Cookie & Data Usage Policy
Understanding Our Data Collection
At sirelvantoqira, we believe transparency about data usage builds trust. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit sirelvantoqira.sbs. We use various tracking technologies to enhance your experience, improve our services, and understand how users interact with our lighting and texture design platform.
Our approach to data collection is designed around providing value to you while respecting your privacy. We collect information that helps us deliver personalized content, remember your preferences, and continuously improve our educational resources for 3D game development.
Types of Tracking Technologies We Use
We employ several tracking methods to understand user behavior and improve service delivery. Each serves a specific purpose in creating a better experience for our community of game developers and designers.
Essential Cookies
These are necessary for basic website functionality. They enable core features like secure login, course progress tracking, and shopping cart functionality. Without these, our platform simply can't operate properly.
Functional Cookies
These remember your preferences and choices. They store settings like your preferred tutorial difficulty level, interface theme, and language preferences to personalize your learning experience.
Analytical Cookies
We use these to understand how users navigate our site. They help us identify which tutorials are most popular, where users encounter difficulties, and how we can improve course content and structure.
Marketing Cookies
These track your interests to show relevant content and advertisements. They help us promote courses that match your skill level and interests while measuring the effectiveness of our marketing efforts.
How Tracking Enhances Your Experience
When you visit our platform, tracking technologies work behind the scenes to create a seamless experience. For instance, functional cookies remember where you left off in a tutorial series, so you can pick up exactly where you stopped. This eliminates the frustration of losing progress or having to manually navigate back to your last position.
Analytical data helps us understand learning patterns. If we notice many users struggling with a particular lighting technique, we can create additional resources or modify our teaching approach. This data-driven improvement means better content for everyone in our community.
Marketing cookies ensure you see relevant course recommendations. Instead of generic advertisements, you'll see promotions for advanced texture techniques if you've been exploring intermediate courses, or beginner-friendly content if you're just starting your 3D design journey.
Your Control Matters
You have complete control over your data preferences. You can modify cookie settings, request data deletion, or opt out of non-essential tracking at any time through your browser settings or by contacting our support team.
Data Retention Periods
Different types of data are retained for varying periods based on their purpose and legal requirements. Here's how long we keep different categories of information:
Essential Cookies - Session Duration
Login tokens and security cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser or log out. These are never stored longer than necessary for your active session.
Preference Data - 2 Years
Your settings and preferences are kept for up to two years to maintain consistency across visits. This includes theme choices, notification preferences, and course bookmarks.
Analytics Data - 26 Months
Usage patterns and site interaction data are aggregated and anonymized, then retained for analytical purposes to improve our platform and course offerings.
Marketing Data - 13 Months
Advertising and promotional tracking data is kept for just over a year to measure campaign effectiveness and provide relevant content recommendations.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can control how cookies and tracking technologies affect your browsing experience. Most modern browsers provide detailed cookie management options that allow you to accept, reject, or selectively manage different types of tracking.

Third-Party Tracking
Some tracking technologies on our site come from trusted third-party providers. These include analytics services that help us understand user behavior, social media integration tools, and educational content delivery networks. Each third party operates under their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.
We carefully select partners who share our commitment to data protection and user privacy. However, we cannot control their data practices entirely, so we recommend reviewing their policies directly if you have specific concerns about third-party tracking.
Updates and Changes
This policy evolves as technology changes and our platform grows. We review and update it regularly to reflect new features, tracking methods, or legal requirements. Significant changes will be communicated through email notifications to registered users and prominent notices on our website.
We encourage you to review this policy periodically, especially if you're concerned about how your data is handled. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the most recent changes were made.
