Understanding how StreamPulse uses tracking technologies to enhance your learning experience
Last updated: February 2025
We believe in transparency. This policy explains how streampulse.life uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our site.
Think of cookies as small helpers that remember your preferences and make your browsing smoother. They're not programs and can't access your computer—just tiny text files that sit in your browser.
What Are These Technologies?
When you browse our site, we use several methods to understand how you interact with our content. Cookies are the most common, but there are others too.
A cookie is basically a small data file. Your browser stores it locally. When you return to our site, we can read that file and recognize your preferences—like whether you prefer light or dark mode, or which course materials you were reviewing.
We also use web beacons (sometimes called pixel tags) and local storage. These work alongside cookies to help us understand which pages are most helpful to students and where people might be getting stuck in their learning journey.
Types of Tracking We Use
Not all cookies do the same thing. We've organized them into categories based on what they accomplish.
Essential Cookies
These keep the site functional. Without them, you couldn't log in, navigate between pages properly, or access secure areas. They're the foundation of the site's operation.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices—like language preferences or whether you've completed certain tutorials. They make your experience more personalized without tracking you across the web.
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand how students use our platform. Which tutorials get the most attention? Where do people spend extra time? This helps us improve our educational content.
Performance Cookies
These monitor site speed and technical performance. If a video is loading slowly or a code example isn't displaying correctly, these cookies help us identify and fix the issue.
How Tracking Improves Your Experience
Here's what this actually means for you as a student exploring computer vision programming:
- When you return to the site, you'll see where you left off in your learning modules instead of starting from scratch
- Your code editor preferences stay consistent—whether you prefer dark theme or specific syntax highlighting
- We can recommend relevant tutorials based on what you've previously studied
- Video playback quality adjusts automatically based on your connection speed
- Forms remember your input (except sensitive data like passwords) so you don't have to retype everything
- We can identify which examples are most helpful and create more content like that
Without this data, we'd be teaching in the dark. It's like trying to improve a course without ever talking to students—technically possible, but not particularly effective.
Managing Your Preferences
You have control over cookies. Every modern browser lets you decide which ones you accept and which you don't.
Keep in mind that blocking essential cookies will break some site functionality. You might not be able to access certain learning materials or your progress won't save properly.

Brave Privacy
Most browsers also offer "private" or "incognito" modes that don't save cookies after you close the window. Useful if you're using a shared computer in a lab or library.
Data Retention Periods
Different cookies stick around for different amounts of time. Some disappear when you close your browser, others last longer.
Session Cookies
Deleted when you close your browser—typically used for navigation and security
Persistent Cookies
Stay for up to 12 months—remember your preferences and login status
Analytics Data
Aggregated and stored for 24 months to identify long-term learning patterns
Third-Party Services
We work with a few external services that may set their own cookies. For example, if we embed a YouTube video demonstrating an OpenCV technique, YouTube might place cookies on your device.
We're selective about third parties and only work with services that respect user privacy. But once you interact with embedded content, you're also subject to their policies.
Currently, we use analytics services to understand site usage and content delivery networks to ensure videos and code examples load quickly for students in Taiwan and throughout Asia.
Updates to This Policy
Technology changes. Our educational platform evolves. So this policy might get updated occasionally.
When we make significant changes—like adding new types of tracking or changing retention periods—we'll update the date at the top of this page. For major changes, we'll notify enrolled students directly via email.
We recommend checking back periodically if you're curious about how we handle tracking. Though honestly, most updates will be minor technical adjustments rather than fundamental policy shifts.
