Cookie Policy
Last Updated: January 2025
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Think of them as sticky notes your browser keeps about your preferences and activity. Some stick around for years, others vanish when you close your browser.
They help us remember your settings, understand which content actually helps people learn about stock market basics, and keep your experience smooth. Without them, you'd need to re-enter information every time you visit.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Cookies
These keep the site functional. They handle basic stuff like security, load balancing, and making sure forms actually submit. You can't really turn these off without breaking things.
Used for: session management, security verification, site functionality
Functional Cookies
Remember your preferences—language settings, display options, which lessons you've completed. They make returning to the site feel more personalized without forcing you to start from scratch each time.
Used for: user preferences, language selection, progress tracking
Analytics Cookies
Help us see which educational content actually resonates with visitors. We track page views, time spent on lessons, and navigation patterns. This tells us what's working and what needs improvement.
Used for: page analytics, user behavior patterns, content effectiveness
Marketing Cookies
Track your journey across the web to show you relevant educational content about investing and stock market basics. These help us reach people who might benefit from our courses.
Used for: advertising campaigns, audience targeting, conversion tracking
How This Benefits Your Experience
The data we gather helps us build better educational content. Here's what we actually do with it:
Managing Your Cookie Settings
You're in control. Every major browser lets you block, delete, or manage cookies. Keep in mind that disabling certain types might affect how the site works—especially the functional ones.
Browser-Specific Instructions
Each browser handles cookies differently. Here's where to find the settings:
Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
View Chrome Cookie SettingsSettings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies
View Edge Cookie SettingsThird-Party Services
We use external tools for analytics and marketing. These companies—like Google Analytics—have their own cookie policies. When you visit ciralent.info, you're potentially interacting with their tracking systems too.
We vet these partners carefully, but you should check their privacy policies if you want the full picture of how your data moves around.
Data Retention
Most cookies expire after 12 months. Some session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Analytics data gets anonymized after 26 months. We don't hold onto information longer than necessary for running our educational platform effectively.
Updates to This Policy
Technology changes, and so do our practices. We'll update this page when we add new tracking tools or change how we use existing ones. The date at the top shows when we last revised it.
Major changes will be announced through our usual channels—email notifications or site banners. Minor clarifications might happen without fanfare.
