Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help websites remember information about your visit. At Smartiqw, we use various tracking technologies including cookies, web beacons, and similar tools to enhance your experience on our platform.

These technologies serve multiple purposes – from keeping you logged in during your session to understanding which parts of our IT education platform are most valuable to our users. We believe in transparency about how these tools work and why we use them.

Beyond traditional cookies, we also employ pixel tags, local storage, and session storage to provide seamless functionality across our full-stack development courses and learning resources. Each technology serves a specific purpose in delivering our educational services effectively.

Our tracking technologies help us create a better learning environment for everyone. When you browse our full-stack development courses, we gather insights about which programming languages generate the most interest, which tutorial formats are most effective, and how we can improve our educational content.

Different types of cookies have different lifespans based on their purpose. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser, while persistent cookies might stay on your device for months or years, depending on their function.

Essential cookies typically last for the duration of your browsing session. Functional cookies that remember your preferences might persist for several months. Analytical cookies usually have a lifespan of up to two years, allowing us to understand long-term trends in how our educational platform is used.

We regularly review and clean up stored data, removing information that's no longer necessary for providing our IT education services. You have the right to request deletion of your tracking data at any time by contacting our support team.

You have complete control over how cookies are used on your device. Most web browsers allow you to manage cookie settings through their preferences or settings menu. Here's how you can control cookies in popular browsers:

Please note that disabling certain cookies might affect your experience on our platform. Essential cookies cannot be disabled as they're necessary for basic website functionality. However, you can opt out of analytical and marketing cookies while still accessing our educational content.

Our platform integrates with various third-party services to provide comprehensive IT education. These services may place their own cookies on your device when you interact with embedded content, social media features, or external learning resources.

We work with educational technology partners, analytics providers, and content delivery networks that may use tracking technologies. While we carefully select our partners based on their privacy practices, they operate under their own privacy policies and cookie practices.

Some examples include video hosting services for our programming tutorials, code repositories for practical exercises, and communication tools for student support. Each of these services may use cookies to enhance their functionality and your learning experience.

Technology evolves rapidly, especially in the IT industry we serve. As we develop new features for our full-stack development platform and adopt new tracking technologies, we may need to update this cookie policy.

We'll notify you of any significant changes through our website or via email if you're a registered user. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies and similar technologies.

Changes to this policy become effective immediately upon posting on our website. Your continued use of Smartiqw after policy updates indicates your acceptance of the revised terms.
