Cookie & Data Usage Policy
Understanding Our Tracking Technologies
At Drestex, we believe in transparency about how we collect and use data on drestex.com. This policy explains the various tracking technologies we employ and how they help us provide better services for mobile game development education.
When you visit our website, we use several types of tracking technologies including cookies, web beacons, and local storage. These tools help us understand how visitors interact with our content, which sections are most valuable, and how we can improve your learning experience.
We're committed to responsible data collection that serves both your needs and our educational mission. Every tracking method we use has a specific purpose in enhancing your experience with our mobile game development resources.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Tracking
These are necessary for basic website functionality, including login sessions, form submissions, and security features. We cannot provide our services without these.
Functional Tracking
These remember your preferences like language settings, accessibility options, and customized learning paths to make your experience more personalized.
Analytical Tracking
We use these to understand which educational content is most helpful, how students navigate our courses, and where we can improve our teaching materials.
Performance Tracking
These help us monitor website speed, identify technical issues, and ensure our learning platform runs smoothly across different devices and browsers.
How Tracking Enhances Your Learning Experience
Our tracking systems help us create better educational content by showing us which tutorials are most effective, where students commonly get stuck, and what additional resources might be helpful. For example, if we notice many students revisiting our Unity basics section, we might create more detailed supplementary materials.
We also use tracking to personalize your learning journey. If you're particularly interested in 2D game development, our system can highlight relevant courses and suggest logical next steps in your education path.
Data Retention and Your Control
We keep different types of data for varying periods based on their purpose and legal requirements:
- Session Data: Deleted when you close your browser or after 24 hours of inactivity
- Preference Settings: Stored for up to 2 years to maintain your customized experience
- Analytics Data: Aggregated and anonymized data kept for up to 3 years for educational improvement
- Course Progress: Maintained for the duration of your enrollment plus 1 additional year
You have several options for controlling your data. You can clear your browser's stored data at any time, opt out of non-essential tracking through your browser settings, or contact us directly to discuss specific data concerns.
Remember that disabling certain tracking may limit some features of our educational platform, such as progress saving and personalized course recommendations.

Third-Party Services and Data Sharing
We work with carefully selected third-party services to enhance our educational platform. These include analytics providers who help us understand website usage patterns and learning management tools that track course progress.
Any third-party service we use must meet our standards for data protection and student privacy. We never sell personal information to marketers or share individual learning data with outside companies for their commercial purposes.
International Data Transfers
As an Australian-based educational provider, we primarily store data within Australia. However, some of our educational tools and analytics services may process data in other countries with adequate data protection laws. We ensure all international transfers comply with Australian Privacy Principles.
Changes to This Policy
We review and update this policy annually or when we make significant changes to our tracking practices. When updates occur, we'll post the new version on this page and notify enrolled students through email if changes affect how we handle their course data.
Your Rights and Options
You have the right to know what data we collect, how we use it, and who we share it with. You can also request access to your personal data, ask us to correct inaccuracies, or request deletion of your information when legally permissible.
If you're enrolled in one of our courses, keep in mind that deleting all your data may affect your ability to access course materials and track your learning progress. We're happy to discuss options that balance your privacy preferences with your educational goals.
For students under 18, we require parental consent before collecting any personal information beyond what's necessary for basic website functionality.
