Cookie Policy
Last updated: January 2025
We use tracking technologies on yreksim.vip to improve your experience and help us understand how people interact with our educational content about investing. This policy explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit. They help websites remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how you navigate through pages. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help us provide a smoother experience.
We also use similar technologies like web beacons and local storage. These work alongside cookies to help us understand things like which articles you find most helpful or where people tend to get stuck in our learning materials.
Types of Tracking We Use
Not all cookies do the same thing. Here's how we categorize the different types we use:
Essential Cookies
These keep the site working properly. They handle basic functions like security, form submissions, and making sure our pages load correctly. Without them, parts of our site simply wouldn't function. You can't disable these while using the site.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices and preferences. For instance, if you've started a course module or saved certain articles to read later, functional cookies help us remember that information so you don't have to start over each time you visit.
Analytical Cookies
We use these to see how people use our educational content. Which topics get the most attention? Where do people spend the most time? This information helps us create better learning materials and fix anything that isn't working well.
Marketing Cookies
These help us show relevant content to people who might benefit from our courses. They track whether you've visited before and help us understand which promotional materials are most effective at reaching the right audience.
How Tracking Improves Your Experience
Practical Benefits
When you're learning about investing concepts, the last thing you want is to lose your progress. Our cookies save your place in course materials, remember which videos you've watched, and keep track of completed modules.
We also use tracking data to spot patterns. If lots of people are leaving a particular page quickly, that tells us something might be confusing or broken. We can then improve that content to make it clearer and more useful.
For example, if we notice that people who complete our introductory module on stock basics tend to skip our bond fundamentals section, we might rethink how we present that material or add more context about why bonds matter in a balanced portfolio.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You're in control of how we use cookies on your device. Most web browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings menu. Here's where to find those controls in common browsers:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Privacy, search, and services → Cookies and site permissions
Keep in mind that blocking all cookies will affect how our site works. You might lose access to personalized features, and you'll need to log in every time you visit. But that choice is yours to make.
Data Retention and Storage
Different cookies stay on your device for different lengths of time. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Others might stick around for months or even years, depending on what they're designed to do.
We regularly review the cookies we use and remove any that aren't serving a clear purpose. Our analytical data gets aggregated and anonymized after a set period, typically within two years, so we're not holding onto individual browsing patterns indefinitely.
Your cookie preferences are stored locally on your device. If you clear your browser data or switch devices, you'll need to set your preferences again.
Third-Party Services
Some cookies on our site come from external services we use to make yreksim.vip work better. For instance, we use analytics tools to understand site traffic and video hosting platforms for our educational content.
These third parties have their own privacy policies that govern how they handle data. We try to work only with services that respect user privacy, but we can't control their practices directly. When you use our site, you might be agreeing to their terms as well as ours.
Updates to This Policy
We update this policy occasionally as our site evolves or when regulations change. When we make significant changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page. If you're a regular visitor, it's worth checking back now and then to see if anything has changed.
We won't fundamentally change how we handle your data without making sure you know about it. Any major shifts in our approach would come with clear notice on our homepage.
Questions or Concerns
If something in this policy doesn't make sense or if you have specific questions about how we use cookies, get in touch. We're happy to explain things in more detail.
