Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Cookies
These keep SilverFernPlay running properly. They handle login sessions, security features, and basic site functionality. Without these, you wouldn't be able to access your course materials or track progress.
Learning Enhancement
We track which lessons you've completed, your preferred learning pace, and areas where you might need extra support. This helps us suggest relevant content and adapt to your learning style.
Performance Analytics
These tools show us how students navigate through courses, which sections are most engaging, and where people typically get stuck. We use this data to improve our educational content.
Platform Communication
When we share updates about new courses or industry insights, these cookies help us understand which communications are most valuable to different types of learners.
