Cookie Policy
Last Updated: March 15, 2025
We use tracking technologies on unionmesh.com to help us understand how you interact with our platform and improve your experience. This policy explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can control them.
By continuing to use our website, you're letting us know that you're okay with how we handle these technologies. But don't worry – you have options to manage your preferences at any time.
What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?
Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember things about you – like your preferences or login status – so you don't have to start from scratch every time you visit.
We also use similar tracking methods like web beacons and pixels. These are tiny graphics embedded in web pages or emails that help us understand how you engage with our content.
Think of them as digital breadcrumbs that help us make your experience smoother. They're not harmful to your computer and don't contain personal information by themselves.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These are the must-haves that keep our platform running. They handle critical functions like security, network management, and remembering your session. Without these, basic features simply won't work. You can't really turn these off if you want to use the site.
Preference Cookies
These remember your choices – like language settings or interface customizations. They make sure you don't have to reconfigure everything each time you visit. Your experience becomes more personalized and convenient.
Performance Cookies
We use these to see how people navigate through our site. They tell us which features get used most and where people might be running into issues. This information helps us make improvements that actually matter to users.
Targeting Cookies
These track your browsing patterns to show you content that might interest you. They help us understand what educational topics you're exploring so we can suggest relevant resources. They also limit how many times you see the same message.
Specific Cookies on Our Platform
These keep you logged in as you move between pages. They expire when you close your browser, so you'll need to sign in again next time. They're essential for accessing your account and course materials.
Remember your video player settings, display preferences, and navigation choices. This means your workspace looks the way you want it each time you return.
Help us remember where you left off in tutorials and which lessons you've completed. This makes it easy to pick up right where you stopped.
Collect data about how people interact with our features. We look at things like which tools get used most and where learners spend their time. This guides our development priorities.
Allow us to test new features with specific user groups before rolling them out to everyone. This helps us catch issues early and gather feedback on improvements.
