How We Use Tracking Technologies

At firstdigitaldesktop.com, we believe in transparency about how we collect and use data to improve your mobile game development learning experience. This policy explains the various tracking technologies we employ and how they benefit your educational journey.

Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us remember your preferences, track your progress through our learning modules, and provide personalized content recommendations. We use both session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain on your device for a specified period).

Beyond traditional cookies, we also utilize web beacons, local storage, and analytics scripts to gather insights about how students interact with our course materials and platform features.

• Essential Cookies

  These cookies are absolutely necessary for the website to function properly. They enable core functionality like secure login, course progress tracking, and maintaining your session as you navigate between lessons. These cannot be disabled.

• Functional Cookies

  These enhance your experience by remembering your preferences such as language settings, preferred learning pace, completed modules, and customized dashboard layouts. They help create a more personalized learning environment.

• Analytical Cookies

  We use these to understand how students engage with our content, which lessons are most effective, and where learners might be struggling. This data helps us continuously improve our curriculum and teaching methods.

• Marketing Cookies

  These track your interests and browsing patterns to show you relevant course recommendations and educational content. They also help us measure the effectiveness of our outreach efforts to potential students.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have full control over which non-essential cookies we can use. Most modern browsers allow you to control cookies through their privacy settings. Here's how tracking preferences work and what options you have available.

When you click "Decline All Non-Essential Cookies" above, we immediately remove all analytical and marketing cookies from your browser and stop collecting non-essential tracking data. Your choice is saved locally and respected across all future visits to our platform.

Browser-level controls give you even more granular options. In Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge, you can block all cookies, allow only first-party cookies, or create custom rules for specific websites. However, blocking essential cookies may prevent core features like login and progress tracking from working properly.

We store your cookie preferences for 12 months. After this period, we'll ask for your consent again to ensure your preferences remain current. You can change your mind at any time by returning to this page and updating your selections.

Third-party services we use, such as video hosting platforms for our tutorial content, may set their own cookies. These are governed by their respective privacy policies, and you can opt out of them independently through those services' preference centers.
