Cookie and Data Usage Policy
At IntellectFlow, we believe in transparency about how we collect and use information on our website. This policy explains our use of cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience with our user acceptance testing coordination services.
What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit intellect-flow.com. Think of them as digital memory aids that help our website remember your preferences and improve your browsing experience.
We also use related technologies like web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage. These work alongside cookies to help us understand how visitors interact with our content and services.
When you're exploring our testing coordination solutions or learning about our Taiwan-based services, these technologies help us provide relevant information and ensure our website functions smoothly across different devices and browsers.
How Tracking Enhances Your Experience
Our tracking technologies serve several practical purposes. They remember your language preferences, keep you logged into our client portal, and help us understand which sections of our site are most useful to software development teams.
For instance, if you're researching our testing methodologies, cookies remember where you left off so you can easily continue reading during your next visit. They also help us identify technical issues and improve page loading speeds.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These are necessary for basic website functionality. They enable core features like secure login to our client dashboard, form submissions for project inquiries, and maintaining your session while browsing our testing documentation.
Without these cookies, you wouldn't be able to access password-protected areas or submit contact forms. They're automatically activated and cannot be disabled if you want to use our website's full functionality.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices and preferences to personalize your experience. They store settings like your preferred contact method, previously downloaded resources, and customized dashboard layouts for returning clients.
Functional cookies also remember if you've participated in our satisfaction surveys or accessed specific testing guides, helping us avoid showing you the same prompts repeatedly.
Analytical Cookies
We use these to understand website performance and visitor behavior patterns. They help us see which testing methodologies generate the most interest, how long visitors spend reading our case studies, and where people typically exit our site.
This data helps us improve content organization and identify popular topics that might benefit from expanded coverage. All analytical data is aggregated and doesn't identify individual users.
Marketing Cookies
These track your interests across visits to show more relevant content and measure the effectiveness of our outreach efforts. They help us understand which services appeal to different types of software teams and companies.
Marketing cookies also prevent you from seeing the same promotional content repeatedly and help us gauge interest in new testing coordination features we're developing.

Third-Party Services and Integration
