What Are Cookies and How We Use Them

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. At Photonlinksequence, we use various tracking technologies to make your documentary photography journey smoother and more personalized. Think of cookies as digital breadcrumbs that help us remember your preferences and improve your experience on our platform.

When you explore our creativity platform, these technologies work behind the scenes to remember things like your login status, preferred learning modules, and portfolio settings. We've designed our tracking approach to be transparent and user-friendly, giving you control over what information is collected and how it's used.

Types of Tracking Technologies We Use

How Tracking Enhances Your Experience

Personalized Learning Paths

Our tracking technologies help create customized learning experiences for your documentary photography journey. By understanding which tutorials you've completed and which techniques you're struggling with, we can recommend specific courses and resources that match your skill level and interests.

Progress Tracking and Achievements

Cookies enable us to save your course progress, track completed assignments, and celebrate your achievements. This means you can pick up exactly where you left off in any photography module, and we can recognize your growth as a documentary photographer.

Community Integration

Our platform uses tracking to enhance community features, helping you connect with fellow documentary photographers who share similar interests or are working on comparable projects. This creates networking opportunities and collaborative learning experiences.

• Automatic saving of portfolio drafts and project work
• Personalized content recommendations based on viewing history
• Streamlined checkout process for course purchases
• Customized dashboard layouts that match your workflow preferences
• Targeted notifications about new courses in your areas of interest

Data Retention and Storage

We keep different types of tracking data for varying periods, depending on their purpose and legal requirements. Essential cookies typically last for the duration of your session, while preference cookies might be stored for up to two years to maintain your customized settings.

Analytical data is generally retained for 26 months, giving us enough time to identify long-term trends in how people use our documentary photography platform. Marketing cookies usually expire after 12 months, ensuring that advertising relevance stays current with your evolving interests.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

Browser-Specific Instructions

Each browser handles cookie management differently. In Chrome, you'll find these settings under Privacy and Security. Firefox users can access cookie controls through the Privacy & Security section. Safari users can manage cookies through Preferences and then Privacy settings.

For mobile devices, cookie settings are typically found within your browser's privacy settings. Both iOS Safari and Android Chrome provide granular controls over tracking and cookie acceptance.

Third-Party Tracking Services

We work with trusted third-party services to enhance our platform's functionality and provide better analytics. These partners include educational technology providers, payment processors, and content delivery networks that help us serve high-quality photography tutorials efficiently.

All third-party services we use are carefully vetted and must comply with our privacy standards. We only share the minimum necessary information to provide the services you've requested, and we never sell your personal data to advertisers or other companies.

Your Rights and Control Options

You have the right to know what information we collect, how we use it, and you can request access to your data at any time. If you want to delete your account and all associated tracking data, we provide simple tools to do so through your account settings.

You can also opt out of marketing communications while still maintaining your course access and essential platform functionality. Our goal is to give you complete transparency and control over your documentary photography learning experience.
