Cookie Policy
Last Updated: January 15, 2025
At Thinksharpconnection, we believe in being upfront about how we collect and use data when you visit our website. This policy explains what tracking technologies we use, why we use them, and how you can control them.
We use cookies and similar technologies to make our site work properly, understand how people interact with our content, and improve your experience. Some of these are essential for the site to function, while others help us learn what's working and what isn't.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit websites. They help sites remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how you use the site.
Think of them as digital sticky notes—some are critical (like remembering items in your cart), while others are more about analytics and understanding visitor behavior.
Cookies can be "session" cookies (which disappear when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (which stick around until they expire or you delete them manually).
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These keep the website functioning and secure. Without them, basic features wouldn't work. For example, they remember your session as you navigate between pages and maintain security settings. You can't opt out of these because they're necessary for the site to operate.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices—like language preferences or region settings—so you don't have to reset them every visit. They make your experience more convenient but aren't strictly necessary for the site to work.
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand how visitors interact with our site. Which pages get the most attention? Where do people spend time? This data helps us improve content and navigation. The information is aggregated and anonymous—we're not tracking individuals.
Marketing Cookies
These track your activity across websites to build a profile of your interests. They're used to show you relevant ads on other sites. If you'd rather not see targeted ads from us, you can opt out using the controls below.
Specific Cookies on Thinksharpconnection.com

You can control which non-essential cookies we use. Essential cookies will remain active to keep the site functioning properly.
Current Status: Cookies Accepted
How to Control Cookies Through Your Browser
You're not limited to our controls. Every browser gives you the ability to manage cookies independently. Here's how:
Chrome
Go to Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data. You can block all cookies, block third-party cookies, or clear cookies after each session.
Firefox
Navigate to Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data. Firefox offers standard, strict, or custom tracking protection levels.
Safari
Open Preferences > Privacy. You can block all cookies or just third-party cookies. Safari also offers intelligent tracking prevention by default.
Edge
Head to Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Cookies and site data. Similar options to Chrome for managing and clearing cookies.
Keep in mind that blocking all cookies might break some functionality on websites you visit. Most sites need at least essential cookies to work properly.
Third-Party Cookies and Services
We use some third-party services that may set their own cookies. For instance, if we embed a video or use analytics tools, those providers might place cookies on your device.
We don't control how third parties use cookies, so we recommend reviewing their privacy policies if you want details. The main third-party services we use include Google Analytics for site metrics and occasional embedded content from platforms like YouTube or LinkedIn.
Data Retention
Different cookies stick around for different lengths of time. Session cookies vanish when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain until their expiration date or until you manually delete them.
Analytics data we collect is typically retained for 26 months before being automatically deleted. If you reject non-essential cookies, your preference is stored in your browser's local storage so we remember your choice next time you visit.
Updates to This Policy
We might update this policy occasionally as our practices change or as regulations evolve. When we make significant changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page.
We won't reduce your rights under this policy without your explicit consent. If you have concerns about changes, feel free to reach out to us directly.
