Cookie & Tracking Policy

Effective Date: January 15, 2025

What This Policy Covers

We're not fans of hiding things in legal jargon, so here's the straight story. When you visit unmeiti.eu, small data files get placed on your device. These are called cookies, and they help our site remember who you are and what you're doing.

But cookies aren't the only tracking tech we use. There's also local storage, pixel tags, and a few other tools that help us understand how people interact with our educational content. Some of this stuff is absolutely necessary for the site to work. Other bits help us improve your experience or figure out which learning resources actually help people.

How Tracking Actually Works

When you land on our site, your browser talks to our server. During that conversation, we can store small pieces of information on your device. Think of it like leaving a bookmark in a library book, except digital and way more useful.

Some cookies expire when you close your browser. Others stick around for months or even years. We use both types depending on what we're trying to accomplish. Session cookies help you navigate between pages without losing your place. Persistent cookies remember your preferences so you don't have to reset everything each visit.

Beyond traditional cookies, we also use technologies like HTML5 local storage. This works similarly but can hold more data and doesn't get sent to our server with every request. It's particularly helpful for storing your progress through learning modules without constantly pinging our servers.

Different Types We Use

Essential Functionality

These make the site actually work. They handle things like keeping you logged in, remembering your language preference, and maintaining your shopping cart if you're browsing our course materials. You can't turn these off without breaking core functionality, which is why they're exempt from needing your permission under Canadian privacy law.

Performance Analytics

We track which pages get visited most, where people tend to drop off, and how long folks spend on different sections. This helps us figure out if our game architecture tutorials are actually useful or if we need to rewrite them. The data gets aggregated, so we're not watching individual people navigate around—we're looking at patterns across hundreds of visits.

Learning Enhancement

These cookies remember where you left off in a course, which exercises you've completed, and what topics you've already covered. They're technically optional, but without them you'd have to manually track your own progress through our mobile game development curriculum.

Marketing & Advertising

If you see ads for Vexalloy Luxonir courses after visiting our site, that's retargeting cookies at work. They also help us measure whether our advertising actually brings in students or if we're just burning money. These are completely optional and you can reject them using the button above.

What We Actually Track

Here's a breakdown of the specific information we collect through these tracking technologies:

  • Device Information: Browser type, operating system, screen resolution, device model. This helps us make sure our site works properly on your setup.
  • Navigation Patterns: Which pages you visit, how long you stay, where you click. We're looking for usability problems and popular content.
  • Learning Progress: Course completion status, quiz scores, time spent on lessons. This only happens if you're enrolled in our programs.
  • Interaction Data: Form submissions, video playback, download activities. We want to know if people actually use the resources we create.
  • Geographic Location: Your general city or region based on IP address. We don't track precise GPS coordinates—just enough to know if we should focus more content on Canadian mobile developers versus international audiences.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You've got several options for controlling cookies. The easiest is the button at the top of this page—click it and we'll delete all non-essential cookies immediately. Your choice gets saved in local storage so we remember your preference on future visits.

You can also manage cookies directly through your browser settings. Every major browser lets you block cookies entirely, delete existing ones, or set them to expire when you close the browser. Just be aware that blocking essential cookies will break parts of our site.

Browser-Specific Instructions: Chrome users can find cookie controls under Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies. Firefox puts them in Options > Privacy & Security. Safari users look in Preferences > Privacy. Edge has them under Settings > Privacy, Search, and Services.

If you want to get really granular, browser extensions like uBlock Origin or Privacy Badger give you fine-tuned control over tracking technologies. They can block specific types of cookies while allowing others through.

Third-Party Tracking

We're not the only ones setting cookies on our site. Some of our embedded content and services come from third parties who set their own tracking cookies. For example, if we embed a YouTube video in a lesson, Google might drop cookies on your device when you watch it.

Our analytics provider also sets cookies to help us understand site traffic. These companies have their own privacy policies that govern how they use your data. We try to work with vendors who respect user privacy, but you should know that clicking the reject button on this page doesn't necessarily block all third-party cookies—it just tells us not to set optional ones.

Email marketing tools we use might also place cookies if you click through from one of our newsletters. This helps us see which email topics drive the most engagement and which ones people ignore.

How Long Data Sticks Around

Different cookies have different lifespans. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Our authentication cookies last about two weeks, which means you stay logged in between visits without having to enter your password constantly.

Analytics cookies typically expire after two years. Marketing cookies might last anywhere from 30 days to a year depending on the advertising platform. Local storage data persists indefinitely unless you clear it manually or we update our code to remove it.

If you use the rejection button above, we'll delete all non-essential cookies immediately. But if you visit the site again without that rejection preference saved, new cookies might get set. That's why we store your choice in local storage—so we can respect it on future visits.

Your Rights Under Canadian Privacy Law

Canada's privacy legislation gives you specific rights regarding your personal data, including information collected through cookies. You can request access to the data we've collected about you, ask us to delete it, or request corrections if something's wrong.

You also have the right to withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any time. That's exactly what the rejection button on this page does. If you want to go further and request deletion of all data we've collected through cookies, contact us using the information below.

Keep in mind that exercising these rights might affect your ability to use certain features on our site. If we delete all your cookies, you'll lose your learning progress tracking and have to log in again every time you visit.

Updates to This Policy

We update this policy occasionally when we change how we use tracking technologies or when privacy regulations evolve. The effective date at the top tells you when the current version took effect. Major changes get announced through email to enrolled students and a notice on our homepage.

If we start using cookies in fundamentally different ways—like selling data to third parties or tracking you across other websites—we'll ask for fresh consent rather than relying on your previous acceptance.
