook, and other platforms you use regularly. This affects tracking across all websites, not just ours.
