Cookie Policy
Last updated: January 2025
We use tracking technologies on irillventex.pro to help you learn about investment literacy without getting lost in technical jargon. This policy explains what we track, why we track it, and how you can control these preferences.
Look, we're not here to collect data just because everyone else does it. Everything we track serves a purpose — making your educational experience smoother and more relevant to your actual needs.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help us remember who you are when you come back.
They let us recognize you across different pages, remember your preferences, and understand which parts of our educational content actually help people. Without them, you'd need to log in every single time you clicked to a new page. That gets old fast.
Some cookies stick around for years. Others vanish the moment you close your browser. We use both types, depending on what makes sense for the task.
Essential Cookies
What they do: Keep the website working. These handle security, remember your login status, and make sure forms actually submit when you click that button.
Can you turn them off? Not really. Without these, major parts of the site would break. You'd be clicking around in circles trying to access your learning materials.
Functional Cookies
What they do: Remember your choices so you don't have to remake them every visit. Things like which course module you were on, or whether you prefer video lessons over reading materials.
Can you turn them off? Yes, but your experience gets a bit clunkier. You'll lose those convenience features that make navigating easier.
Analytical Cookies
What they do: Tell us which pages get the most attention, where people tend to drop off, and which learning paths work best. This helps us improve our content over time.
Can you turn them off? Absolutely. We'd prefer you didn't because the data helps us create better content, but it's your call.
Marketing Cookies
What they do: Track whether our outreach efforts actually bring people to the right resources. We use this to figure out which educational topics resonate with different audiences.
Can you turn them off? Yes. You might still see general information about our programs, but it won't be tailored to what you've shown interest in before.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Most browsers let you control cookies through their settings. Here's how to find those controls in the most common browsers:
- Chrome Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies
How Long We Keep This Data
Different tracking technologies stay active for different periods. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser — they're temporary helpers that don't stick around.
Persistent cookies hang out longer, sometimes for months or even years. These are the ones that remember your login and preferences so you don't have to start fresh every visit.
Session cookies: Gone when you close the browser
Functional cookies: Typically stored for 6-12 months
Analytical cookies: Usually kept for 12-24 months
Marketing cookies: Can last up to 24 months depending on the campaign
You can delete cookies manually through your browser settings whenever you want. Just know that doing so means we'll treat you like a brand new visitor next time you show up.
Third-Party Tracking
Sometimes we work with external services to handle specific functions — analytics platforms, content delivery networks, that sort of thing. These partners might place their own cookies on your device.
We don't control what they do with their cookies, but we only work with services that align with our privacy standards. If you want details on their specific practices, you'll need to check their individual privacy policies.
Updates to This Policy
As we add new features or adjust how we operate, this policy might change. We'll update the date at the top whenever we make meaningful revisions.
If something major changes — like we start using an entirely new type of tracking — we'll let you know directly rather than just quietly updating this page.
