What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?

When you visit brightvisionline.sbs, we use small text files called cookies along with other tracking technologies to store information about your preferences and activity. Think of these as digital breadcrumbs that help us remember you between visits and understand how our journalism training platform is being used.

These tracking mechanisms work silently in the background, collecting data about your browsing patterns, device information, and interactions with our educational content. Some cookies expire when you close your browser, while others remain on your device for extended periods to remember your preferences across multiple sessions.

Types of Tracking We Employ

How Tracking Enhances Your Experience

Our tracking technologies work behind the scenes to create a more personalized learning environment. When you're working through our journalism principles curriculum, cookies remember where you left off in video lectures, save your notes and assignments in progress, and maintain your discussion thread subscriptions.

For instance, if you prefer reading course materials in a specific font size or always want captions enabled during video content, our tracking systems remember these choices. Similarly, when you bookmark particularly useful resources about media ethics or investigative techniques, this information is preserved for future reference.

Managing Your Privacy Settings

You have significant control over how tracking technologies function on your device. Modern web browsers provide built-in tools for managing cookies, and you can configure these settings to block certain types of tracking while allowing essential functionality to continue working properly.

• Access your browser's privacy settings to view and delete existing cookies
• Configure automatic cookie blocking for third-party tracking systems
• Set preferences to receive notifications when websites attempt to store cookies
• Use private browsing modes that automatically discard tracking data after sessions
• Install privacy-focused browser extensions that provide additional tracking protection

Keep in mind that blocking all cookies may impact certain features of our journalism education platform. For example, you might need to re-enter your preferences each time you visit, and some interactive course elements may not function as intended.
