Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies Anyway?

Look, cookies aren't anything mysterious. They're just small text files that get stored on your device when you browse our site. Think of them as tiny notes that help us remember your preferences.

When you come back to tosmotex.com, these files let us recognize you and recall what you were doing. Maybe you were halfway through reading about Unity development or comparing our program options. Cookies help us pick up where you left off.

Some cookies stick around for months. Others disappear the moment you close your browser. We use both types, and each serves a specific purpose in making your learning journey smoother.

How We Use Tracking Technologies

Beyond cookies, we also use similar tracking methods. Web beacons, pixel tags, local storage – these all help us understand how people interact with our educational content.

Here's what we're actually tracking: which pages get the most attention, where people tend to drop off, what devices they're using. This information shapes how we improve our AR and VR curriculum.

We're not interested in building some creepy profile of you. We just want to know if our "Before You Start" section is actually helpful or if people skip it entirely. That kind of insight matters when you're building an education platform.

The Different Types We Use

Why This Matters for Your Experience

Without cookies, every visit to tosmotex.com would feel like your first time. You'd have to log in repeatedly. Your progress through our learning materials wouldn't save. The site wouldn't remember if you prefer light or dark mode.

Analytics cookies show us real behavior. Last month, we noticed people were bouncing from our VR section pretty quickly. Turns out, we'd buried the most interesting content three clicks deep. We restructured it, and engagement tripled. That's the practical value of this data.

Marketing cookies prevent you from seeing the same ad about our programs fifteen times. They help us show relevant information to people who might actually benefit from learning game development. It's more efficient for everyone involved.

Data Retention and Storage

We don't keep this data forever. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Persistent cookies typically last between 30 days and two years, depending on their purpose.

Analytics data gets anonymized after 14 months. We keep the patterns but lose the individual identifiers. Marketing cookies usually expire after 90 days, which is standard for understanding campaign effectiveness without overstaying our welcome.

If you create an account with us, you can request deletion of your data at any time. We'll clear everything except what we're legally required to keep for financial records. That process usually takes about five business days.

Third-Party Services

We work with a few external services that place their own cookies. Our video hosting platform drops cookies to remember playback quality preferences. Our payment processor uses them for security verification.

These third parties have their own privacy policies. We vet them carefully, but you should read their policies too if you're concerned. We don't give them more access than they need to provide their specific service.

Analytics tools like the ones we use are pretty standard in education tech. They help us compete with larger platforms by giving us insights we couldn't gather manually. But yes, they do involve third-party cookies.

Updates to This Policy

Technology changes. Regulations evolve. We'll update this policy when needed, and the date at the top will reflect that. Major changes will get announced through email if you're registered with us.

We're not in the business of pulling fast ones on students. If we start using cookies in substantially different ways, you'll know about it. Transparency matters, especially in education.
