What We're Actually Tracking

When you land on our site, small text files get stored in your browser. That's the technical side. The practical side? We're keeping track of things that help us improve how the site works for you.

Some of this data is basic stuff—like which pages you visit or how long you spend reading about our upcoming neural network courses. Other pieces help us remember your preferences so you don't have to reset everything each time you come back.

How This Actually Improves Your Experience

It's easy to talk about "better user experience," but what does that mean in practice? Let me give you some real examples.

Say you're browsing our neural network fundamentals course page. Analytics tell us that 70% of visitors who read that page also check out our Python programming prerequisites. That's valuable—it means we should make that connection more obvious, maybe add a suggested reading path.

Or consider this: we noticed students from Kaohsiung City were consistently accessing materials late at night. That insight led us to schedule additional evening support hours for our Taiwan-based learners. Without tracking that geographic and temporal data, we'd never have known there was a need.

The functional tracking keeps your preferences intact. If you've set your interface to show advanced-level content first, that preference sticks around. Same goes for your preferred contact method or course category filters.

What Data Categories We Collect

Let's break this down into specific categories so you know exactly what information we're gathering:

Third-Party Tracking Technologies

We're not the only ones collecting data when you visit our site. Some third-party services we use also employ their own tracking methods.

Analytics platforms help us understand traffic patterns. These services have their own privacy policies, and they process data according to their own terms. You can usually opt out of third-party analytics through browser extensions or privacy settings.

If we embed content from external platforms—say, a tutorial video or interactive coding environment—those platforms may also use tracking technologies. We try to minimize this, but sometimes it's necessary for functionality.

Your Rights and Options

You're not stuck with our default tracking setup. Here's what you can do:

Block all non-essential tracking through your browser settings. The site will still work, though some personalization features won't be available. That's a fair trade-off if privacy is your primary concern.

Use private or incognito browsing modes. These don't save tracking data after you close the window. Good for one-off visits when you don't want any persistent data stored.

Install browser extensions that block tracking scripts. Tools like Privacy Badger or uBlock Origin can give you granular control over what gets through.

Request deletion of your stored data by contacting us directly. We'll process requests within 30 days and confirm when your information has been removed from our active systems.
