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

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

Data Retention and Storage

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.
