Welcome to TrustDewa, an online education platform devoted to providing high-quality learning experiences. This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and tracking technologies, the types of cookies we deploy, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. We are committed to transparency and protecting your privacy, and this document aims to provide you with all necessary information in a clear and comprehensive manner.
In today's digital age, cookies are an essential part of ensuring that websites function correctly and efficiently. Cookies are small text files stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit our website. They play a crucial role in improving user experiences by remembering your preferences and helping us understand how you engage with our content. By using cookies, we can optimize our platform to better serve your educational needs.
Necessary cookies are fundamental to the functionality of our website. For instance, they enable basic features such as logging into your account, enrolling in courses, and accessing secure areas of the site. Without these cookies, essential services that you expect from our platform, like maintaining session details and protecting your personal data, would be impossible to deliver.
Performance cookies help us enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of our platform. These cookies collect information about how visitors use our site, including which pages are visited most frequently and any errors encountered. This data is invaluable in enabling us to analyze and improve the quality of our educational content and overall user experience. For example, performance cookies allow us to identify and address issues quickly, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted learning.
Functional cookies personalize your experience by storing your preferences and settings. These cookies remember choices you make, such as language selection, and tailor our platform to suit your needs. By doing so, functional cookies enhance your learning journey by ensuring that the content and features you interact with are most relevant to you. This could mean remembering your progress in a course or your preferred study schedule.
Targeting cookies may be used to deliver content and advertisements that are more relevant to your interests. Although not always employed on educational platforms, when used, these cookies help create a personalized experience by tracking your browsing habits and showing you educational materials aligned with your preferences. For instance, if you frequently search for courses in a particular subject, targeting cookies could help suggest related courses or materials.
Together, these cookies form a cohesive data ecosystem that allows us to provide a seamless educational experience. By integrating different types of cookies, we ensure that our platform operates smoothly, meets your needs efficiently, and continues to improve based on real user insights. Understanding this system helps you appreciate the balance between utility and privacy that cookies help achieve.

It is essential to understand your options for managing cookies and the implications of these choices on your educational experience with TrustDewa.

You can revisit these settings anytime through our website's cookie preference center.
Disabling certain categories of cookies can impact the functionality of our platform. For example, blocking necessary cookies may prevent you from accessing secure areas or maintaining your course progress. On the other hand, disabling performance or targeting cookies might reduce the personalized aspects of your learning experience. It is crucial to understand these impacts to make informed decisions regarding your cookie preferences.
Several third-party tools and browser extensions can further assist in managing cookies, offering enhanced privacy controls. Tools such as AdBlock Plus or Privacy Badger help monitor and block tracking cookies, providing an added layer of security. These tools are particularly beneficial for those who wish to maintain a high level of privacy while using educational platforms.
Finding the right balance between privacy and functionality is key to maximizing your experience on TrustDewa. While it is essential to protect your personal data, some level of cookie usage is necessary for a smooth and personalized learning journey. Consider your privacy needs against the practical benefits cookies provide, and adjust your settings accordingly to ensure an optimal educational experience.
We retain data collected through cookies for specific periods to ensure it serves its intended purpose. Typically, session cookies are deleted when you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain until they expire or are manually deleted. Each type of cookie has its own retention timeframe, detailed in our internal data retention policies. This practice ensures that we do not retain data longer than necessary, protecting your privacy.
Security measures are in place to protect cookie data from unauthorized access and breaches. We employ technical safeguards such as encryption and secure transmission protocols (HTTPS) to protect data integrity. Additionally, organizational measures like regular security audits and staff training help maintain a secure data environment. These efforts collectively ensure that cookie data is handled with the highest level of security.
Cookie data is integrated within our broader privacy framework, adhering to rigorous data protection standards. For instance, cookie information may be combined with other user data to create detailed user profiles that help us deliver customized educational content. This integration process is carefully managed to ensure compliance with relevant privacy laws and to uphold our commitment to user confidentiality.
Our compliance efforts with applicable regulations such as the GDPR and CCPA are thorough and ongoing.
