What Are Cookies and Why Do We Use Them
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit. Think of them as digital notes that help our site remember things about your visit.
At Spica Stynthyion, we use cookies to make your learning experience smoother. When you're exploring our game level design courses, cookies help us remember your preferences and keep track of where you left off. They're pretty handy for things like keeping you logged into your account or remembering your preferred language settings.
We're transparent about this because you deserve to know how your data gets handled. This page breaks down exactly what types of cookies we use and what each one does.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
REQUIREDThese keep our site working properly. Without them, you wouldn't be able to navigate between pages or access your account. They handle basic stuff like security and authentication.
Duration: Session (cleared when you close browser)
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices to make things easier for you. They save preferences like your display settings or whether you've dismissed certain notifications.
Duration: Up to 12 months
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand how people use our site. They tell us which pages get visited most and where people might be getting stuck. This helps us improve the learning experience.
Duration: Up to 24 months
Marketing Cookies
These track your activity across different sites to show you relevant ads. If you've looked at our 3D modeling courses, you might see related content when browsing elsewhere.
Duration: Up to 13 months
How Cookies Improve Your Experience
Here's what cookies actually do for you on spicastynthyion.com:
- Keep you logged in so you don't have to sign in every time you visit
- Remember which courses you've bookmarked or started
- Save your progress through our learning modules
- Adjust the site layout based on your device and preferences
- Help us spot technical issues faster so we can fix them
- Show you content that matches your interests and learning goals
Without cookies, you'd need to reconfigure everything each time you visit. They make the site feel more personal and easier to use.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies come from services we use to run the site. For example, if we embed a video tutorial from another platform, that platform might set its own cookies.
We work with a few external services:
- Analytics providers who help us understand site traffic
- Video hosting platforms for our tutorial content
- Payment processors for secure transactions
- Email service providers for course updates
These third parties have their own privacy policies. We choose partners carefully, but you should check their policies too if you want full details about their data practices.
Data Retention and Your Control
How Long We Keep Cookie Data
Different cookies stick around for different lengths of time. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Others might last a few months or up to two years, depending on their purpose.
You're in control here. You can delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Just know that removing essential cookies will probably break some site features.
We review our cookie usage regularly and clear out data we no longer need. If you reject non-essential cookies using the button above, we'll respect that choice and save your preference locally.
Managing Cookies Through Your Browser
Every browser handles cookies a bit differently. Here's where to find the settings in popular browsers:
Browser-Specific Instructions
You can also set most browsers to block third-party cookies by default or notify you when a site tries to set a cookie. Keep in mind that blocking all cookies might prevent you from using certain features on our site.
Updates to This Policy
We might update this policy from time to time as we add new features or change how we handle data. When we make significant changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page.
If you're a registered student, we'll send you an email notification about important policy changes. Otherwise, it's a good idea to check back here occasionally if you want to stay informed.
