What Are Cookies Anyway?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help websites remember who you are and what you've done during previous visits.

At Ultrasenselink, we use these tracking technologies to make your experience smoother. Some cookies are essential for basic functions like remembering your language preference or keeping you logged in. Others help us understand which parts of our site people find useful.

You're in control here. This page explains what we use and how you can manage your preferences.

Types of Tracking We Use

Specific Cookies We Deploy

Here's the actual list of what gets stored when you visit ultrasenselink.com:

How Tracking Improves Your Experience

Let me give you real examples of why we use these:

• When you return to a course, we remember exactly where you left off in the video tutorial
• If you fill out the contact form but navigate away, your draft message stays saved
• We notice that students struggle with specific Swift lessons and create additional support materials
• Analytics show that mobile learners prefer shorter video segments, so we adjust our content format
• Marketing cookies help us avoid showing you ads for beginner courses when you're already enrolled in advanced programs

Without any tracking, you'd face a more frustrating experience. Every visit would feel like the first time. Every video would restart from the beginning. We wouldn't know which teaching methods actually work.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

Using the Button Above

The "Decline All Tracking" button at the top of this page will remove all non-essential cookies immediately. Your preference gets saved in local storage, so we'll remember not to place optional cookies on future visits.

Essential cookies will remain because they're necessary for basic site operations. But all analytics and marketing tracking stops.

Browser-Level Controls

Every browser gives you granular control over cookies. Here's where to find those settings:

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
• Firefox: Preferences → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
• Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies

You can block all cookies, allow only first-party cookies, or delete existing ones. Just know that blocking everything might break login functionality and other features.

Mobile Device Settings

iOS and Android also offer system-level tracking controls:

• iOS: Settings → Safari → Block All Cookies (or Settings → Privacy → Tracking)
• Android: Chrome app → Settings → Site settings → Cookies

Third-Party Services

We work with external platforms that may place their own cookies:

• Google Analytics: Tracks visitor behavior and traffic sources (you can opt out via browser extension)
• YouTube: Embedded tutorial videos may set cookies even if you don't press play
• Advertising Networks: Partners like Google Ads track conversions from our campaigns

These third parties have their own privacy policies. We don't control their cookies directly, but we only partner with services that meet basic privacy standards.

Data Retention Periods

Different cookies expire at different intervals:

• Session cookies disappear when you close your browser
• Short-term cookies (like form autosaves) last 24-48 hours
• Preference cookies stick around for 6-12 months
• Analytics cookies can persist up to 2 years to track long-term trends

You can clear all cookies manually at any time through your browser settings. This gives you complete control over data retention regardless of our default expiration dates.

Changes to This Policy

We update this document when we add new tracking technologies or change how we use existing ones. Major changes get announced via email to registered students.

Minor updates (like clarifying existing language) happen without notification. Check back periodically if you want to stay informed about our current practices.
