Cookie Policy
Last Updated: February 2025
We use tracking technologies on becoraiqora.com to help you navigate efficiently and perform certain functions. You'll find detailed information about all tracking methods we use below, along with how to manage your preferences.
What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. They're basically how websites remember you between visits. Think of them like a name tag at a conference – they help the website recognize who you are and what you prefer.
Beyond cookies, we also use similar technologies like web beacons, pixels, and local storage. These work together to help us understand how people use our financial education platform and how we can make it better.
Types of Tracking We Use
Not all tracking serves the same purpose. Here's what we use and why:
Essential Cookies
These keep the site running properly. They handle things like security, load balancing, and remembering your login status. Without these, you wouldn't be able to access course materials or navigate between sections smoothly. You can't turn these off because they're necessary for basic site operation.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices – like text size preferences, whether you prefer dark mode, or which course modules you've already completed. They make your experience more personalized and save you from setting the same preferences every time you visit.
Analytical Cookies
We use these to understand which course materials get the most attention, where students get stuck, and what resources are most helpful. This information helps us improve our content and teaching approach. The data is aggregated, so we're looking at patterns rather than tracking individuals.
Marketing Cookies
These track your journey across our site to help us understand which courses interest you most. If you've looked at our fundamental analysis courses several times, we might show you related content that could be useful. We don't share this information with third parties for their own marketing.
How Tracking Enhances Your Experience
Here's what these technologies actually do for you:
- Remember where you left off in course materials so you can pick up right where you stopped
- Keep you logged in so you don't have to re-enter credentials every time
- Store your progress through lessons and assignments
- Suggest relevant resources based on topics you've shown interest in
- Help us spot technical issues before they affect your learning
- Identify which teaching methods work best so we can refine our approach
- Remember your preferred layout and accessibility settings
What We Track on becoraiqora
Let me be specific about the information we collect through these technologies:
We track pages you visit, how long you spend on different sections, which course materials you download, and what times you're most active on the platform. We see which devices and browsers you use, your general location (country level, not your exact address), and how you found our site.
For students enrolled in courses, we track completion rates, quiz scores, and participation in discussions. This helps both you and your instructors understand your progress and identify areas where you might need extra support.
Data Retention Periods
Session Cookies: These expire when you close your browser. They're temporary and only exist during your current visit.
Persistent Cookies: These stick around longer – typically between 30 days and 2 years depending on their purpose. Preference cookies last longer because you don't want to reset your choices constantly. Analytics cookies refresh periodically to keep data current.
Course Progress Data: We keep this indefinitely for enrolled students so you never lose your place or achievements. If you want this removed, just contact us directly.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have control over non-essential cookies. Your browser lets you block or delete cookies, though this might affect how well the site works for you.
Browser-Specific Instructions
Each browser handles cookies differently. Here's where to find the settings in popular browsers:
Keep in mind that blocking all cookies means you'll lose functionality like staying logged in, saving course progress, and personalized recommendations. Essential cookies will still work to keep the site secure and functional.
Third-Party Cookies
We use a few trusted third-party services that set their own cookies. This includes our analytics provider (to understand site usage), our video hosting platform (for course content delivery), and our payment processor (for secure transactions).
These services have their own privacy policies, and we've vetted them to ensure they meet our standards for data protection. They only receive information necessary to provide their specific service.
Updates to This Policy
We review this policy regularly and update it when we change how we use tracking technologies. The "Last Updated" date at the top tells you when we made the most recent changes. Major updates will be announced through email to enrolled students.
