Data Usage and Tracking Technologies
Last updated: January 2025
This page explains how nextaturbo.com collects and processes data through browser technologies. We believe in transparency about what information we gather and why it matters for your learning experience.
What Are These Technologies?
When you visit our site, small text files get stored in your browser. Think of them as digital bookmarks that remember things about your visit. Some track which courses you've viewed. Others remember your login status or language preference.
Most educational platforms use these tools. They help us understand how students navigate through our materials and where they might need additional support.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential
These keep the platform working. Without them, you couldn't log in or access course materials. They're active by default and can't be disabled without breaking core functionality.
Functional
Store your preferences like theme choice, playback speed for video lectures, and sidebar configuration. They make your experience more comfortable but aren't strictly necessary.
Analytics
Help us see which learning paths students follow and where they get stuck. This data guides our content improvements and helps identify sections that need clearer explanations.
Communication
Track interactions with course announcements and program updates. They ensure you receive relevant information about upcoming cohorts or curriculum changes.
How We Apply This Data
- Maintain your login session across different pages and visits
- Remember which lessons you've completed in each course module
- Track your progress through certification requirements
- Identify popular learning resources that students find most helpful
- Detect technical issues that affect specific browsers or devices
- Measure enrollment patterns for course planning
- Store your exercise submissions temporarily before final submission
Real Examples
When you pause a video lecture and return later, tracking lets us resume exactly where you left off. If many students rewatch the same section repeatedly, that tells us it might need better explanation or additional examples. Your quiz attempts get stored so you can review incorrect answers later.
Data Retention Periods
| Type | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Session | Until browser closes | Active login and temporary preferences |
| Remember Me | 30 days | Extended login persistence |
| Progress Tracking | 1 year | Course completion and achievement records |
| Analytics | 13 months | Usage patterns and improvement insights |
| Preference Storage | 6 months | Interface customization and settings |
Managing Your Settings
You control how browsers handle these files. Most people leave analytics enabled since it helps improve the platform. But if you prefer more privacy, here's what to do:
Look for Privacy, Security, or Settings in your browser menu. Usually found in the top-right corner under three dots or lines.
Find the section about site data or tracking. Different browsers label this differently, but it's typically under Privacy settings.
Block third-party trackers while allowing first-party ones from nextaturbo.com. This maintains functionality while limiting external tracking.
Remove previously stored files if desired. Be aware this logs you out and resets your preferences.
Browser-Specific Instructions
Each browser has detailed documentation for privacy settings. Search for "manage cookies" plus your browser name to find current instructions.
Impact on Your Experience
Blocking essential tracking prevents platform access entirely. You won't be able to log in or view course content. Functional ones being disabled means you'll need to reset preferences each visit.
Disabling analytics doesn't affect your learning experience at all. You'll still access everything normally. We just won't collect usage data from your sessions.
Technical Note
Some students use private browsing modes. These automatically clear most tracking when you close the window. Your progress won't be saved between sessions unless you manually bookmark specific lessons.
Third-Party Services
We use limited external tools for specific functions. Video hosting happens through a content delivery network that may place its own tracking. Analytics runs through an industry-standard platform that anonymizes your data.
These services have their own policies. We've chosen providers that respect user privacy and comply with data protection standards. You can request information about any specific third-party integration.
Policy Updates
We review this information annually and update it when we change how we handle data. Significant changes get announced through email to enrolled students. The date at the top shows when we last revised this page.
Your Rights and Options
You can request a copy of what data we've collected about your usage. We'll provide a readable report within 30 days. If you want specific information deleted, we'll remove what we can while keeping essential records for course completion verification.
Students in Thailand have the same data protection rights as those in other regions. We treat all user data with the same care regardless of location.
