What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small text files that get stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit websites. They help websites remember things about your visit — like your preferences or whether you're logged in.

Beyond traditional cookies, we also use similar technologies like web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage. These work alongside cookies to provide a smoother experience when you're exploring our learning programs and course materials.

Think of these as the website's memory system. Without them, every time you navigate to a different page, the site would forget who you are and what you were doing.

Types of Tracking We Use

Not all cookies serve the same purpose. Here's how we categorize the different types of tracking technologies on our site:

How We Use This Information

The data we collect through cookies helps us improve the learning experience. For instance, if we notice that many students struggle to find specific course information, we can reorganize our navigation to make it easier.

We also use this data to personalize recommendations. If you've been browsing our web design courses, we might suggest related programs in front-end development or user experience design that align with your interests.

Analytics help us understand technical issues too. If certain pages load slowly or don't display correctly on specific devices, we can identify and fix those problems.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have control over most cookies through your browser settings. Every major browser lets you view, manage, and delete cookies. You can block all cookies, allow only certain ones, or get notified whenever a site tries to set a cookie.

Just know that blocking all cookies might break some functionality on our site. You might not be able to log in, your preferences won't be saved, and some interactive features might not work properly.

Your Rights and Choices

Beyond browser controls, you have additional rights when it comes to your data:

• You can request a copy of the data we've collected about you
• You can ask us to delete your personal information from our systems
• You can opt out of marketing communications at any time
• You can request corrections to any inaccurate information we hold
• You can withdraw consent for certain types of data processing

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our site come from third-party services we use. For example, if we embed a video from an external platform or use analytics tools, those services might set their own cookies.

We don't control how third parties use cookies, but we try to work only with services that respect privacy and handle data responsibly. You can usually opt out of third-party tracking through the service's own privacy settings or through industry opt-out tools.

Changes to This Policy

We update this policy occasionally to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or how we operate our website. When we make significant changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page and might notify active users through email or a banner on the site.

It's worth checking back here once in a while to stay informed about how we're handling cookies and tracking.
