Cookie Policy
Last Updated: February 2025
We're straightforward about how we collect information when you visit candletech.vip. This policy explains what tracking technologies we use and why they matter for your experience with our investment education platform.
What Are Tracking Technologies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you browse our website. Think of them as digital notepads that remember specific details about your visit. They help us recognize you when you return and keep track of your preferences.
Beyond cookies, we also use similar technologies like web beacons and local storage. These tools work quietly in the background to make your browsing smoother and more personalized.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Cookies
These are the ones we can't really operate without. They handle basic functions like keeping you logged in as you move between pages and remembering items in your learning dashboard. Without these, the site simply wouldn't work properly.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices. Maybe you prefer viewing charts in dark mode or want course materials displayed in a specific format. Functional cookies save these preferences so you don't have to reset them every visit.
Analytical Cookies
We use these to understand how people interact with our educational content. Which investment topics get the most attention? Where do visitors spend their time? This data helps us create better learning materials and improve navigation.
Marketing Cookies
These track your journey across our site to show you relevant information about upcoming programs or resources that match your interests. They help us avoid showing you content about topics you've already explored thoroughly.
How Tracking Enhances Your Experience
Here's what happens behind the scenes when you use our platform:
- Your dashboard displays the investment courses you were last reviewing, saving you time searching
- Resource recommendations align with your learning path and current knowledge level
- Video playback resumes exactly where you left off in educational content
- Form fields remember information you've entered previously during registration
- Security features protect your account from unauthorized access attempts
- Performance monitoring helps us identify and fix technical issues quickly
Most of this happens automatically. You probably won't notice it working, which is the point. Good tracking should be invisible but helpful.
Taking Control of Your Data
You're in charge of what gets tracked. Every major browser gives you tools to manage or block cookies entirely. Keep in mind that blocking essential cookies might break some functionality on our platform.
Browser Management Options
Each browser handles privacy settings differently. Here's where to find cookie controls in popular browsers:
You can delete existing cookies, block future ones, or set exceptions for specific sites. The choice is yours.
How Long We Keep Data
Different cookies have different lifespans. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Others might stick around for months or even years, depending on their purpose.
Essential security cookies typically last 12 months. Preference cookies might persist for 24 months so you don't lose your customizations. Analytics cookies usually expire after 2 years.
You can clear all cookies manually through your browser settings anytime you want a fresh start.
Third-Party Services
Some tracking technologies on our site come from external services we work with. For example, we use analytics platforms to understand traffic patterns and video hosting services that track playback data.
These third parties have their own privacy policies. When you interact with embedded content or external tools on our site, their tracking may apply as well. We're selective about which services we integrate, but it's worth being aware of.
Updates and Changes
We update this policy occasionally as we add new features or change how we handle data. When we make significant changes, we'll post a notice on the site. Checking back here every few months isn't a bad idea if you're particular about privacy.
The date at the top of this page shows when we last revised the policy.
