Cookie Policy
We're straightforward about how luminous-enrg.com uses tracking technologies. This policy explains what data we collect, why we need it, and how you can control your preferences.
Last Updated: February 2025When you visit luminous-enrg.com, we use cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve your experience and understand how our educational platform performs. Some of these are necessary for basic functionality, while others help us analyze patterns and optimize our blockchain governance learning materials.
You have control over which cookies you accept. And honestly, we think it's important you understand what's happening behind the scenes when you interact with our site.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit websites. They help sites remember your preferences, track your activity, and provide personalized experiences.
Think of them as digital sticky notes. Some expire when you close your browser, while others stick around for months or even years. They don't contain viruses or malware, but they do collect information about how you use our platform.
We use both first-party cookies that we set directly and third-party cookies from external services we integrate with for analytics and functionality.
Types of Cookies We Use
We categorize our cookies based on their purpose. Here's what each type does on luminous-enrg.com:
Essential Cookies
These keep the site running. They handle security, load balancing, and basic navigation. Without them, you couldn't access protected areas or move between pages reliably. We can't disable these because they're fundamental to the platform working at all.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices like language preferences, display settings, and which courses you've started. They make your experience smoother by not asking for the same information repeatedly. You can disable them, but you'll need to reset preferences each visit.
Analytics Cookies
We track how people interact with our educational content to identify what works and what doesn't. Which lessons get abandoned halfway through? Where do students spend the most time? This data helps us refine our blockchain governance curriculum and improve learning outcomes.
Marketing Cookies
These track your browsing patterns to show relevant content recommendations and understand which channels bring visitors to our platform. We use this to evaluate our outreach effectiveness and tailor communications. You can opt out without affecting core functionality.
Specific Cookies on Our Platform
Here's a detailed breakdown of what we're actually tracking:
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | 
|---|---|---|
| session_id | Maintains your login state and tracks your session across pages | Session only | 
| user_preferences | Stores your display settings and interface customizations | 12 months | 
| analytics_token | Anonymized identifier for tracking site usage patterns | 24 months | 
| course_progress | Saves your position in learning modules | 6 months | 
| marketing_consent | Records your communication preferences | 36 months | 
We also use third-party analytics services that set their own cookies. These providers have their own privacy policies, and we recommend reviewing them if you're concerned about external tracking.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You're not stuck with our default settings. Most browsers let you control cookies through their settings menu. But be aware that blocking all cookies will probably break parts of the site.
Browser-Specific Instructions
You can also use private browsing modes, which automatically delete cookies when you close your browser. Or install browser extensions that give you more granular control over tracking.
How Long We Store Cookie Data
Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Persistent cookies have specific expiration dates that range from a few months to several years, depending on their purpose.
Essential cookies typically last only for your current session. Functional and preference cookies might stick around for 6 to 12 months. Analytics and marketing cookies can persist for up to 24 months.
We periodically review and clean up outdated cookie data. If you want to remove everything immediately, use your browser's clear browsing data function.
Third-Party Services and Tracking
We integrate with external platforms for analytics, content delivery, and infrastructure support. These services may set their own cookies when you interact with our site.
Current Third-Party Integrations
- Analytics providers that track user behavior and generate usage reports
 - Content delivery networks that optimize loading speeds across different regions
 - Video hosting platforms embedded in our educational modules
 - Payment processors for handling course enrollments and transactions
 - Communication tools for student support and inquiry management
 
Each of these services operates under its own privacy policy. We choose partners carefully, but we can't control their data practices once information leaves our platform.
Updates to This Policy
We'll update this policy when we change how we use cookies or integrate new tracking technologies. Major changes will be announced through our platform, but we won't send individual notifications for minor clarifications.
Check the last updated date at the top of this page. If it's been a while since you last read through this, it's worth reviewing again to see what's changed.
