What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit websites. They help us remember your preferences, understand how you use our site, and improve your overall experience with gronathilques's financial education platform.

We also use web beacons, pixels, and similar technologies that work alongside cookies to collect information about your interactions with our content. These tools are industry-standard methods for website analytics and user experience optimization.

Think of cookies as a way for our website to recognize you when you return – like a friendly receptionist who remembers your name and preferences. However, unlike human memory, you have complete control over what our system remembers about you.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies We Cannot Disable

Session management cookies that keep you logged into your account securely
Security cookies that protect against fraud and unauthorized access attempts
Load balancing cookies that ensure optimal website performance across our servers
CSRF protection tokens that safeguard form submissions and user actions
Accessibility preference cookies that maintain your chosen display and navigation settings

These essential cookies contain no personally identifiable information and expire automatically when you close your browser or after a predetermined security timeout period.

How We Use Cookie Data

Information collected through cookies helps us provide better educational experiences. For example, analytics data shows us which course materials students find most engaging, allowing us to develop more effective learning resources.

We also use this data to personalize content recommendations. If you frequently access information about investment fundamentals, we might highlight advanced investment courses that build on those concepts.

Marketing cookies help us avoid showing you information about programs you've already completed or topics that don't match your learning goals. This creates a more relevant browsing experience focused on your educational journey.
