Understanding how SmartSpotForce uses tracking technologies to enhance your learning experience
What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies
When you visit smartspotforce.com, we use various tracking technologies to make your experience smoother and more personalized. Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you browse our site. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help us remember your preferences and improve how our platform works for you.
Beyond traditional cookies, we also use web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage technologies. These work together to understand how people interact with our content, which courses are most popular, and how we can make the learning experience better. Web beacons are tiny invisible images that track when pages are viewed, while local storage keeps certain preferences saved even when you close your browser.
Essential Cookies
These cookies are absolutely necessary for the website to function properly. They handle basic functions like page navigation, access to secure areas, and maintaining your login session when you're enrolled in courses. Without these, the platform simply wouldn't work.
Performance & Analytics Cookies
We use these to collect information about how visitors use our site. This helps us understand which blockchain curriculum topics are most engaging, where students spend the most time, and what areas might need improvement. All information is collected anonymously.
Functional Cookies
These cookies remember choices you make to improve your experience. For example, they'll remember your preferred language settings, video playback quality, or which course modules you've bookmarked for later review.
Marketing & Advertising Cookies
These cookies track your browsing activity to show you relevant information about our blockchain and private blockchain development courses. They help us understand which educational content resonates with different audiences and prevent showing you the same promotional content repeatedly.
How This Benefits Your Learning Journey
When you're exploring our private blockchain curriculum, these technologies help us personalize your experience. If you're particularly interested in enterprise blockchain solutions, we can suggest relevant advanced modules. If you pause halfway through a coding tutorial, we can bookmark your progress and send you a gentle reminder to continue when you're ready.
Our tracking systems also help us understand peak learning times, which helps us schedule live workshops and Q&A sessions when most students are active. We can see if certain course materials are causing students to drop off, allowing us to improve or redesign those sections for better comprehension.
For students in the Philippines and other regions, we use geolocation data (with your permission) to suggest appropriate time zones for live sessions and to connect you with study groups in your area. This creates a more connected learning community and ensures you don't miss important interactive sessions due to time zone confusion.
Manage Your Cookie Preferences
You have complete control over which cookies we use on your device. While essential cookies cannot be disabled (as they're necessary for basic site functionality), you can choose to reject all non-essential tracking cookies.
Note: Rejecting cookies may limit some personalization features, but won't affect your ability to access course content or complete your blockchain education.
Browser Cookie Management
You can also manage cookies directly through your browser settings. Each browser handles this differently, but the process is generally straightforward. Here's how to access cookie controls in popular browsers:

Data Retention and Your Rights
Most cookies we set expire automatically after your browsing session ends or after a specific period (usually between 30 days and 2 years). Analytics cookies typically last 2 years, while functional cookies might last up to 1 year to remember your preferences. You can request deletion of all your data, including cookies, by contacting us directly.
We regularly review our cookie usage to ensure we're only collecting data that genuinely improves your learning experience. As our blockchain curriculum evolves and we add new interactive features, we may introduce new types of cookies. We'll always update this policy and notify active students of any significant changes.
For students enrolled in our private blockchain development programs, some cookies help us track progress through complex coding exercises and maintain your work across multiple sessions. This ensures you never lose progress on important projects, even if you switch devices or need to step away from your studies.
