What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?

When you visit neural-keen.com, we use small data files called cookies along with other tracking technologies to enhance your learning experience. Think of cookies as digital bookmarks that remember your preferences and help our platform work more smoothly for you.

These technologies include browser cookies, local storage, session identifiers, and similar tracking mechanisms. They work quietly in the background, storing information like your language preferences, login status, and which programming lessons you've completed.

Types of Tracking We Use

How Tracking Enhances Your Learning

Personalized Learning Path

Our tracking helps create a customized experience. If you're working through JavaScript basics, we'll remember where you left off and suggest the next logical lesson. We also track which exercises you found challenging so we can recommend additional practice materials.

Progress Tracking

Cookies store your completion status for coding challenges, quiz scores, and project submissions. This means you can switch devices and still see your accurate progress across all courses.

Performance Optimization

We track which parts of our platform load slowly or cause errors. This technical data helps us optimize the coding environment and ensure smooth performance during your learning sessions.

Data Retention and Your Control

Different types of cookies have different lifespans. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser, while persistent cookies might last from a few days to several years, depending on their purpose.

• Essential cookies last for the duration of your session
• Preference cookies typically expire after 1 year
• Analytics cookies usually last 2 years
• Marketing cookies vary from 30 days to 2 years

You can delete all cookies at any time through your browser settings. Keep in mind that removing essential cookies will log you out and reset your preferences.

Third-Party Tracking

Some cookies on our site come from third-party services we use to enhance your learning experience. This includes analytics tools that help us understand user behavior and content delivery networks that speed up page loading.

Analytics Partners

We work with analytics services to understand how students interact with our programming courses. These partners may place their own cookies to track your visits across multiple websites, but this data is aggregated and doesn't identify you personally.

Educational Content Providers

Some coding exercises and interactive tutorials are embedded from educational technology partners. These embedded tools may use their own cookies to function properly and track your progress within their systems.

Updates to This Policy

As we improve our educational platform and add new features, we may update how we use tracking technologies. When significant changes occur, we'll notify active students through email and update the date at the top of this policy.

We recommend checking this page periodically, especially if you have concerns about data tracking. The programming education landscape changes quickly, and our tracking practices evolve to better serve our students while respecting privacy.
