Cookie & Data Usage Policy
Understanding how Uquestra uses tracking technologies
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 information about your visit. At Uquestra, we use various tracking technologies beyond traditional cookies to enhance your experience on our career development platform focused on sustainable floristry.
These technologies include web beacons, pixel tags, local storage, and session identifiers. Each serves a specific purpose in helping us understand how you interact with our platform, what content interests you most, and how we can improve your learning journey in sustainable floristry practices.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Cookies
These are absolutely necessary for our website to function. They enable basic features like page navigation, access to secure areas, and remembering your login status. Without these, our platform simply wouldn't work properly.
Functional Cookies
These remember your preferences and choices. For example, they'll recall your preferred language settings, course progress, and customized dashboard layout, making your return visits more personalized and efficient.
Analytical Cookies
We use these to understand how visitors interact with our website. They help us identify which learning modules are most popular, where users spend the most time, and which career development paths generate the most interest.
Marketing Cookies
These track your activity across different websites to build a profile of your interests. We use this information to show you relevant content about sustainable floristry opportunities and career development programs.
How Tracking Enhances Your Experience
When you're browsing our sustainable floristry courses, tracking helps us remember where you left off in a module. If you're halfway through our "Eco-Friendly Wedding Arrangements" course, you'll return to exactly where you stopped, rather than starting over.
Our analytics show us that users from Azerbaijan often prefer evening study sessions, so we've optimized our platform performance for peak usage times. We've also noticed that certain career path assessments are more popular in specific regions, helping us tailor our content recommendations.
Tracking data helps us identify when technical issues occur, allowing us to fix problems before they affect more users.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have complete control over how cookies and tracking technologies work on your device. Most web browsers allow you to manage these settings through their preferences or settings menu. Here's how you can take control:
Browser-Specific Instructions
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Preferences → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Site permissions → Cookies and stored data
- Opera: Settings → Advanced → Privacy & Security → Site Settings
Keep in mind that blocking all cookies might affect your experience on Uquestra. You might need to log in repeatedly, lose your course progress, or see content in a default language rather than your preferred settings.
Data Retention and Your Control
How Long Do We Keep Your Data?
Different types of data have different retention periods. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser, while persistent cookies might stay for months or years, depending on their purpose.
Essential cookies typically last for the duration of your session, functional cookies might persist for up to two years, and marketing cookies usually expire after 13 months.
You can delete stored data at any time through your browser settings. Some browsers also offer "incognito" or "private browsing" modes that don't store cookies or tracking data beyond your current session.
If you create an account with Uquestra, you can also manage data preferences through your user dashboard. We provide options to download your data, request corrections, or delete your account entirely if you choose to stop using our platform.
Third-Party Services and Integration
Our platform integrates with several third-party services to provide you with the best possible learning experience. These might include video hosting services for our floristry tutorials, payment processors for course purchases, and analytics services to help us understand user behavior.
Each of these services may set their own cookies or use their own tracking technologies. While we carefully select partners who maintain high privacy standards, we recommend reviewing their individual privacy policies to understand how they handle your data.
Updates to This Policy
As technology evolves and new privacy regulations emerge, we may need to update this policy. When we make significant changes, we'll notify you through email or by displaying a prominent notice on our website. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we're protecting your privacy.
The sustainable floristry industry is constantly evolving, and so is our platform. As we add new features, courses, and career development tools, we may introduce new types of tracking technologies or modify how existing ones work.
