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 bookmarks that help websites remember your preferences and provide a smoother browsing experience. At Smallshxz, we use various tracking technologies including cookies, web beacons, and local storage to understand how you interact with our career development platform.

These technologies work quietly in the background, collecting information about your browsing patterns, course preferences, and learning progress. Some cookies are temporary and disappear when you close your browser, while others remain on your device for longer periods to remember your settings between visits.

Beyond traditional cookies, we also employ pixel tags and similar technologies that help us measure the effectiveness of our educational content and understand which resources are most valuable to our family law students and professionals.

Types of Tracking Technologies We Use

How We Use Your Data

The information we collect through cookies serves several important purposes in delivering quality legal education. We analyze learning patterns to identify which teaching methods work best for different types of learners, helping us refine our approach to family law instruction.

We never sell your personal data to third parties. The information collected helps us create a more effective learning environment and ensures our resources remain relevant to current legal practices and career development needs.

Data Retention and Storage

Different types of cookies have varying lifespans depending on their purpose. Session cookies expire when you close your browser, while persistent cookies may remain for months or years to maintain your preferences and learning progress.

We store analytical data for up to 26 months to identify long-term trends in legal education and career development patterns. Marketing cookies typically last 12 months, allowing us to provide relevant course recommendations throughout your learning journey.

Essential cookies remain active only during your session or for short periods afterward to maintain security and basic functionality. Your learning progress and course completion data may be retained longer to support ongoing educational services and certification tracking.

Browser Controls and Third-Party Tools

Most modern browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can block cookies entirely, delete existing ones, or set up notifications when new cookies are created. Keep in mind that disabling cookies may limit your ability to access certain features of our educational platform.

Popular browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge each have different methods for managing cookies. You can typically find these options in the privacy or security sections of your browser settings. Some browsers also offer private browsing modes that don't store cookies after your session ends.

Additionally, you can use browser extensions and privacy tools that automatically block tracking cookies while still allowing essential website functionality. These tools can provide more granular control over your online privacy preferences.
