This Cookie Policy explains how Data Eminence ("we," "our," or "us") uses cookies, pixel tags, and local storage technologies when you access our training workspaces and diagnostic portals.
This policy outlines our use of these tracking mechanisms, how they enhance your platform experience, and how you can manage your cookies settings through our user preferences panel or your local web browser.
What Are Cookies & Pixel Tags?
Cookies are small data files stored on your hard drive or in device memory that help us improve our services and your overall contributor experience. Cookies allow us to see which areas and features of our platform are popular, count visits, remember language settings, and secure session credentials.
Pixel Tags(also known as "web beacons" or "clear GIFs") are electronic images that we use on our services and in our emails. They help us deliver cookies, count visits, understand system usage, and verify email engagement rates.
How Long Are Cookies Stored?
We utilize both Session Cookies and Persistent Cookies on our platform:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookie files that are erased as soon as you close your web browser. We use these to maintain your verified session token while you navigate between distinct task workspaces.
- Persistent Cookies: These files remain in your browser subfolders until they expire or until you manually clear them. We use persistent cookies to remember your device preferences, dark/light theme choices, and to prevent showing onboarding tutorials multiple times.
What Cookies Do We Use & Why?

How Do I Control Cookies?
You have multiple methods available to manage, reject, or configure cookies settings:
Workspace Preferences Panel
You can adjust your granular cookie preferences directly inside your Account Settings page once authenticated. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled since they secure and validate your logged-in session.
Managing Through Browser Settings
Most modern web browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge) allow you to configure cookie security settings, block third-party tracking, or automatically purge cookies when closing your session. Visit your browser's "Privacy & Security" panel to make these adjustments.
