What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device when you visit them. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help websites remember your preferences and improve your experience. At medialexacademy.com, we use various tracking technologies including cookies, web beacons, and local storage to make your educational journey smoother.
These technologies help us understand how students interact with our mobile game architecture courses, which resources are most helpful, and where we can improve our teaching materials. It's similar to how a teacher might notice which topics generate the most questions in class.
Types of Tracking We Use
How This Improves Your Learning Experience
When you're working through our Unity development modules, tracking helps us notice if students consistently struggle with a particular concept like game physics or UI design. We can then create additional tutorials or adjust our teaching approach. It's like having a teaching assistant who notices patterns and helps make the course better for everyone.
Data Collection and Storage
We collect information about your course interactions, project submissions, and forum participation. This includes which video lectures you watch completely, how long you spend on coding assignments, and which game development tools you prefer working with.
Your data is stored securely on Australian servers and retained for the duration of your enrollment plus two years afterward. This allows us to provide ongoing support and helps us understand long-term learning outcomes for our mobile game architecture programs.
Information We Track Includes:
- Course module completion rates and time spent on each section
- Interactive exercise attempts and success patterns
- Resource downloads and reference material usage
- Community forum engagement and peer collaboration
- Technical performance data like loading times and error reports
- Device and browser information for compatibility optimization
Managing Your Privacy Preferences
You have control over most tracking technologies through your browser settings. However, disabling essential cookies may affect core functionality like saving your course progress or maintaining your login session.
For Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge browsers, you can access cookie settings through the privacy or security section of your browser preferences. Most browsers allow you to block third-party cookies while keeping first-party ones that are necessary for the website to function properly.
If you're concerned about specific types of tracking, contact our student support team. We're happy to explain what data helps improve your learning experience versus what's purely optional.
Third-Party Services and Educational Tools
Our mobile game development courses integrate with industry-standard tools like Unity Analytics, GitHub for code repositories, and video platforms for lecture delivery. Each of these services has their own privacy policies and may collect additional data to provide their functionality.
We carefully select educational partners who share our commitment to student privacy. For example, when you submit a game project through our platform, we ensure that your code and creative work remain private unless you specifically choose to share it with classmates or instructors.
Updates and Changes
As our educational platform evolves and we add new features to support mobile game development learning, our data usage may change. We'll notify current students of significant policy updates through email and prominent notices on the learning portal.
This policy was last updated in January 2025 to reflect our expanded course offerings in mobile game architecture and new interactive learning tools we've implemented based on student feedback.
