COOKIES & TRACKING
This page explains the storage and tracking technologies used by the Pro Vision Multimedia Enterprises Training Division platform. We keep it short and plain because we do not use advertising trackers, and there is no third-party ad network on this Service.
1. Summary
- We do not use third-party advertising cookies.
- We do not sell or share your data for cross-context behavioral advertising.
- We use only the storage listed below, and only for the purposes stated.
2. What We Store on Your Device
| Technology | Key / Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Session Storage | pvme_photographer |
Keeps you signed in while your browser tab is open. Cleared automatically when you close the tab. | Until tab close |
| Session Storage | pvme_after_login, pvme_admin_ok, pvme_admin_passcode |
Preserves your intended destination during login redirects and keeps admin/instructor consoles unlocked for the current session. | Until tab close |
| Local Storage | pvme_install_dismissed |
Remembers that you dismissed the "Install this app" prompt so we don't show it again. | Until you clear browser data |
| Local Storage | pvme_installed |
Remembers that you have installed the app so we suppress the install prompt. | Until you clear browser data |
| Local Storage | pvme_foundation_bonus_expires |
Tracks whether a 24-hour promotional bonus banner should be shown on your dashboard after passing the Camera Foundations course. | Up to 24 hours after your first pass |
| IndexedDB | Database: pvme-training |
Caches lessons you have opened so you can read them offline. Queues any progress updates you make while offline and synchronizes them when you reconnect. Content is stored on your device only. | Until you clear browser data or uninstall the app |
| Service Worker Cache | Named pvme-v3-shell and pvme-v3-runtime |
Caches the app's static files (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, icons) so the app loads instantly and works offline. | Until a newer version of the app is deployed or you clear browser data |
3. Third-Party Storage
Payment pages, when active, are served or embedded from Stripe, Inc. Stripe sets its own cookies on those pages for fraud prevention and session management, as described in Stripe's cookie policy.
Our platform is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare may set an essential cookie (__cf_bm) on the domain for bot protection. It does not track you across sites.
We do not use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, or any other cross-site advertising or analytics trackers.
4. How to Control Storage
You can clear any of the above storage at any time using your browser's normal controls:
- Chrome / Edge: Settings → Privacy and security → Clear browsing data
- Safari (Mac): Safari menu → Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Safari (iOS): Settings → Safari → Advanced → Website Data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
You can also uninstall the app (if installed) to remove all storage associated with it.
Note: clearing storage will sign you out and will delete any lessons cached for offline reading. You will need to reopen those lessons while online to cache them again.
5. Do Not Track
Because we do not track you across sites for advertising purposes, Do Not Track signals do not change our behavior — we don't do that tracking in either case.
6. Changes to This Disclosure
If we start using a new tracking technology or add a new third-party processor, we will update this disclosure and, where required by law, ask for your consent before enabling it.
