We understand that our users come from various geographic regions with different privacy requirements. We take special care to address these considerations by implementing region-specific data handling practices where necessary.

In addition to cookies, Epic Learn utilizes various other tracking methods to enhance website functionality and gather analytical data. These technologies provide additional insights and help us deliver a more seamless and engaging experience.
Web beacons and pixel tags are small, transparent images embedded into webpages or emails. They help us understand how users interact with our content by tracking actions like page views and email opens.
These technologies allow us to measure the effectiveness of our communications and optimize our content based on user engagement. By analyzing this data, we can improve the relevance and quality of our educational resources.
Local storage and session storage are browser-based technologies that store data on the user's device. Unlike cookies, this data is not sent with every server request but is accessible locally within the browser.
We use local and session storage to store information such as user preferences, learning progress, and temporary session data. These storage methods help enhance the performance and responsiveness of our platform.
Fingerprinting and device recognition technologies identify unique characteristics of your device, such as browser type, operating system, and screen resolution. These methods help us maintain security and personalize your experience.
By recognizing your device, we can provide a consistent experience across sessions and ensure that your preferences and settings are applied regardless of the device you use to access our platform.
Server-side tracking involves collecting data directly from our servers rather than from the client-side browser. This method provides a more robust and reliable way to gather user interaction data and monitor site performance.
Server-side tracking enables us to analyze user behavior, measure engagement metrics, and identify potential issues without relying solely on client-side technologies. This approach ensures the accuracy and completeness of our analytical data.
We provide various options for managing these alternative tracking methods. You can control web beacons and pixel tags by adjusting your email client settings to block images or using browser extensions designed to block trackers.
For local and session storage, you can clear stored data through your browser settings. Additionally, you can use privacy-focused extensions to manage fingerprinting and server-side tracking activities.
We aim to offer a transparent and user-friendly approach to data tracking, allowing you to make informed decisions about your privacy. By understanding the different tracking methods we use, you can better manage your preferences and enjoy a secure and personalized learning experience on Epic Learn.
