Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help websites remember who you are and what you've done during previous visits. At Zenirian Trainor, we use several types of tracking technologies beyond traditional cookies.

Our tracking methods include HTTP cookies, local storage, session storage, and web beacons. Each serves a specific purpose in delivering our comprehensive game design education services.

Our tracking implementation serves multiple educational and operational purposes. When you access our game mechanics courses, we collect data about your learning patterns, progress through modules, and areas where you might need additional support.

• Tracking course completion rates and identifying challenging concepts that require better explanation
• Personalizing your learning dashboard with relevant resources and next-step recommendations
• Maintaining your progress across different devices and sessions
• Analyzing which teaching methods work best for different types of learners
• Detecting potential technical issues that might disrupt your learning experience
• Customizing email communications based on your course interests and engagement level

For example, if you frequently revisit sections about character progression systems, our tracking helps us suggest advanced courses in RPG mechanics or narrative design. This data also helps our instructors understand which topics generate the most questions.

We believe you should have control over your data. Different types of tracking information are retained for varying periods based on their purpose and legal requirements.

Essential and functional data is kept for the duration of your active learning relationship with us, plus two years for educational record-keeping purposes. Analytics data is typically aggregated and anonymized within six months, while marketing preferences are maintained until you opt out or request deletion.

You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings, though this might affect certain features of our learning platform. Most modern browsers allow you to:

• Block all cookies (though this may prevent you from accessing course materials)
• Delete existing cookies from zeniriantrainor.com
• Set preferences for accepting future cookies
• Receive notifications when websites attempt to place cookies
• Browse in private or incognito mode to limit tracking
