What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit websites. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help websites remember your preferences and improve your browsing experience. But cookies aren't the only technology we use to enhance your visit to our investment education platform.

We also employ web beacons, local storage, and analytics pixels. These work together to create a smoother, more personalized experience while helping us understand how people interact with our financial education content.

Types of Tracking We Use

How Tracking Enhances Your Experience

Here's exactly how our tracking technologies make your learning experience better:

• Personalized Content: We remember which investment topics you've explored so we can suggest related educational materials that match your learning path.
• Progress Tracking: If you're working through our investment fundamentals course, we save your progress so you can pick up where you left off.
• Site Performance: Analytics help us identify slow-loading pages or confusing navigation so we can fix these issues quickly.
• Relevant Communications: We can tailor our educational newsletters to focus on the investment topics you've shown interest in.

Data Retention and Your Rights

Most cookies expire automatically after 30 days, though essential security cookies may last up to one year. Analytics data is aggregated and anonymized after 90 days. You have complete control over this data.

You can request to see what data we've collected, ask us to delete it, or opt out of non-essential tracking at any time. We'll respond to these requests within 48 hours because your privacy matters to us.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

Third-Party Services

We work with trusted partners to provide analytics and improve our educational content. These include Google Analytics for understanding site usage and educational content platforms that help us deliver investment courses more effectively.

Each partner has their own privacy policies, and we've carefully selected only those that meet our high standards for data protection. We never share personal information without your explicit consent.

Updates to This Policy

We review this policy quarterly and will notify you of any significant changes through email or a prominent notice on our website. Minor updates, like adding new cookie categories or clarifying existing practices, are updated immediately.

The last major update was January 2025, when we simplified our tracking systems and reduced the number of third-party services we use.
