Cookie Policy
Last Updated: January 2025
What This Policy Covers
At Skilnova Drive, we use tracking technologies to make your experience smoother and to understand how people interact with our educational platform. This policy explains what we track, why we do it, and how you can control these settings.
We're not trying to be mysterious about data collection. This document walks through our approach in plain terms so you know exactly what happens when you visit skilnovadrive.space.
Understanding Tracking Technologies
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device. They help websites remember your preferences and understand how you navigate through pages. Think of them as digital bookmarks that make your return visits more convenient.
Beyond traditional cookies, we also use similar technologies like local storage and session tokens. These work in comparable ways but serve slightly different technical purposes. The key point is they all help us deliver a better learning experience.
Essential Tracking
These keep the site functional. Without them, basic features like navigation and access to secure areas wouldn't work properly. They're non-negotiable for the platform to operate.
Functional Tracking
These remember your choices, like preferred language settings or course filters you've applied. They make your experience more personalized without storing sensitive information.
Analytical Tracking
We use these to understand which pages get visited most, how long people spend on different sections, and where they might encounter difficulties. This data guides our improvements.
Marketing Tracking
These help us understand which promotional efforts bring people to our site and prevent you from seeing the same message repeatedly. They're about relevance, not invasiveness.
Specific Tracking Methods We Use
Here's what actually happens when you visit our site. We want to be transparent about each type of data collection we employ.
- Session Cookies: These expire when you close your browser. They handle temporary data like items in your course selection or your current page position.
- Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device between visits, sometimes for months. They remember login details and preferences you've set.
- First-Party Cookies: We set these directly from skilnovadrive.space. They handle most of the functional aspects of your visit.
- Third-Party Cookies: Partners like analytics providers place these. They help us understand broader patterns and measure marketing effectiveness.
- Local Storage: This browser feature stores larger amounts of data locally, like your course progress or draft messages in contact forms.
- Analytics Scripts: We use tracking codes to measure page views, user flows, and engagement metrics across the site.
How Tracking Improves Your Experience
It's worth explaining what these technologies actually do for you, because the benefits are pretty tangible.
When you return to our site, functional cookies remember whether you prefer viewing course descriptions in expanded or compact format. If you started browsing our 3D modeling curriculum last week, we can show you where you left off. That's genuinely helpful, not creepy.
Analytical data shows us that people often struggle finding our pricing information or contact details. We then redesign navigation to make those elements more accessible. Your anonymous interaction patterns directly shape site improvements.
Marketing cookies prevent you from seeing enrollment reminders if you've already signed up. They also help us understand which social media posts or email campaigns resonate with prospective students, so we can focus on creating content people actually want.
Managing Your Tracking Preferences
You have complete control over how these technologies operate on your device. Most browsers give you straightforward options to manage or block cookies entirely.
Keep in mind that blocking essential cookies will likely break site functionality. You might not be able to log into your account or access certain features. But blocking analytical or marketing cookies? That's totally your call and won't affect basic usability.
Data Retention and Your Rights
Different types of tracking data stick around for different lengths of time. Here's how long we keep various categories of information.
Session Data
Deleted immediately when you close your browser. This includes temporary preferences and navigation history within a single visit.
Functional Preferences
Stored for up to 12 months. These include language settings, display preferences, and similar customization choices you've made.
Analytical Information
Aggregated and anonymized data retained for 26 months. We use this for long-term trend analysis and platform improvements.
Marketing Data
Third-party marketing cookies typically expire after 90 days, though this varies by provider. We review these partnerships quarterly.
You can request deletion of your tracking data at any time by contacting us. We'll clear everything except what's legally required for accounting or security purposes. The process usually takes about two business days.
Changes to This Policy
We review and update this cookie policy periodically, especially when we add new tracking technologies or change how we use existing ones. The date at the top shows when we last revised this document. Significant changes will be communicated through email to registered users.
Third-Party Services
We work with external providers who may place their own tracking technologies when you visit our site. These include analytics platforms, payment processors, and educational content delivery networks.
Each third-party service has its own privacy policy and cookie practices. While we choose partners carefully and review their data handling approaches, we can't control their policies directly. We encourage you to review their documentation if you're concerned about specific services.
Current third-party services we use include web analytics tools to measure site traffic, video hosting platforms for course content, and email service providers for communications. We don't share personally identifiable information with marketing partners without explicit consent.
Special Considerations for Students
If you're enrolled in our programs, additional tracking helps us deliver course content effectively. This includes monitoring which lessons you've completed, tracking quiz attempts, and saving your project progress.
This educational tracking is separate from general website cookies and is necessary for providing the learning experience you've signed up for. You can't opt out of course-related tracking while actively participating in programs, but you can request a full export of your learning data at any time.
Student data receives extra protection under our privacy framework. We never sell course performance information or student behavior data to third parties. Analytics from educational content stays aggregated and anonymous.
