Cookie & Data Usage Policy
Understanding how Pephyr collects, uses, and manages tracking technologies to enhance your cybersecurity learning experience
What Are Tracking Technologies
Tracking technologies are small digital tools that help websites function properly and provide personalized experiences. At Pephyr, we use various tracking methods including cookies, web beacons, and local storage to understand how users interact with our cybersecurity platform. These technologies collect information about your browsing patterns, preferences, and engagement with our cloud computing security content. Think of them as digital assistants that remember your preferences – like keeping you logged in or remembering which cybersecurity modules you've completed. We're transparent about this data collection because your privacy matters to us, especially when dealing with sensitive security education content.
How We Use Tracking Data
Our tracking technologies serve several important purposes on sharedfuturelab.sbs. We analyze user behavior to improve our cybersecurity curriculum and identify which cloud computing topics need more comprehensive coverage. The data helps us understand peak learning times, allowing us to schedule live sessions and webinars when our Indian audience is most active. We also track completion rates for different security modules to refine our educational approach. This information guides our content development – for instance, if we notice users struggling with a particular AWS security concept, we'll create additional resources or adjust our teaching methodology.

Types of Tracking We Employ
Session Cookies: These temporary files disappear when you close your browser. They're essential for maintaining your login status while navigating between different cybersecurity modules on Pephyr. Without these, you'd need to re-authenticate every time you move from our cloud security section to network protection courses.
Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for predetermined periods, remembering your preferences across multiple visits. They store information like your preferred learning pace, completed certifications, and customized dashboard layout. These cookies expire after specific timeframes, typically ranging from 30 days to two years depending on their function.
Third-Party Analytics: We integrate with external services to gain deeper insights into user behavior and platform performance. These tools help us understand traffic patterns, geographic distribution of our learners (particularly important for our India-focused content), and technical performance metrics across different devices and browsers commonly used in the Indian market.
Managing Your Privacy Settings
You have complete control over tracking technologies on Pephyr. Most modern browsers allow you to customize cookie settings, block specific tracking methods, or clear stored data entirely. However, disabling certain tracking technologies might affect your experience – you might lose your course progress, need to re-enter preferences frequently, or miss personalized cybersecurity content recommendations.
For mobile users accessing Pephyr through smartphones and tablets – common among our Indian cybersecurity community – similar privacy controls are available through your device's browser settings or app permissions.
Data Retention and Storage
We retain tracking data for varying periods based on its purpose and legal requirements. Essential functional data remains active during your session or account lifecycle. Analytics information is typically stored for 12-24 months to identify long-term trends in cybersecurity education preferences and platform usage patterns. Marketing-related tracking data has shorter retention periods, usually 90-180 days, sufficient for campaign optimization and user journey analysis. We regularly review and purge outdated tracking information, maintaining only what's necessary for platform improvement and user experience enhancement. All stored data follows industry-standard security protocols, particularly important given our focus on cybersecurity education and our users' heightened awareness of data protection practices.
This Cookie Policy was last updated in January 2025 and reflects current tracking practices on sharedfuturelab.sbs. We review and update this policy regularly to ensure accuracy and compliance with evolving privacy regulations.
