Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies Anyway?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. Think of them as digital breadcrumbs that help websites remember your preferences and activity. They can't access other files on your computer or spread viruses—they're just simple data packets.

We use cookies alongside similar technologies like web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage. Each serves a specific purpose in making your experience on our site smoother and more personalized. Some remember your login status, others help us understand which content resonates with visitors.

Types of Tracking We Use

Essential Cookies

These are the non-negotiables. Without them, basic site functions simply wouldn't work. They handle security, load balancing, and session management. When you log into your Qymtron account, essential cookies keep you logged in as you navigate between pages. They don't track your browsing habits—they just make the site functional.

Functional Cookies

These remember your choices and preferences. Language settings, dashboard layouts, notification preferences—functional cookies save these details so you don't have to reset everything each visit. They make your experience feel tailored rather than generic.

Analytical Cookies

We use these to understand how people interact with our site. Which pages get the most attention? Where do visitors tend to drop off? This information helps us improve content and fix navigation issues. The data is aggregated and anonymized—we're looking at patterns, not tracking individuals.

Marketing Cookies

These track your activity across sites to deliver relevant content and advertisements. If you've been reading about emotional investing strategies on our blog, marketing cookies might show you related webinar announcements elsewhere online. You can decline these without affecting core site functionality.

Specific Cookies on Qymtron.com

Here's a breakdown of the main cookies you'll encounter on our site:

Third-Party Services

We work with trusted partners who help us deliver and improve our services. These include analytics providers, content delivery networks, and educational platform integrations. Each may set their own cookies according to their privacy policies.

For example, if we embed a video from an external platform in our educational content, that platform may place cookies to track viewing metrics. We carefully vet all third-party services to ensure they meet our standards for data protection and transparency.

Managing Your Cookie Settings

You have control over which cookies you accept. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings menu. Here's how this works in practice:

• Browser Settings: Access privacy or security settings in your browser to view, manage, or delete cookies. Each browser handles this differently, but you'll typically find options under "Privacy" or "Security."
• Selective Blocking: Most modern browsers allow you to block third-party cookies while accepting first-party ones. This gives you core functionality while limiting external tracking.
• Private Browsing: Incognito or private browsing modes don't save cookies after you close the window. Useful for one-time visits or shared devices.
• Cookie Preferences: When you first visit Qymtron, you'll see a banner allowing you to customize which categories of cookies you accept. You can always change these preferences later.

Keep in mind that blocking all cookies will limit site functionality. You might need to log in repeatedly, reset preferences, or miss personalized content recommendations. Essential cookies are necessary for basic operations and can't be disabled if you want to use the site normally.

Data Retention and Your Rights

We don't keep cookie data indefinitely. Most information collected through cookies expires automatically based on the durations listed above. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for the specified period unless you delete them manually.

You have the right to access any personal information we've collected through cookies, request its deletion, or ask us to stop processing it for marketing purposes. These rights apply regardless of where you're located, though specific regulations may vary by jurisdiction.

If you want to exercise any of these rights or have questions about our cookie practices, contact our data protection team. We'll respond within a reasonable timeframe—typically within 30 days for standard requests.

Updates to This Policy

We review and update this policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. When we make significant changes, we'll notify you through a banner on the site or via email if you have an account with us.

The "Last updated" date at the top of this page shows when we last revised the policy. We recommend checking back occasionally, especially if you're concerned about privacy or data collection practices.
