Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit our website. They're pretty standard across the internet—most sites use them. These files help our website remember information about your visit, which can make your next visit smoother and the site more useful to you.

Think of cookies as little notes the website leaves for itself. When you come back, the site reads these notes and remembers things like your language preference or whether you've already dismissed a notification banner.

Different cookies serve different purposes. Some are essential for basic functions, while others help us understand how people use our site or remember your personal preferences.

Types of Cookies We Use

We use several categories of cookies on qyoaryvoux.info. Each serves a specific purpose in making your experience better or helping us improve our services.

How We Use Cookies

On qyoaryvoux.info, cookies help us deliver better investment education and services. Here's what happens behind the scenes:

Website Functionality

Some cookies keep the site running smoothly. They manage your session, remember your login status, and ensure security features work correctly. When you navigate through our learning materials, these cookies keep track of your progress so you don't lose your place.

Performance Monitoring

We track which pages load quickly and which might need improvement. If a particular page causes problems for multiple users, we'll know about it and can fix it. This data helps us prioritize what needs attention first.

Content Personalization

Based on the courses you've viewed or topics you've explored, we might suggest related educational content. This isn't invasive tracking—it's more like a librarian recommending books based on what section you're browsing.

Communication Preferences

If you've signed up for our learning program or newsletter, cookies help us remember your communication preferences. We won't show you signup prompts repeatedly if you've already registered.

Third-Party Cookies

Sometimes cookies come from services we use rather than directly from us. For example, if we embed a video from an educational platform, that platform might set its own cookies. We choose our third-party partners carefully, but their cookies are governed by their own privacy policies.

Analytics providers like Google Analytics help us understand visitor patterns. Email service providers track whether you've opened our newsletters. These tools are standard in the industry and help us serve you better, but you should know they're collecting data through our site.

How Long Cookies Last

Some cookies disappear when you close your browser—these are called session cookies. Others stick around for weeks, months, or even longer. These persistent cookies remember you when you return to the site.

We set retention periods based on what makes sense for each cookie's purpose. A cookie that remembers your language preference might last a year. A cookie that manages your login session expires when you close your browser. Marketing cookies typically last 90 days, though some may be shorter or longer.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have control over cookies. All modern browsers let you manage them, though the exact steps vary depending on which browser you use.

Keep in mind that blocking all cookies will limit what you can do on most websites. On qyoaryvoux.info, certain features won't work if you block essential cookies. You'll need to weigh privacy preferences against functionality.

Your Rights and Choices

Under Irish and EU data protection law, you have specific rights regarding cookies and tracking:

• You can refuse or withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any time
• You have the right to know what data we collect through cookies
• You can request deletion of data collected through cookies, subject to legal requirements
• You can object to processing of your data for marketing purposes

If you have questions about your rights or how we handle your data, get in touch with us. We're here to help and take these matters seriously.

Changes to This Policy

We update this policy occasionally to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or how we operate. When we make significant changes, we'll update the date at the top and may notify you through the website or email.

It's worth checking back here now and then, especially if you're concerned about privacy. We always try to be clear about what we're doing and why.
