Cookie Usage Policy
How we use tracking technologies to enhance your learning experience at Xomario Prandivo
Last Updated: March 2025
This policy explains how xomarioprandivo.com uses cookies and similar tracking technologies. We believe you should understand what data we collect and why we collect it. And honestly? Most of it exists to make the site actually work for you.
When you visit our platform, small text files get stored on your device. Some are absolutely necessary. Others help us understand which tutorials get the most attention or where students might be getting stuck in a lesson.
What Are Cookies Anyway
Think of cookies as tiny notes your browser keeps about websites you visit. They're just text files. Nothing fancy. They help websites remember you between page loads.
Without cookies, you'd need to log in every single time you clicked to a new page. Your shopping cart would empty. Your language preference would reset. It would be chaos.
We use several types on our physics game design platform:
Essential Cookies
These keep the site functional. They handle your login session, remember your progress through tutorials, and maintain security. You can't turn these off without breaking everything.
Functional Cookies
These remember your preferences. Which tutorials you bookmarked. Whether you prefer dark mode. Your last project settings. They make the experience yours.
Analytics Cookies
We use these to see which lessons work and which ones confuse people. If everyone's dropping out of tutorial three, we need to know that.
Marketing Cookies
These track whether you came from an ad or article. They help us figure out which outreach efforts actually bring interested students to the platform.
Specific Cookies We Use
Here's the actual list of what gets stored when you use our platform. No mystery ingredients.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| xp_session | Maintains your login state and current session | Session only | Essential |
| xp_progress | Tracks completed lessons and current course position | 90 days | Functional |
| xp_preferences | Stores interface settings and display preferences | 1 year | Functional |
| _ga | Google Analytics visitor identification | 2 years | Analytics |
| _gid | Google Analytics session tracking | 24 hours | Analytics |
| xp_source | Remembers how you found us initially | 30 days | Marketing |
About Third-Party Cookies: Some cookies come from services we integrate with. Google Analytics is the main one. We also use embedded YouTube videos for some physics demonstrations, which may set their own cookies.
Why We Actually Need These
Let me be straight with you. The essential cookies aren't optional. Without them, the platform literally won't work. You can't save progress. You can't stay logged in. Projects won't load properly.
The functional ones make everything smoother
When you spend hours adjusting your workspace layout just right, we save that. When you bookmark specific physics formulas you reference constantly, we remember. These cookies exist to prevent you from re-doing setup work every visit.
Analytics help us improve
Back in early 2024, we noticed something weird in our analytics. Students were consistently abandoning the rigid body dynamics tutorial at the same spot. Turns out our explanation of angular momentum was confusing. We rewrote it, and completion rates jumped.
That's what analytics cookies do. They show us patterns we'd never spot otherwise.
Marketing cookies justify existence
Running an educational platform costs money. We need to know if our autumn 2025 enrollment push is working. If we're spending resources on outreach that brings zero interested students, that's a problem we need to fix.
Taking Control of Your Cookies
You've got options. Several, actually.
Use the button at the top of this page
Click "Decline All Non-Essential Cookies" and we'll only keep the absolute necessities. Your learning experience might be less personalized, but you'll still be able to access all course content.
Browser-level controls
Every modern browser lets you manage cookies directly. Here's how:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies
You can block all cookies, block third-party cookies only, or delete existing ones. Just know that blocking everything will break parts of our platform.
Mobile browsers: The process is similar but usually tucked in different menu locations. Check your browser's help documentation if you're struggling to find cookie settings on mobile.
How Long We Keep This Data
Different cookies have different lifespans. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Others stick around longer.
Our functional cookies last up to a year because your preferences shouldn't reset every month. Analytics cookies follow Google's standard retention periods. Marketing cookies expire after 30 days because tracking your source beyond that isn't particularly useful.
You can manually clear cookies anytime through your browser settings. We also provide the rejection button on this page for quick opt-out of non-essential tracking.
Updates and Changes
We update this policy when we add new tracking technologies or change how we use existing ones. The "Last Updated" date at the top tells you when we made the most recent changes.
If we make significant changes, we'll notify active students through email and a banner on the platform. But let's be real – cookie policies don't change that often unless we're adding major new features.
Previous versions are archived if you want to compare what changed.
