What Are Cookies, Really?

Small text files. That's all cookies are. Your browser saves them when you visit websites. They help us remember your preferences and understand how people use our platform.

Some cookies are essential for the site to work. Others help us improve the learning experience. And some track how you found us so we can focus our education efforts where they matter most.

We're legally required to tell you about this stuff. But more importantly, we think you deserve to know what's happening behind the scenes.

Cookie Types We Use

Specific Cookies We Deploy

Here's the actual technical breakdown if you want the specifics:

• Session cookies: Expire when you close your browser. Handle login state and temporary preferences.
• _ga, _gid: Google Analytics cookies that last 2 years and 24 hours respectively. Track visitor patterns and learning behavior.
• cookieConsent: Stored in localStorage, remembers your cookie preferences so we don't bug you repeatedly.
• User preference cookies: Remember your chosen settings for course layouts and interface options.
• Security cookies: Prevent unauthorized access and protect your learning progress data.

Malaysia Regulations and Google Consent Mode v2

Google Consent Mode v2 requires explicit consent signals for advertising and analytics storage. When you click "Decline All Tracking Cookies," we set ad_storage and analytics_storage to denied. This stops personalized tracking while still allowing basic, anonymous aggregate statistics.

For students in Malaysia, your data stays within regulatory frameworks. We don't sell your information to third parties. Analytics data helps us understand which mini-game programming tutorials work best and where we need to add more support.

How Cookies Improve Your Learning

Let's be practical. Cookies make your experience better in ways you probably don't think about.

They remember where you left off in a course. They keep track of your completed modules. They ensure you don't see the same introduction tutorial five times if you navigate away and come back.

Analytics cookies show us that students struggle with certain JavaScript concepts, so we add extra examples. Or that mobile learners have trouble with code formatting, so we redesign that interface.

Marketing cookies help us find more students interested in social casino game development. Instead of advertising everywhere, we can focus on people actually searching for mini-games programming education.

Without functional cookies, you'd need to reset your preferences every single visit. That gets old fast.

Your Control Options

You have real control here. Not just theoretical.

Use the "Decline All Tracking Cookies" button at the top of this page. That removes analytics and marketing cookies immediately. Essential cookies stay because they're required for basic functionality.

Your browser also has cookie management tools. Chrome, Firefox, Safari—they all let you view, delete, and block cookies. You can even set them to clear automatically when you close the browser.

Some students use privacy-focused browsers or extensions. That's completely fine. Our courses work with those tools, though you might need to manually enable certain features.

If you have questions about specific cookies or want to know exactly what data we collect, email us. We'll give you straight answers without corporate doublespeak.

What Happens When You Reject Cookies

Be honest—most people don't read this stuff. But if you do reject tracking cookies, here's what actually changes:

We stop collecting analytics data from your sessions. Your course progress still saves because that's essential functionality. But we won't know which tutorials you found helpful or where you spent time.

Marketing platforms won't track your visit. If you came from a Google search or social media ad, that connection gets severed. We won't show you retargeting ads based on your platform activity.

The site still works perfectly. Login, course access, progress tracking—all that continues normally. You just become anonymous in our aggregate statistics.

Your rejection preference gets saved in localStorage. That's technically not a cookie, but it serves the same purpose: we remember your choice so you don't see constant popups.
