What Tracking Technologies We Use

Like most educational platforms, we use several types of tracking technologies to make our site work and understand how students interact with our content. Here's what we employ on neuronconnecto.com:

How These Technologies Work

When you first visit neuronconnecto.com, your browser receives a small data file that gets stored locally on your device. This file contains a unique identifier and some basic information about your session.

Every time you request a new page or interact with course content, your browser sends this file back to our server. This is how we recognize that you're the same person who logged in earlier, or that you've already watched the first three modules of a course.

Some cookies expire when you close your browser. Others stick around for weeks or months so you don't have to log in every single time you visit.

First-Party vs Third-Party

Most cookies on our site are "first-party" - created directly by neuronconnecto.com. We also use a few "third-party" cookies from services like Google Analytics and our video hosting platform. These third-party services have their own privacy policies that govern how they handle data.

Specific Cookies We Deploy

Here's a detailed breakdown of the actual cookies you'll encounter on our platform:

• session_id - Essential cookie that maintains your login state. Expires when you close your browser.
• user_preferences - Functional cookie storing your interface settings like dark mode or sidebar preferences. Lasts 90 days.
• course_progress - Essential cookie tracking which lessons you've completed. Lasts 180 days.
• _ga - Google Analytics cookie measuring how visitors interact with our site. Lasts 2 years.
• _gid - Google Analytics cookie distinguishing unique users. Lasts 24 hours.
• referral_source - Marketing cookie noting how you found our site. Lasts 30 days.
• video_quality - Functional cookie remembering your preferred video resolution. Lasts 90 days.

Managing Your Cookie Settings

You have several options for controlling cookies. The simplest is clicking the "Decline All Non-Essential Cookies" button at the top of this page. That immediately removes analytics and marketing cookies from your browser.

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Every major browser lets you view, block, or delete cookies. Keep in mind that blocking all cookies will prevent you from logging into your account or accessing course materials.

Most mobile browsers also include cookie management options in their settings menus. Look for "Privacy" or "Site Settings" sections.

How Cookies Enhance Your Learning Experience

Without getting too technical, cookies make our platform genuinely more useful. Here are some concrete examples from actual student experiences:

When Gerard from Makati was working through our financial statement analysis module, he had to stop midway through a case study to take a call from his manager. When he came back three hours later, the site remembered exactly where he'd left off - down to the specific spreadsheet cell he was working on.

Cookies also power our adaptive learning features. If you consistently pause and rewind during sections about DCF modeling, the system notices and might suggest supplementary materials or slower-paced tutorials. This wouldn't work without tracking your interaction patterns.

Data Security and Your Rights

The information collected through cookies is stored on secure servers in compliance with Philippine data protection regulations. We don't sell or rent this data to third parties.

You have the right to access any personal data we've collected through cookies. You can request a copy by emailing our data protection team. You can also request deletion of your data, though this will mean losing access to your course progress and account history.

If you're accessing our site from the European Union, additional rights apply under GDPR. Contact us for specifics about how we handle EU visitor data.

Changes to This Policy

We update this policy occasionally when we add new features or modify how we use cookies. Major changes will be announced through email to active students. The "Last Updated" date at the top reflects when we last made modifications.

Continuing to use neuronconnecto.com after policy updates means you accept the revised terms. If you disagree with changes, you can delete your account through your profile settings.
