5. Web Analysis & Cookies

No Third-Party Tracking: Your privacy is highly respected. XpressPads does not use any third-party tracking tools (such as Google Analytics or Facebook Pixel) or external advertisements. Your visit to the public website remains completely free of any external tracking.

Essential Cookies Only: XpressPads exclusively utilizes "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. These are required for the website to function properly, such as maintaining a secure session when logging into the member area. Without these, the core functionality of the course platform would not work.

Server Logs: During a visit to the website, the server stores basic web visit information (IP address, requested URIs, timestamps, and HTTP user-agents).

Internal Course Tracking: For enrolled students, the platform keeps track of individual course progress (e.g., completed lessons) to provide a seamless learning experience. This data is stored strictly internally on secure servers. You retain full control and can enable, disable, or delete your recorded tracking data at any time via the widget settings within the course area.

Affiliate Links: The blog and certain free products may contain affiliate marketing links. XpressPads does not store any cookies on your device related to these affiliate links; they simply direct you to partner websites.
