Cookie and Data Usage Policy
Understanding how Study Code uses tracking technologies to enhance your learning experience while protecting your privacy
What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies
When you visit studycode.com, we use various tracking technologies to understand how you interact with our educational platform. Think of cookies as small digital notes that help us remember your preferences and improve your experience.
These technologies work behind the scenes to remember things like your language preferences, course progress, and which learning materials you've accessed. We don't collect anything that would make us uncomfortable if someone did the same to us.
Most of the data we gather is about how our website performs and which educational content resonates most with aspiring game developers. This helps us create better learning experiences for students interested in 3D environment creation.
Essential Cookies
These keep our platform running smoothly. They handle login sessions, security features, and basic navigation. Without these, you wouldn't be able to access course materials or submit assignments properly.
Functional Cookies
These remember your preferences like interface themes, preferred learning pace, and bookmark settings. They make your return visits more personalized without tracking your identity.
Analytical Cookies
We use these to understand which courses are most popular and where students might be struggling. This data helps us improve our curriculum and identify areas that need better explanation.
Marketing Cookies
These help us show relevant information about our programs to people who might benefit from game development education. They also help us understand which promotional content works best.
How We Use Your Data
Course Progress Tracking
We monitor which lessons you complete and where you spend the most time. This helps us understand which teaching methods work best and where we might need to provide additional support materials.
Performance Analytics
We track page loading times, error rates, and user interface interactions to maintain a smooth learning platform. If something isn't working well, we want to know about it quickly.
Content Optimization
By understanding which tutorials are most engaging and which topics generate the most questions, we can continuously improve our 3D environment creation curriculum.
Communication Preferences
We remember how you prefer to receive updates about new courses, industry insights, and program announcements, so we can communicate in ways that are most helpful to you.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have complete control over how tracking technologies work on your device. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies, though this might affect some website functionality.
Each browser handles privacy settings differently, but you'll usually find cookie controls under "Privacy" or "Security" settings. You can choose to block third-party cookies while allowing first-party ones, or disable tracking entirely.
Data Retention and Your Rights
Different types of data have different lifespans on our systems. Here's how long we typically keep various types of information:
- Session cookies Deleted when you close your browser
- Preference cookies Stored for up to 2 years
- Analytics data Aggregated and anonymized after 26 months
- Marketing cookies Expire after 90 days of inactivity
- Course progress data Maintained while you're an active student
Third-Party Services and Integration
We work with several trusted partners to deliver the best educational experience possible. Some of our course materials are hosted on external platforms, and we use professional analytics tools to understand website performance.
These partners have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them if you're curious about how they handle data. We only work with companies that share our commitment to student privacy and data protection.
When you interact with embedded content like video tutorials or interactive 3D models, those services may set their own cookies. We try to minimize this, but some advanced learning tools require external resources to function properly.
Updates to This Policy
We review and update this policy regularly to ensure it accurately reflects our practices and complies with current regulations. When we make significant changes, we'll notify active students through email and post updates on our website.
The most current version will always be available at studycode.com/cookie-policy, and we include the last update date at the top of the policy. We encourage students to review these terms periodically, especially if you have questions about how we handle data.
If you have concerns about any changes or questions about how your data is being used, don't hesitate to reach out. We believe transparency is essential in education, and that includes being open about our data practices.
