What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit our website. Think of them as memory markers that help our site remember your preferences and understand how you interact with our content.
Beyond traditional cookies, we also use similar technologies like web beacons, pixels, and local storage. These tools help us deliver a personalized experience while you explore blockchain insurance solutions on our platform.
Some of these trackers stay active only during your visit. Others remain on your device for longer periods, remembering your settings for future visits. The duration depends on their purpose and your browser settings.
Types of Tracking We Use
We categorize our tracking technologies based on their function. Each type serves a specific purpose in making your experience smoother and more relevant.
Essential Trackers
These are the backbone of our website functionality. They enable core features like secure login, page navigation, and access to protected areas. Without them, basic services wouldn't work properly. We don't ask for permission because they're necessary for the site to operate.
Functional Trackers
These remember your choices and preferences. Language settings, display preferences, and personalized content fall into this category. They make your visits more comfortable by reducing repetitive actions and remembering what matters to you.
Analytics Trackers
We use these to understand how visitors interact with our content. Which educational resources get the most attention? Where do people spend time learning? This information helps us improve our educational materials about blockchain insurance technology.
Marketing Trackers
These help us show you relevant information about our programs and services. They track your interests across our site so we can present educational content that matches what you're actually looking for. They also measure how effective our outreach efforts are.
How We Use These Technologies
Our tracking serves several practical purposes. When you return to our site, we recognize you and restore your preferences. Your selected language, bookmarked articles, and learning progress stay intact.
Improving Your Learning Experience
We analyze which educational resources resonate with learners. If a particular module about blockchain consensus mechanisms gets heavy engagement, we know it's valuable and create more content in that vein.
We also monitor technical performance. If pages load slowly or errors occur frequently in certain sections, our tracking data alerts us to fix those issues quickly.
Security and Fraud Prevention
Some trackers help us identify suspicious activity. Multiple failed login attempts, unusual access patterns, or attempts to breach secure areas trigger alerts. This protects both our platform and your data.
Content Personalization
Based on your interactions, we suggest relevant learning materials. If you've been reading about smart contracts in insurance, we might highlight our upcoming workshop on decentralized claims processing scheduled for September 2025.
We don't sell your tracking data to third parties. The information we collect stays within our organization or with trusted service providers who help us run the platform.
Managing Your Preferences
You have control over most tracking technologies through your browser settings. Every major browser lets you view, manage, and delete cookies stored on your device.
Here's how to manage cookies in popular browsers:
Chrome Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
Firefox Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
Safari Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
Edge Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies
Keep in mind that blocking all cookies might affect your experience. Some features depend on these technologies to work properly. You might need to log in repeatedly or reconfigure your preferences each visit.
Most browsers also offer "Do Not Track" settings. While we respect these signals, industry standards for interpreting them vary. We recommend using your browser's cookie controls for more predictable results.
Data Retention and Storage
Different trackers have different lifespans. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Persistent cookies might stay for weeks or months, depending on their purpose.
- Essential cookies: Active during your session and immediately cleared when you leave
- Preference cookies: Typically stored for 12 months to remember your settings
- Analytics cookies: Usually retained for 24 months to track long-term trends
- Marketing cookies: Generally expire after 90 days unless refreshed by return visits
We review our tracking data regularly and delete information that no longer serves a purpose. Our servers are secured with industry-standard encryption and access controls.
Third-Party Services
Some tracking technologies on our site come from partners who help us deliver services. These include analytics providers, content delivery networks, and educational platform integrations.
These third parties have their own privacy policies governing how they collect and use data. We choose partners carefully, but we recommend reviewing their policies if you want complete transparency about data handling.
Our current third-party services include tools for website analytics, video hosting for educational content, and secure payment processing for program enrollment. Each operates under strict data handling agreements.
Updates to This Policy
We update this policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. When we make significant changes, we'll notify you through a banner on our website or via email if you're enrolled in our programs.
The date at the top of this page shows when we last revised the policy. We encourage you to review it periodically, especially if you're concerned about how your data is handled.
By continuing to use wavechargehub.com after changes take effect, you accept the updated policy. If you disagree with changes, you can adjust your browser settings or stop using our site.
