Understanding how Desktopblock uses tracking technologies to enhance your experience on our annual budgeting platform

Last Updated: January 15, 2025

What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device when you visit them. At Desktopblock, we use various tracking technologies including cookies, web beacons, and local storage to make your annual budgeting experience more personalized and efficient. These technologies help us remember your preferences, understand how you use our platform, and continuously improve our financial planning services.

Think of cookies as digital sticky notes that help our website remember important details about your visit. When you return to desktopblock.com, these notes help us recognize you and restore your previous settings, making your budgeting workflow seamless and tailored to your needs.

          Important: We never store sensitive financial
          information like bank passwords or account numbers in cookies. Our
          tracking focuses on improving user experience and platform
          functionality for our Thailand-based users and international clients.
        

Types of Tracking We Use

How Tracking Enhances Your Experience

Personalized Dashboard

We remember which budget categories you access most frequently and arrange your dashboard accordingly. This saves you time when managing your annual financial planning.

Session Continuity

If you're interrupted while working on your budget, our cookies help restore your progress and bring you back to exactly where you left off, preventing data loss and frustration.

Feature Optimization

By understanding which tools and features are most valuable to our users, we can prioritize improvements and develop new capabilities that truly meet your financial planning needs.

Security Enhancement

Certain cookies help us detect unusual activity patterns and protect your account from unauthorized access, adding an extra layer of security to your financial data.

Data Retention and Storage

Cookie Lifespan

Different types of cookies have varying lifespans based on their purpose. Session cookies expire when you close your browser, while persistent cookies may remain for several months to remember your long-term preferences. Essential cookies typically last for the duration of your session, while preference cookies might persist for up to one year.

Third-Party Services

Desktopblock integrates with carefully selected third-party services to enhance functionality and provide better analytics. These partners may place their own cookies on your device, but they are bound by strict data protection agreements and can only use information for the specific services they provide to us.

Our third-party integrations include analytics providers, content delivery networks, and security services. Each partner has been evaluated for their data protection practices and compliance with international privacy standards. We regularly review these relationships to ensure they continue meeting our high standards for user privacy.
