Understanding how SkillScope uses cookies and tracking technologies to enhance your learning experience
Last Updated: March 15, 2025
What Are Cookies and How We Use Them
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device to remember information about your visit. At SkillScope, we use various tracking technologies to create a personalized and efficient learning environment for our flower arrangement courses and career development programs.
When you visit skillscope.it.com, our system automatically collects certain information through cookies and similar technologies. This helps us understand how you interact with our platform, which courses interest you most, and how we can improve your overall learning experience. We believe in transparency about these practices, which is why we've created this comprehensive guide.
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for basic website functionality. They enable you to navigate between pages, access secure areas, and use features like shopping carts for course enrollment. Without these cookies, our platform cannot function properly.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies remember your preferences and choices, such as your preferred language, course bookmarks, and learning progress. They enhance your experience by personalizing content based on your interests in floral design techniques.
Analytical Cookies
We use analytical cookies to understand how visitors use our website. This includes tracking which courses are most popular, how long students spend on different lessons, and identifying areas where we can improve our educational content.
Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies help us deliver relevant advertisements and measure campaign effectiveness. They track your interests in specific flower arrangement techniques to show you related courses and educational opportunities that match your learning goals.
Tracking Technologies We Employ
Beyond traditional cookies, SkillScope utilizes several tracking technologies to enhance your educational journey. Web beacons, also known as pixel tags, help us measure email engagement when we send you course updates or new lesson notifications. These tiny, invisible images tell us whether you've opened our emails and which links you've clicked.
Local storage technologies allow us to save your course progress and preferences directly on your device. This means you can pick up exactly where you left off in a flower arrangement tutorial, even if you close your browser or switch devices. Session storage temporarily holds information during your visit, helping us maintain your login status and shopping cart contents.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
- Access your browser settings to view, delete, or block cookies from SkillScope and other websites
- Use private or incognito browsing modes to prevent cookies from being stored during your session
- Install browser extensions that give you granular control over tracking technologies
- Adjust your mobile device settings to limit tracking across apps and websites
- Contact our support team to request specific data deletion or opt-out from certain tracking methods
How Tracking Enhances Your Learning Experience
Our tracking technologies work behind the scenes to create a more personalized educational environment. When you're halfway through a course on spring centerpiece arrangements, our system remembers your progress and suggests complementary lessons on seasonal flower selection. This personalization extends to our course recommendations, where we analyze your completed lessons to suggest advanced techniques that align with your developing skills.
We also use tracking data to optimize our platform performance. By understanding which pages load slowly or which video lessons buffer frequently, we can make technical improvements that benefit all our students. This data helps us identify peak usage times, allowing us to scale our servers appropriately and ensure smooth access to course materials during busy periods.
Data Retention and Your Control
We retain cookie data for varying periods depending on the type and purpose. Essential cookies typically expire when you close your browser, while preference cookies may be stored for up to two years to maintain your customized settings. Analytical data is generally retained for 26 months to help us identify long-term trends in course popularity and student engagement patterns.
You have the right to request deletion of your tracking data at any time. Simply contact our privacy team, and we'll remove your stored information within 30 days. Keep in mind that deleting certain cookies may affect your user experience, such as requiring you to re-enter preferences or losing your course progress markers.
Third-Party Services and Data Sharing
SkillScope partners with several third-party services to deliver our educational content effectively. Our video hosting provider uses cookies to remember your preferred playback quality and resume positions in course videos. Payment processors employ their own tracking technologies to prevent fraud and ensure secure transactions when you enroll in courses.
We also work with analytics providers who help us understand student behavior patterns across different demographic groups. This information helps us develop courses that meet the specific needs of different learning communities, whether you're a beginner interested in basic flower arrangement principles or an experienced designer looking to master advanced techniques like ikebana or European floral design.
International Data Transfers and Compliance
As an educational platform serving students globally, SkillScope may transfer your cookie data across international borders to provide consistent service quality. We ensure these transfers comply with applicable privacy laws and implement appropriate safeguards to protect your information during transit and storage.
Our cookie practices align with major privacy regulations, including GDPR for European users and CCPA for California residents. We regularly audit our tracking technologies to ensure compliance and work with legal experts to stay current with evolving privacy requirements. If you have specific concerns about international data transfers, our privacy team can provide detailed information about the safeguards we employ.
