Understanding how we use tracking technologies to enhance your learning experience at GrowForwardNxt
Last Updated: March 15, 2025
At GrowForwardNxt, we believe in being upfront about how we collect and use information when you visit our website. This policy explains what cookies are, why we use them, and how you can manage them.
When you browse grow-forwardnxt.com, small text files get stored on your device. These help us remember your preferences, understand how people use our site, and improve your overall experience with our English vocabulary programs.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Think of cookies as little notes that websites leave on your computer or phone. They're just text files, nothing fancy. When you come back to our site, we can read those notes to remember things like whether you've visited before or what language settings you prefer.
These files don't do anything on their own. They can't run programs or deliver viruses. They just sit there holding information until your browser sends them back to us when you visit again.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These keep the website working properly. Without them, you wouldn't be able to navigate between pages or access secure areas. We need these to provide the basic service you're asking for.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices and preferences. Things like your preferred language or region settings. They make your experience more personalized without collecting data about your browsing elsewhere.
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand how visitors interact with our site. Which pages get the most traffic? Where do people spend their time? This helps us improve the content and structure of our learning resources.
Marketing Cookies
These track your journey across our site to build a profile of your interests. We can then show you relevant content about our vocabulary programs that actually matches what you're looking for.
How We Actually Use This Information
- Keep you logged in as you move between different pages during your session
- Remember which learning materials you've already viewed so we don't show them repeatedly
- Understand which vocabulary topics interest our visitors most
- Track how many people inquire about our programs through the contact form
- See if our remote learning tips are helpful based on time spent reading
- Identify technical problems that might be affecting user experience
- Test different versions of pages to see which layout works better
Taking Control of Your Cookies
You're not stuck with our cookies if you don't want them. Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies through their settings. Here's the general process:
Open your browser settings menu. Usually found under preferences, options, or the three-dot menu icon in the corner.
Look for privacy or security settings. Different browsers organize this differently, but it's typically in a section about privacy.
Find cookie controls. You can usually block all cookies, block third-party cookies only, or delete existing cookies from your device.
Choose your preference and save the changes. Keep in mind that blocking all cookies might affect how our site functions.
Duration and Storage
Not all cookies stick around forever. Some disappear as soon as you close your browser. Others hang around longer.
| Cookie Type | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Session Cookies | Until browser closes | Maintain your current browsing session |
| Preference Cookies | 6 months | Remember your language and display settings |
| Analytics Cookies | 2 years | Track long-term patterns in site usage |
| Marketing Cookies | 1 year | Show relevant content based on interests |
Third-Party Cookies
We're honest about this: some cookies on our site come from other companies. When we embed videos or use analytics tools, those services might place their own cookies on your device.
We don't control these third-party cookies. They're governed by the privacy policies of those external services. Before accepting cookies on our site, you might want to check the policies of these third parties if you're concerned about how they handle data.
Updates to This Policy
We update this policy occasionally as we add new features or as regulations change. When we make significant changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page.
If you visit regularly, it's worth checking back here every few months. We won't email you about minor updates, but major changes that affect how we handle cookies will be communicated more prominently on the site.
What Happens If You Block Cookies?
Being realistic here: some parts of our site might not work as smoothly if you disable cookies. You'll probably still be able to view most content, but features like staying logged in or remembering your preferences won't function.
The site will still be accessible, just less convenient. You'll need to re-enter information more often, and we won't be able to remember which sections you've already explored during previous visits.
Questions About Our Cookie Practices?
If something in this policy isn't clear or you want more details about how we handle cookies, get in touch with us. We're based in Bangkok and happy to answer questions.
