Understanding how we use tracking technologies to enhance your learning experience at Futuretechnode
We believe in transparency about how we collect and use data when you visit our website. This policy explains what cookies and similar tracking technologies we use, why we use them, and how you can control them. Think of this as your complete guide to understanding our digital footprint on your device.
What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device when you visit them. They're like digital sticky notes that help websites remember information about your visit. When you return to our site, these cookies help us recognize your browser and remember your preferences.
Besides traditional cookies, we also use web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage technologies. These work similarly to cookies but serve different purposes in improving your browsing experience. Some track how you interact with our content, while others help us understand which parts of our website are most valuable to visitors like you.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for our website to function properly. They enable basic features like page navigation, access to secure areas, and form submissions. Without these, our site simply wouldn't work as intended.
Performance Cookies
We use these to understand how visitors interact with our website. They help us identify popular content, track error messages, and see which pages get the most attention. This data helps us improve our educational resources.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices and preferences, like your preferred language settings or region selection. They make your experience more personalized and save you from having to re-enter information during subsequent visits.
Marketing Cookies
These cookies track your browsing habits to show you relevant educational content and program information. They help us understand which topics interest you most and ensure our communications are valuable to your learning journey.
How Cookies Enhance Your Experience
When you're exploring our UI/UX design courses, cookies help us remember where you left off in our program descriptions. If you're comparing different learning tracks, we can keep your selections saved even if you close your browser and return later.
For our Taiwan-based students, cookies help us display content in your preferred format and remember your timezone for scheduling purposes. This means course deadlines and live session times appear correctly for your location without you having to set preferences repeatedly.
We also use tracking data to improve our educational content. If we notice many students spending extra time on certain design concepts, we might create additional resources or expand those sections. Your browsing patterns help us understand which teaching methods work best.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have complete control over how cookies are used on your device. Most modern browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies through their settings menu. You can choose to block all cookies, allow only certain types, or set your browser to ask for permission before storing any cookies.
Here are the most common browsers and how to access their cookie settings:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies
- Firefox: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies and Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Site Permissions → Cookies and Site Data
- Opera: Settings → Advanced → Privacy and Security
Keep in mind that disabling certain cookies might affect your ability to use some features of our website. For example, without functional cookies, you might need to re-enter your preferences each time you visit.
Data Retention and Storage
Session Cookies
These are deleted automatically when you close your browser. They typically store temporary information like items in your course comparison list or your current position in our program information.
Short-term Cookies (1-30 days)
These remember your recent preferences and choices for about a month. They help maintain your settings across multiple visits and improve the continuity of your browsing experience.
Long-term Cookies (up to 2 years)
These store your fundamental preferences and help us understand long-term usage patterns. They enable us to show you relevant updates about programs you've shown interest in over time.
We regularly review and clean up stored data to ensure we're not keeping information longer than necessary. Our systems automatically delete expired cookies and remove inactive user data according to our retention schedules.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our website are set by third-party services we use to enhance your experience. For instance, if we embed educational videos from external platforms, those services might set their own cookies to remember your viewing preferences or track engagement.
We work with analytics providers to understand how our educational content performs. These third parties have their own privacy policies and cookie practices, which we encourage you to review. We only partner with services that meet our standards for data protection and user privacy.
Updates and Changes
As we add new features to our educational platform or change how we use tracking technologies, we'll update this policy accordingly. We typically review our cookie practices quarterly and make updates as needed to reflect current practices.
When we make significant changes that affect how we collect or use your data, we'll notify you through our website or by email if you're enrolled in our programs. We believe it's important that you stay informed about how your information is being used.
