Cookie Policy
Last Updated: February 2025
At Cextarim, we use tracking technologies to improve your learning experience on cextarim.pro. This policy explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
We believe in transparency. You should know what data we collect and why it matters for your educational journey with us.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help our site remember your preferences and activity.
These files store information like your language preference, login status, or which courses you've viewed. Most modern websites use them – they're actually what makes browsing feel personalized rather than starting fresh every time you visit a page.
Some cookies stick around for years. Others disappear the moment you close your browser. The duration depends on what purpose they serve.
Types of Tracking We Use
E Essential Cookies
These keep the site functioning. Without them, you couldn't log into your account or navigate between lessons. They're necessary for basic operations, so they're always active when you use cextarim.pro.
F Functional Cookies
These remember your choices – like whether you prefer dark mode or which investment topics interest you most. They make your experience smoother by keeping track of your preferences across visits.
A Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand how people interact with our content. Which lessons get completed? Where do learners spend the most time? This data helps us create better educational materials. All information is aggregated and anonymous.
M Marketing Cookies
These track your interests to show you relevant course recommendations. If you've been reading about ETFs, we might suggest related resources. They help us avoid showing you information about topics you've already mastered.
How Tracking Improves Your Experience
Here's what these technologies actually do for you:
- Remember where you left off in a course module so you can pick up right where you stopped
- Keep you logged in between sessions instead of asking for credentials every single time
- Track your progress through our investing curriculum to suggest what to learn next
- Load pages faster by storing certain elements locally on your device
- Show you content recommendations based on topics you've engaged with previously
- Help us identify technical issues before they affect your learning experience
Most of this happens in the background. You probably won't notice it working – which is kind of the point.
What We Track
We collect information about pages you visit, how long you spend on lessons, which resources you download, and what devices you use to access our platform. We also track interactions like quiz completions and video watch time.
This helps us understand what's working and what needs improvement. If everyone drops out of a particular lesson halfway through, that tells us something needs fixing.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies come from services we use to operate the site. For example, if we embed a video from another platform or use analytics software, those companies might place their own tracking files.
We're selective about which third parties we work with. Each one serves a specific purpose related to education delivery or site functionality. You can typically find their privacy policies on their respective websites.
We don't have direct control over these third-party cookies, but we do choose our partners carefully based on their data practices.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have several options for controlling tracking on cextarim.pro:
Browser Settings
Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies. The exact steps vary, but you'll usually find these options in your browser's privacy or settings menu.
Keep in mind that blocking essential cookies will affect site functionality. You might not be able to log in or access certain features if you disable everything.
Data Retention
Different types of data stick around for different lengths of time. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Preference cookies might last for a year or two. Analytics data gets aggregated and anonymized after several months.
We keep information only as long as it's useful for improving your experience or as required by Canadian data protection regulations. Once data serves no purpose, we delete it.
You can request deletion of your personal data at any time by contacting us directly. We'll process these requests according to applicable privacy laws.
Your Rights
Under Canadian privacy legislation, you have the right to know what data we collect, request copies of your information, ask us to correct inaccuracies, and request deletion of your data in certain circumstances.
You can also object to certain types of processing or request that we limit how we use your information. These rights aren't absolute – sometimes legal requirements mean we need to keep certain records – but we'll always explain our reasoning if we can't fulfill a request.
Updates to This Policy
We update this policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. When we make significant changes, we'll notify active users through email or an announcement on the platform.
The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page tells you when we most recently revised the policy. We recommend checking back periodically, especially if you have concerns about data usage.
Questions About Our Cookie Use?
If something in this policy isn't clear or you have specific questions about how we use tracking technologies, we're happy to explain in more detail.
