What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit pitaloneb.com. These files help us recognize your browser and remember certain information about your preferences and activities. Beyond traditional cookies, we also use web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage technologies to collect data about how users interact with our version control learning platform.

Think of cookies as digital bookmarks that help websites remember who you are and what you've done during previous visits. Some cookies disappear when you close your browser (session cookies), while others stick around for weeks or months (persistent cookies) to remember your login status and preferences.

Types of Cookies We Use

• Essential & Functional Cookies

  These cookies enable core website functionality like user authentication, course progress tracking, and security features. They're necessary for the platform to work properly and cannot be disabled. Examples include login session cookies and security csrf tokens.

• Analytics & Performance Cookies

  We collect data about how users navigate through our Git tutorials and version control exercises. This helps us identify which learning modules are most effective and where students typically struggle, allowing us to improve our educational content.

• Personalization Cookies

  These cookies remember your preferences like preferred programming languages, theme settings, and course progress. They help customize your learning experience by showing relevant content based on your previous activity and stated interests.

• Marketing & Advertising Cookies

  Used to display relevant educational content and course recommendations based on your learning history. These cookies may track your visits to other programming websites to show you targeted advertisements about our version control courses.

Data Collection and Usage

When you use our platform, we collect information about your learning patterns, course completion rates, and interaction with different types of content. This data helps us understand which Git concepts are most challenging for students and where we should focus our educational efforts.

We track metrics like time spent on tutorials, frequency of code repository exercises, and which version control topics generate the most questions. This information remains aggregated and anonymous in most cases, though registered users' progress data is linked to their accounts to provide personalized learning paths.

Your IP address, browser type, and device information are collected automatically. We use this technical data to ensure our platform works correctly across different systems and to identify potential security issues or unusual access patterns.

Managing Your Cookie Settings

You have several options for controlling cookies on pitaloneb.com. The simplest method is using the rejection button above, which will disable all non-essential tracking while preserving your ability to access courses and tutorials.

Data Retention and Your Rights

Most analytical cookies are automatically deleted after 24 months, while functional cookies may persist until you clear your browser data or change your preferences. Marketing cookies typically expire after 90 days, though some may last up to two years depending on the advertising partner.

You can request deletion of your personal data at any time by contacting our support team. This includes course progress, account information, and any stored preferences. Keep in mind that removing all data will reset your learning progress and require you to start fresh with any courses you've begun.

If you're located in certain regions, you have additional rights regarding data portability and the right to object to processing. We'll provide clear instructions on exercising these rights when you contact us about your data.
