Cookie Usage Policy

What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device when you visit them. They're like digital bookmarks that help websites remember information about your visit. At DigitalNextFirst, we use various tracking technologies beyond just cookies – including web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage – to enhance your learning experience.

Think of cookies as helpful assistants that remember your preferences. When you return to our video production learning platform, they help us recognize whether you prefer subtitles on your tutorial videos or if you've bookmarked specific lessons about camera techniques.

Types of Tracking We Use

How Tracking Enhances Your Experience

Our tracking technologies work behind the scenes to personalize your learning journey. When you're halfway through a tutorial on color grading, our system remembers exactly where you left off. If you frequently access lessons about drone cinematography, we might suggest related content about aerial photography regulations or advanced flight techniques.

For our Malaysian students, tracking helps us understand local preferences – like whether there's higher interest in mobile filmmaking versus traditional camera work, or if certain editing software tutorials perform better in different regions of Sarawak and beyond.

Managing Your Tracking Preferences

You can control tracking technologies through several methods. The simplest approach is clicking the "Decline All Non-Essential Cookies" button at the top of this page. This immediately removes all tracking except what's absolutely necessary for the website to function.

Browser-Level Management

Every modern browser provides built-in tools for managing cookies and tracking. In Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge, you can access privacy settings to block third-party cookies, clear existing ones, or set up automatic deletion when you close your browser. These settings give you granular control over which sites can track your activity.

Mobile Device Controls

If you access DigitalNextFirst through mobile browsers or apps, both iOS and Android provide system-level tracking controls. You can disable cross-app tracking, limit ad personalization, or reset your advertising identifier to start fresh with tracking preferences.

Third-Party Tracking Services

We work with several external services that may place their own tracking technologies on your device. These include analytics providers who help us understand course effectiveness, payment processors for secure transactions, and content delivery networks that ensure smooth video playback across Malaysia's internet infrastructure.

Each third-party service operates under its own privacy policy. While we carefully select partners who maintain high privacy standards, we recommend reviewing their individual policies if you want detailed information about their tracking practices.

Legal Basis and Compliance

Our use of tracking technologies complies with applicable privacy laws, including Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010. For essential cookies, our legal basis is legitimate interest in providing basic website functionality. For optional tracking, we rely on your consent, which you can withdraw at any time using the controls provided on this page or in your browser settings.

We maintain detailed records of consent and tracking activities to ensure transparency and accountability. This documentation helps us respond promptly to any questions or requests you might have about your data.
