What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. Think of them as digital notes that help websites remember who you are and what you've done during previous visits. At Zivina, we use various tracking technologies to enhance your experience on our mobile app development platform.

Beyond traditional cookies, we also employ web beacons, pixel tags, and similar technologies. These tools work together to collect information about how you interact with our website, helping us understand user behavior patterns and improve our services for developers in the Azerbaijan market and beyond.

Why This Matters to You

Understanding our tracking practices helps you make informed decisions about your privacy. We believe transparency is crucial when it comes to data collection, especially for technical professionals who value control over their digital footprint.

Types of Tracking We Use

We categorize our tracking technologies based on their function and necessity. Each type serves a specific purpose in delivering and improving our mobile app development services.

How Tracking Enhances Your Experience

Our tracking technologies aren't just about collecting data – they're about creating a better experience for developers using our platform. Here's how these technologies benefit you specifically:

Personalized Learning Paths

When you browse our learning materials, our tracking helps us understand your skill level and interests. If you spend time on iOS development resources, we'll prioritize showing you advanced Swift tutorials and relevant upcoming courses.

Progress Tracking

Cookies help us remember where you left off in courses, which exercises you've completed, and what topics you've bookmarked. This creates a seamless learning experience across multiple sessions and devices.

Performance Optimization

We analyze how quickly pages load for different users and identify performance bottlenecks. This data helps us optimize our platform for developers working in various network conditions throughout Azerbaijan and other regions.

Third-Party Services

We work with several third-party services that may place their own cookies on your device. These include analytics providers, content delivery networks, and educational technology partners who help us deliver our mobile app development courses.

Each third-party service has its own privacy policy and cookie practices. While we carefully select partners who share our commitment to user privacy, we recommend reviewing their policies if you have specific concerns about data collection.

Analytics Partners

We use analytics services to understand user behavior and improve our platform. These services may collect information about your device, browser, and interaction patterns with our content.

Educational Technology Providers

Some of our interactive coding exercises and development tools are powered by specialized platforms. These may use their own tracking to provide features like code compilation, real-time collaboration, and progress assessment.

Updates to This Policy

Technology evolves quickly, and so do our practices for using tracking technologies. We review and update this cookie policy regularly to reflect changes in our services, legal requirements, and industry best practices.

When we make significant changes, we'll notify users through our platform and update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review this policy periodically, especially if you have specific privacy preferences or concerns.

For mobile app developers who work with sensitive data or have strict privacy requirements, staying informed about our data practices helps you make decisions that align with your professional and personal privacy standards.
