How We Use Tracking Technologies
Our video editing services website uses several types of data collection methods to understand how visitors interact with our content and to improve your experience. We're transparent about what we collect and why.
When you browse desktopforcesmart.com, we gather information about which pages you visit, how long you stay, and what content interests you most. This helps us create better resources for couples planning their wedding videos and understand which of our editing styles resonate with different audiences.
Essential vs. Optional Data Collection
Some data collection is necessary for basic site functionality – these are our essential cookies that cannot be disabled. Others help us improve our services but aren't required for the site to work properly. You have control over the optional tracking.
Types of Data Collection We Use
Essential Functionality Cookies
Cannot be disabled
These keep the website working properly. They remember your language preference, maintain your session when you contact us, and ensure forms submit correctly. Without these, basic site functions would break.

Marketing & Advertising Cookies
Optional – you can opt out
These help us show relevant ads about our video editing services on other websites you visit. If you've looked at our wedding packages, you might see related ads on social media or other sites.
