Cookie Usage Policy

What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. At yorinqualesth, we use various tracking technologies to understand how our Canadian students and international learners interact with our investment theory educational content. These technologies help us improve course delivery and personalize your learning experience.

Beyond traditional cookies, we also employ web beacons, pixel tags, and similar technologies that collect information about your browsing patterns. This data helps us understand which educational resources are most valuable to our community and how we can better serve aspiring investment professionals.

Types of Tracking We Use

• Essential Functionality Cookies
  These cookies are necessary for basic website functionality including user authentication, course progress tracking, and maintaining your session while navigating between lessons. Without these, you wouldn't be able to access your enrolled courses or save your learning progress.
• Educational Analytics Cookies
  We track which course modules are most engaging, how long students spend on different topics, and where learners might be struggling. This helps us refine our investment theory curriculum and identify areas where additional support materials might be beneficial.
• Performance Optimization Cookies
  These cookies monitor website performance, loading times, and technical issues. For our Canadian users dealing with varying internet speeds across different provinces, this data is particularly valuable for ensuring consistent access to our educational platform.
• Marketing and Outreach Cookies
  We use these to understand how potential students discover our programs and which educational content resonates most with different audiences. This includes tracking referrals from financial education websites, professional networks, and educational partnerships.

How Tracking Enhances Your Experience

When you're working through our investment theory courses, cookies help us remember your preferred study pace and learning style. If you typically prefer video content over text-based materials, or if you work better with shorter study sessions, our platform adapts to these preferences automatically.

For students progressing through our comprehensive investment programs, tracking allows us to suggest relevant supplementary materials based on your current focus areas. Someone studying portfolio theory might receive recommendations for related case studies or current market analysis that complements their coursework.

Data Retention and Storage

We retain cookie data for varying periods depending on its purpose. Essential cookies remain active only during your session, while analytics data may be stored for up to two years to identify long-term educational trends and course effectiveness. Marketing cookies typically expire after 30 days, though some preference settings may persist longer to maintain your customized experience.

All data is stored securely using industry-standard encryption methods. As a Canadian educational institution, we adhere to relevant privacy legislation including PIPEDA requirements for handling personal information of our students and prospective learners.

Keep in mind that blocking all cookies may affect your ability to access certain features of our learning platform. Course progress tracking, personalized recommendations, and some interactive elements require cookies to function properly.

Third-Party Educational Partners

Some of our courses include content and resources from educational partners and industry professionals. These may place their own cookies when you interact with embedded materials, case studies, or external research tools. We work only with reputable educational organizations that maintain similar privacy standards to our own.

When you access guest lectures, industry webinars, or participate in collaborative learning exercises, additional tracking may occur through these third-party platforms. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these educational partners, particularly if you're accessing specialized investment research tools or financial data platforms as part of your coursework.

Updates and Changes

As our educational platform evolves and we introduce new learning technologies, our cookie usage may change. We'll notify enrolled students of significant updates through email announcements and platform notifications. Changes to this policy will be posted prominently on our website with the updated effective date clearly marked.

We regularly review our data collection practices to ensure they align with evolving privacy standards and educational best practices. Student feedback about privacy concerns and cookie preferences helps inform these ongoing improvements to our platform.
