What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit our website. They help us remember your preferences and understand how you interact with our content.

Think of them as tiny notes your browser keeps about your visit. Some remember that you've logged in. Others track which pages you found helpful. And yes, some help us figure out if our game development tutorials are actually useful or need work.

We use these technologies at codracta.com to make your learning experience smoother and to improve our educational content based on real usage patterns.

Types of Cookies We Use

How We Use Cookie Data

Our primary goal is making better educational content. When we see that students spend extra time on certain sections, we know those topics need clearer explanations. When quiz completion rates drop at specific points, we revisit that material.

We also use this information to personalize your experience. If you're frequently checking materials about Unreal Engine, we might suggest related advanced topics. If you're browsing beginner content, we won't bombard you with professional-level courses.

Marketing cookies help us reach people interested in game development education. They prevent you from seeing the same advertisement repeatedly and let us measure whether our outreach actually connects with the right audience.

Cookie Retention Periods

Managing Your Browser Settings

You have full control over cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block all cookies, accept only certain types, or delete existing ones.

Keep in mind that blocking all cookies might break some website features. You might lose access to saved course progress, have to log in repeatedly, or experience slower page loads.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies come from external services we use. For example, if we embed a video tutorial from a hosting platform, that platform might set its own cookies. We use analytics tools that place cookies to track visitor behavior across multiple sites.

These third parties have their own privacy policies, which we don't control. We choose vendors carefully, but you should review their policies if you want complete information about their data practices.

Common third-party services on our site include video hosting platforms, analytics tools, content delivery networks, and occasionally embedded social media features for sharing course announcements.

Your Rights and Choices

Under current data protection regulations, you have several rights regarding cookie data. You can request to know what data we've collected, ask us to delete it, or withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any time.

The button at the top of this page lets you opt out of all non-essential cookies immediately. We'll respect that choice, though it means you'll miss out on personalized features and we'll have less insight into improving our content.

If you're in the European Economic Area, you have additional rights under GDPR. Residents of certain other regions have similar protections under local privacy laws.

Changes to This Policy

We update this policy when we add new features, change service providers, or need to comply with new regulations. The date at the top shows when we last made changes.

Significant updates get announced through email to registered students and a notice on our homepage. Minor clarifications or administrative changes don't always trigger notifications, but you can always check back here for the current version.
