What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit our website. Think of them like digital sticky notes that help websites remember things about your visit. Some cookies are essential for basic functionality, while others help us understand how people use our AI gaming tools and educational resources.

At perplexyt.com, we use several types of tracking technologies beyond traditional cookies—including web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage. All of these work together to create a better experience when you're exploring AI applications in gaming and entertainment.

Essential Cookies We Use

Some cookies are necessary for our website to work properly. You can't disable these through browser settings because they're fundamental to site operation. These essential cookies don't track your behavior across other websites.

  • Session management cookies that keep you logged into your learning dashboard
  • Security tokens that protect your account from unauthorized access
  • Load balancing cookies that distribute traffic across our servers
  • Cookie consent preferences (remembering your choice about cookie usage)
  • Shopping cart functionality for course enrollment and resource purchases

These essential cookies typically expire when you close your browser, though some persist for up to 24 hours to maintain your session during brief disconnections.

Types of Tracking Technologies

Functional Cookies

These remember your preferences like language settings, theme choices, and interface customizations. They help personalize your experience but aren't strictly necessary for the site to function.

Analytics Tracking

We use analytics tools to understand which AI gaming tutorials get the most engagement and where learners encounter difficulties. This helps us improve content and identify technical issues.

Performance Monitoring

These technologies track page load times, video streaming quality, and interactive element responsiveness. They help us optimize the technical performance of our educational platform.

Marketing Tools

Marketing cookies track your interaction with our content to show relevant program recommendations and event notifications. They may also enable social media sharing features.

How Tracking Enhances Your Experience

When you're working through our AI in gaming curriculum, tracking technologies do more than just collect data. They enable smart features like resuming video tutorials where you left off, saving your progress in interactive coding exercises, and suggesting relevant resources based on your learning path.

For example, if you're frequently accessing machine learning content for game development, our systems can prioritize showing you upcoming workshops on neural networks in procedural generation. This kind of personalization only works with functional and analytics cookies enabled.

Analytics also help us identify which teaching methods work best. If we notice learners struggling with a particular concept in AI character behavior, we can create additional support materials or restructure the content presentation.

Data Retention and Storage

Different types of cookies have different lifespans. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Persistent cookies might stick around for months or even years, depending on their purpose.

Analytics data gets aggregated and anonymized after 90 days. We keep course progress data for active learners for up to two years after last activity. Marketing preference cookies typically expire after one year, though you can clear them anytime through your browser settings.

Essential security cookies have the shortest lifespan—usually just a few hours or until you log out. This reduces security risks while still providing convenience.

Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

Every modern browser gives you control over cookie settings. You can block all cookies, accept only first-party cookies, or manually approve each one. Keep in mind that blocking essential cookies will prevent certain site features from working.

  • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
  • Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
  • Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
  • Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies

If you're using mobile devices, look for similar privacy controls in your browser app settings. Most mobile browsers also support "Do Not Track" requests, though not all websites honor these signals.

Third-Party Services

Some cookies on perplexyt.com come from third-party services we integrate with—like video hosting platforms for our tutorials, collaboration tools for project work, and payment processors for course enrollment. These services have their own privacy policies and cookie practices.

We carefully vet all third-party integrations to ensure they meet reasonable privacy standards. However, we can't control how these external services handle data once it leaves our platform. Check their individual privacy policies for specifics.

When you reject non-essential cookies using the button above, we'll communicate your preference to these third-party services where technically possible. Some services may still use essential cookies for basic functionality.

Updates to This Policy

We update our cookie practices as technology evolves and as we add new features to the platform. The last major revision to this policy was in January 2025. When we make significant changes that affect how we use tracking technologies, we'll notify active users through email and dashboard announcements.

Minor updates—like adding a new analytics tool or adjusting retention periods—might happen without notification. We recommend checking this page periodically if you're concerned about tracking practices.
