Cookie & Tracking Policy

What This Policy Covers

This document explains how grotonex.com uses cookies and similar tracking technologies. We believe in being straightforward about how your browsing data gets collected and used when you visit our site.

Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device. They help us remember your preferences, understand how people use our platform, and improve your overall experience when learning about game environment development.

Types of Cookies We Use

How Tracking Improves Your Experience

When you allow tracking, it helps us understand which parts of our educational content work well and which need improvement. For example, if we notice many people spending time on articles about procedural texture generation but quickly leaving posts about lighting techniques, that tells us something important.

Analytics also help us optimize the site's performance. We can identify slow-loading pages, broken links, or compatibility issues with specific browsers or devices. This data directly influences how we prioritize improvements to the learning platform.

Marketing cookies let us reach people who've shown interest in game development education but haven't enrolled yet. Instead of showing our ads to everyone, we can focus on people who've actually visited our methodology pages or read through our learning program details.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have complete control over which non-essential cookies you accept. The button at the top of this page lets you reject all optional tracking immediately. Your preference gets saved, so you won't see repeated consent requests every time you visit.

Data Retention and Storage

Third-Party Tracking Services

We work with external services that help us analyze site traffic and measure the effectiveness of our educational content. These services have their own privacy policies and cookie practices.

When you decline non-essential cookies on our site, we signal these third-party services to stop collecting your data. However, some services might still collect minimal information required for basic functionality.

We regularly review the third-party tools we use to ensure they align with privacy standards and provide genuine value to our ability to deliver quality game development education.

Changes to This Policy

As we improve our platform and add new features, our use of cookies might change. We'll update this policy to reflect any significant modifications to how we collect and use tracking data.

Major changes will be announced through a notice on our homepage and through email for enrolled students. We recommend checking this page occasionally if you want to stay informed about our tracking practices.
