Cookie Policy
Last Updated: February 2025
At Gorinath, we believe in keeping things transparent. This page explains how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies on gorinath.life. You'll find straightforward information about what data we collect, why we need it, and how you can control it.
We're based in Egypt and serve students interested in Python mobile game development. Our approach to data respects your privacy while helping us create a better learning experience for everyone.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Think of cookies as tiny notes your browser keeps about your visits. When you come to our website, these small text files get stored on your device. They help us remember things like your preferences and keep track of how people use our site.
Cookies can't access other files on your computer or spread viruses. They're just simple text files that talk to our website when you return. Some stick around for years, while others vanish the moment you close your browser.
Session vs. Persistent Cookies
Session cookies disappear when you shut down your browser. We use these to keep you logged in while you're browsing course materials or checking program details.
Persistent cookies hang around longer—sometimes weeks or months. These remember your language settings or whether you've already seen our introduction video.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These make the website actually work. Without them, you couldn't navigate between pages or access secure areas. They're non-negotiable if you want to use our site properly. We use them to maintain your session and remember your login status when you're checking out course information.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices so you don't have to keep repeating yourself. Language preferences, region settings, and display options all fall here. They make your experience smoother but aren't strictly necessary for basic functionality.
Analytics Cookies
We track how visitors interact with our site—which pages get the most attention, where people tend to leave, and what content resonates most. This data helps us improve our educational resources and spot technical issues before they affect too many people.
Marketing Cookies
These track your journey across different websites to build a picture of your interests. We use them sparingly and mainly to show relevant program information to people who've already shown interest in Python game development education.
What We Track and Why
Here's what we actually monitor:
- Page visits: Which sections of our site get the most traffic, helping us understand what prospective students care about
- Time on site: How long people spend reading about our programs—if everyone leaves after 10 seconds, we know something's wrong
- Click patterns: Where you click, what you download, and which calls-to-action actually work
- Device information: Whether you're on mobile or desktop, what browser you're using, screen resolution—this helps us fix compatibility issues
- Referral sources: How you found us, whether through search engines, social media, or direct visits
Taking Control of Your Cookies
Every modern browser lets you manage cookies. You can block them entirely, delete existing ones, or set up exceptions for specific sites. Just know that blocking all cookies might break some features on our site.
Chrome
Head to Settings, then Privacy and Security. Click on Cookies and other site data. From there you can block third-party cookies or clear existing ones. Chrome also lets you see which sites have stored cookies on your device.
Firefox
Open Settings and navigate to Privacy & Security. Under Cookies and Site Data, you'll find options to block or manage cookies. Firefox offers Enhanced Tracking Protection which blocks many trackers by default.
Safari
Go to Preferences, then Privacy. You can prevent cross-site tracking and manage website data from here. Safari takes a more aggressive approach to blocking third-party cookies than most browsers.
Edge
Click Settings, then Cookies and site permissions. Edge gives you three levels of tracking prevention: Basic, Balanced, and Strict. Most people find Balanced works well without breaking too many sites.
How Long We Keep Cookie Data
Different cookies have different lifespans. Here's a breakdown of what we store and for how long:
| Cookie Type | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Session Cookies | Until browser closes | Maintain your active session while browsing |
| Preference Cookies | 12 months | Remember language and display settings |
| Analytics Cookies | 24 months | Track visitor patterns and site improvements |
| Marketing Cookies | 6 months | Show relevant program information to interested visitors |
You can clear cookies manually at any time through your browser settings. This resets everything, though you'll lose saved preferences and might need to log in again.
Third-Party Cookies
Sometimes other companies set cookies through our site. This happens when we embed content from external sources or use third-party analytics tools.
We're selective about third parties. We only work with services that help us understand our audience or deliver educational content more effectively. These partners have their own privacy policies that govern how they use your data.
Common third parties we work with include analytics providers who help us measure site performance and content delivery networks that speed up page loading times. If you want to block third-party cookies specifically, most browsers offer that option without affecting first-party cookies from gorinath.life.
Changes to This Policy
We update this policy occasionally to reflect new tracking technologies or changes in how we collect data. When we make significant changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page.
For major updates that affect your privacy rights, we might send notification emails to registered users. But honestly, it's a good idea to check back here once in a while if you care about this stuff.
