Understanding how Flashbeamd uses tracking technologies to enhance your learning experience
Last Updated: March 2025
At Flashbeamd, we believe transparency matters. This policy explains how we use tracking technologies on flashbeamd.com and what control you have over them.
When you visit our site, small data files get stored on your device. These help us remember your preferences, understand which parts of our computer vision curriculum resonate most, and generally make your experience smoother. Think of them as digital bookmarks that help us serve you better.
What Are Tracking Technologies?
Tracking technologies include cookies, web beacons, pixels, and local storage. Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information downloaded to your device when you visit a website. They're sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognizes that cookie.
Types of Tracking We Use
E Essential Tracking
These are the technologies we need just to keep things running. Without them, basic functions wouldn't work—like staying logged into your student portal or accessing course materials you've already unlocked.
- Session authentication for accessing your learning dashboard
- Security tokens that protect your account information
- Load balancing to ensure fast page delivery
- Form data retention during multi-step enrollment processes
F Functional Tracking
These enhance your experience by remembering choices you've made. They recognize you when you return and remember things like your preferred language settings or whether you've dismissed certain notifications.
- Language preference for course materials
- Video playback settings and progress markers
- Code editor theme preferences in programming exercises
- Notification preferences for upcoming workshops
A Analytical Tracking
We use these to understand how people interact with our educational content. Which modules get the most attention? Where do students tend to pause and review material? This data helps us refine our curriculum and identify areas that might need clearer explanation.
- Page view tracking to understand popular content areas
- Time spent on different course sections
- Navigation patterns through learning pathways
- Device and browser information for compatibility improvements
M Marketing Tracking
These help us show you relevant information about upcoming programs and events. They track which pages you've visited so we can understand your interests—whether you're focused on machine learning applications or embedded computer vision systems.
- Campaign effectiveness measurement for our autumn 2025 programs
- Remarketing pixels to show relevant course recommendations
- Conversion tracking for enrollment processes
- A/B testing different educational content presentations
