Cookie Usage Policy
Last updated: January 2025
What Are Cookies and Why Do We Use Them?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit our website. We use them to make righttechvelox.com work better for you. Some help the site remember your preferences, others help us understand how people use our platform so we can improve the learning experience.
Think of cookies like bookmarks that remember where you left off in a course, or notes that help us figure out which tutorials are most helpful. They're not programs and can't carry viruses. Most websites use them, and you've probably accepted hundreds without realizing it.
We're transparent about what we track. Essential cookies keep the site functioning. Others help us see patterns in how students navigate courses or which 3D modeling tutorials get the most engagement. And some, if you allow them, remember your login details so you don't have to type them every single time.
Types of Cookies We Use
Not all cookies do the same thing. Here's what you'll encounter on our platform and what each type actually does.
How Long Do Cookies Stay on Your Device?
Cookies don't live forever. Some disappear the moment you close your browser. Others stick around for months or years depending on their purpose.
Session Cookies
These are temporary and deleted automatically when you close your browser. They're mainly used for essential functions like keeping you logged in while you navigate between lessons. Once you shut down the browser, they're gone.
Persistent Cookies
These remain on your device for a set period, anywhere from a few days to two years. They remember your preferences so you don't have to reconfigure settings every visit. For example, if you always watch videos at 1.5x speed, a persistent cookie remembers that choice.
Data Retention
We review and delete old cookies regularly. Analytics data is typically stored for 26 months. Marketing cookies usually expire after 90 days. Essential cookies last only as long as your session or until you log out.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You're in control. You can accept all cookies, reject non-essential ones, or configure your browser to block them entirely. Here's how to do it in different browsers.
Browser Settings
Google Chrome
Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
Mozilla Firefox
Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
Safari
Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
Microsoft Edge
Settings → Privacy, search, and services → Cookies
Blocking all cookies might break certain features on our site. Course progress tracking, video player settings, and login functionality all depend on cookies. If something stops working after you change cookie settings, that's probably why.
You can also use the button at the top of this page to decline all non-essential cookies with one click. This keeps the site functional while stopping analytics and marketing tracking. Your preference is saved locally and will be respected on future visits.

Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our site come from external services we use. Video hosting, analytics platforms, and advertising networks may place their own cookies when you visit righttechvelox.com.
Video Content Providers
When you watch embedded tutorial videos, the video platform may set cookies to remember playback quality, track viewing statistics, or suggest related content. These are controlled by the video provider's privacy policy, not ours.
Analytics Services
We use analytics tools to understand how students interact with our courses. These services set their own cookies to measure traffic, user behavior, and conversion rates. The data helps us identify which tutorials work well and which need improvement.
Social Media Integration
If we embed social media content or sharing buttons, those platforms may track your activity even if you don't interact with them. This is standard practice for social networks and controlled by their own privacy settings.
Your Rights
You have the right to know what data is collected, how it's used, and who has access to it. You can request deletion of your data or opt out of third-party tracking at any time. Contact us if you have questions about specific third-party cookies.
Updates to This Policy
Web technology changes constantly. We update this policy when we add new features, change tracking methods, or adopt new analytics tools.
The last update was in January 2025. We'll post notices on the site when significant changes occur. Continuing to use righttechvelox.com after updates means you accept the revised policy. If you disagree with changes, you can adjust your cookie settings or stop using the site.
We don't make changes lightly. Any updates are driven by genuine improvements to the platform, compliance with new regulations, or adoption of better privacy practices. We're committed to transparency about how we handle your data.
