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. But cookies aren't the only technology we use.

We also employ other tracking methods including:

• Web beacons (tiny invisible images that track page views)
• Local storage (browser-based storage for preferences)
• Session identifiers (temporary tags during your visit)
• Analytics scripts (code that measures website performance)
• Pixel tags (similar to web beacons for tracking interactions)

These technologies work together to create a smoother, more personalized experience when you explore our neural network educational content.

Here's what tracking actually does for you when you visit straves.works:

Improved Content Delivery: Analytics help us understand which explanations work best, so we can refine our educational materials to be clearer and more effective.

Technical Optimization: Performance tracking shows us if certain pages load slowly for visitors in different regions of India, allowing us to optimize our content delivery.

Seamless Navigation: Session cookies keep track of where you are in multi-part learning modules, so you don't lose your place if you take a break.

Contact Form Functionality: Essential cookies ensure that when you reach out to us through our contact forms, your message gets delivered properly and you receive confirmation.

Different types of data stick around for different periods:

• Session data: Automatically deleted when you close your browser
• Preference cookies: Kept for up to 12 months to remember your settings
• Analytics data: Aggregated and anonymized data kept for 24 months for trend analysis
• Performance metrics: Technical data retained for 6 months to monitor website health

Every modern browser gives you control over cookies and tracking. Here's how to manage them:

Important note: Blocking essential cookies may affect basic functionality like contact forms and course navigation. However, blocking analytics and performance cookies won't impact your ability to access our educational content.

We work with trusted third-party services to provide the best possible educational experience. These services may also use tracking technologies:

• Content Delivery Networks (CDN): Help deliver our educational materials quickly to users across India
• Analytics Providers: Give us insights into how our content performs and where we can improve
• Security Services: Protect our website and your data from malicious activities
• Email Services: Handle contact form submissions and course inquiry responses

Each of these services has their own privacy policies, and we carefully select providers who maintain high standards for data protection.

We review and update this cookie policy regularly to reflect changes in our practices or relevant regulations. When we make significant changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page.

If we add new types of tracking or change how we use existing data, we'll provide clear notice on our website before implementing those changes.
