Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — computer, smartphone, or tablet — when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the website owner.

Cookies help us remember your preferences, keep you logged in between sessions, and understand how you interact with our platform so we can continuously improve your experience as a learner.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

Tech101 uses four categories of cookies: essential, functional, analytics, and marketing. Each serves a distinct purpose and is described in detail below. You can manage your preferences for non-essential cookies at any time.

3. Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the platform to function. Without these cookies, core features of Tech101 — such as logging in, enrolling in courses, and accessing your dashboard — would not work. These cookies cannot be disabled.

Examples of essential cookies we use:

• Session cookies — keep you authenticated during your visit.
• Authentication tokens — verify your identity across page requests.
• CSRF protection cookies — protect your account from cross-site request forgery attacks.
• Load balancing cookies — ensure consistent platform performance.

4. Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow the platform to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, personalised features. They help create a more convenient and tailored experience.

• Remembering your preferred language and region settings.
• Storing your video playback speed and quality preferences.
• Saving your progress within a lesson if you navigate away temporarily.
• Retaining your selected currency for pricing display.

Disabling functional cookies will not prevent you from using the platform, but may result in a less personalised experience.

5. Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how learners interact with the Tech101 platform. This data allows us to identify areas for improvement, optimise course content, and make informed product decisions.

• Page views and navigation paths across the platform.
• Course engagement metrics — lesson completion rates and drop-off points.
• Feature usage patterns to guide product development.
• Error and performance monitoring to maintain platform stability.

All analytics data is anonymised and aggregated. No personally identifiable information is shared with analytics providers. Our primary analytics provider is Google Analytics.

6. Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to track visitors across websites and display relevant advertisements on third-party platforms. These cookies help us reach potential learners who may benefit from our courses.

• Meta Pixel — enables us to measure ad effectiveness and retarget visitors on Facebook and Instagram.
• Google Ads — allows conversion tracking and remarketing campaigns on Google Search and Display networks.

You can opt out of marketing cookies at any time through our cookie preference centre or by adjusting your browser settings. Opting out will not affect your ability to use the platform, but you may see less relevant advertising elsewhere.

7. Managing Your Cookies

You have several options for managing cookies:

• Cookie preference centre — use our cookie preference centre to selectively enable or disable non-essential cookie categories.
• Browser settings — most browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies through their settings. Consult your browser's help documentation for instructions.
• Third-party opt-out tools — you can opt out of Google Analytics via the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Please note that disabling essential cookies will significantly affect platform functionality, including your ability to log in and access course content. We recommend keeping essential cookies enabled.
