Cookie Usage Policy
Understanding how Distinctivelex Hub uses tracking technologies to enhance your learning experience
Last Updated: February 15, 2025
What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. These files help us remember your preferences, understand how you interact with our content, and provide you with a more personalized learning experience on omnidatacircle.sbs.
Beyond traditional cookies, we also use similar technologies like web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage. Think of these as digital assistants that help our platform work more efficiently for you. They remember which courses you've viewed, your progress through materials, and settings you've chosen to customize your experience.
Types of Tracking We Use
-
Essential Functionality Cookies
These keep our platform working properly. They remember you're logged in, maintain your shopping cart contents, and ensure forms work correctly when you contact us or enroll in programs.
-
Performance and Analytics
We track which pages are most helpful, how long people spend reading different sections, and where users typically exit. This helps us improve our educational content and site navigation.
-
Personalization Features
These remember your language preferences, course interests, and previously viewed materials. They help us suggest relevant content and remember your customization choices.
-
Marketing and Outreach
We use these to understand which marketing campaigns bring people to our site and to show relevant educational content across other websites you visit.
How This Benefits Your Experience
When you return to omnidatacircle.sbs, our tracking helps you pick up exactly where you left off in course materials. If you were reading about group dynamics techniques, we'll remember that interest and suggest related workshops or articles.
For our collective psychology programs, this technology helps us understand which learning approaches work best. We can see that people spend more time on interactive case studies than text-heavy theoretical sections, so we adjust our content accordingly.
Data Retention Periods
Most cookies expire after 12 months of inactivity. Essential functionality cookies remain active as long as you use our site. Analytics data is aggregated and anonymized after 26 months.
Third-Party Services
We work with Google Analytics for site performance insights and educational content platforms that help deliver course materials. These services have their own privacy practices we've carefully reviewed.
Your Control Options
Decline All Non-Essential Cookies
Essential cookies for site functionality cannot be disabled. These include login sessions, form submissions, and basic site navigation features required for our platform to work properly.
Browser-Level Cookie Management
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, or block cookies entirely. Keep in mind that blocking all cookies may limit functionality on many websites, including educational platforms like ours.
Specific Examples of Our Tracking
When you browse our collective psychology resources, we track which articles you read completely versus those you skim. This helps us understand that shorter, more focused pieces on topics like group decision-making get better engagement than longer theoretical discussions.
If you start reading about social influence techniques but don't finish, we might suggest a related webinar or send a follow-up email with additional resources. We're not trying to be intrusive – we're trying to support your learning journey with relevant content.
Updates to This Policy
As digital privacy regulations evolve and we add new features to our educational platform, we update this policy accordingly. We'll notify active users of significant changes through email and prominent notices on our website.
The last major update was in February 2025 when we clarified our data retention practices and simplified the cookie rejection process based on user feedback.
