Understanding how WaveFlash uses tracking technologies to improve your learning experience
Last Updated: March 12, 2025
At WaveFlash, we believe in transparency. This policy explains how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies on waveflash.life. We're not hiding anything here – just straightforward information about what happens when you visit our site.
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. They help us remember your preferences and understand how you interact with our educational platform. Think of them as helpful notes that make your next visit smoother.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Cookies aren't mysterious. They're tiny data files – usually just a few kilobytes – that websites save to your browser. When you return to waveflash.life, these files help us recognize you and remember things like your language preference or which courses you've been exploring.
Some cookies disappear when you close your browser (session cookies). Others stick around for a while (persistent cookies) so we can remember you next time. We use both types, depending on what makes sense for the specific purpose.

How Cookies Improve Your Experience
Let's be specific. When you're browsing Unity programming courses and then come back a week later, functional cookies remember where you left off. You don't have to start your search from scratch.
If you're checking out our webinars scheduled for September 2025, analytical cookies help us understand that this topic is popular. We might then create more related content or schedule additional sessions.
When you attend a webinar through our platform, session cookies keep you logged in throughout the event. Without them, you'd get kicked out repeatedly – not exactly conducive to learning.
How Long Do Cookies Last?
Different cookies serve different purposes, so their lifespans vary. Here's what we typically use:
Session Cookies
Duration of your visit
Preference Cookies
Up to 12 months
Analytics Cookies
Up to 24 months
Marketing Cookies
Up to 18 months
Third-Party Cookies
Sometimes we work with other companies that help us provide our educational services. These partners might place their own cookies on your device. For example, if we embed a video from another platform, that platform might use cookies to track playback.
We're careful about who we work with. Any third party that places cookies through our site must meet our data protection standards. But remember – those third parties have their own privacy policies, which you should read if you're curious about their specific practices.
Updates to This Policy
Technology changes. Our practices might evolve as we improve our platform or add new features. When we update this policy, we'll change the date at the top of this page.
If we make significant changes that affect how we use cookies, we'll let you know through a notification on our site or via email if you're registered with us. You won't have to guess what's different.
