Cookie Policy
Last updated: January 15, 2025
This policy explains how TurboEvolve uses tracking technologies on turboevolve.life. We believe you should understand what data we collect and why. This isn't just legal text — it's about being upfront with you about how our website works behind the scenes.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. Think of them as tiny notes that help websites remember who you are and what you prefer. Some disappear when you close your browser, others stick around for months or even years.
They're not programs and can't carry viruses. Most websites use them — including ours. Without cookies, you'd have to log in every time you switched pages, and the site wouldn't remember your language preference or learning progress.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Cookies
These keep the website functioning. Without them, you couldn't navigate between pages or access secure areas. They're necessary for basic operations — we can't really turn these off without breaking things.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices — like which programming language you prefer for code examples or whether you want videos to autoplay. They make your experience more personalized without tracking you across the web.
Analytical Cookies
We use these to understand how people use our site. Which lessons do students revisit most often? Where do people get stuck? This helps us improve course content and fix confusing sections.
Marketing Cookies
These track your journey across our educational content to show you relevant program information. If you've been reading about neural networks, we might show you our deep learning course instead of basic Python tutorials.
How We Actually Use This Data
Here's what happens with the information we collect through these tracking technologies:
- Keep you logged into your student account as you move between lessons
- Remember which course modules you've completed so you can pick up where you left off
- Save your code editor preferences and theme settings
- Track which tutorial sections students find most helpful
- Understand which devices and browsers our students use most
- Identify technical problems that cause pages to load slowly
- See which topics generate the most questions in our forums
- Measure how many people complete our free introductory courses
Taking Control of Your Cookies
You're not stuck with our tracking choices. Every major browser gives you control over cookies. You can block them entirely, delete existing ones, or set your browser to ask permission before accepting new ones.
Just know that blocking all cookies will affect how the site works. You might lose your progress between sessions or have to reset your preferences every time you visit.
How Long We Keep This Information
Different types of cookies have different lifespans. Some exist only for your current browsing session, others persist for specific periods based on their purpose:
Your Rights Regarding Tracking
Access Your Data
You can request a copy of all the information we've collected about your browsing patterns and preferences on our platform.
Delete Your Data
Ask us to remove your tracking data from our systems. We'll clear it within 30 days, though some backups might persist slightly longer.
Opt Out of Analytics
You can exclude yourself from our usage statistics while still accessing all course content and features normally.
Withdraw Consent
Change your mind about non-essential cookies anytime. Your previous data stays unless you specifically ask us to delete it.
Third-Party Tracking
We use some external services that set their own cookies — mainly for video hosting and payment processing. These companies have their own privacy policies that govern how they handle your data.
When you watch an embedded tutorial video, the video platform might track that view. When you purchase a course, the payment processor sets cookies to prevent fraud. We don't control these third-party cookies, but we try to work with services that respect user privacy.
Policy Updates
We'll update this policy when we add new tracking technologies or change how we use existing ones. The date at the top tells you when we last made changes. Major updates will be announced through email to registered students.
If you keep using the site after we update this policy, we'll assume you're okay with the changes. But you can always reach out with questions or concerns.
Questions About Our Cookie Usage?
We know privacy policies can be confusing. If something here doesn't make sense or you want more details about specific tracking practices, just get in touch.
