Cookie Policy
Last Updated: March 2025
At Dontarix, we believe in keeping things straightforward when it comes to how we track and store information on your device. This policy explains what tracking technologies we use on dontarix.pro, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences. We're not fans of complicated legal jargon, so we've tried to keep this as readable as possible.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your computer or mobile device when you visit them. They're pretty standard across the web and help sites remember things about you – like your language preference or whether you're logged in.
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and local storage) to make your experience on our investment theory education platform smoother and more personalized. Some of these technologies are essential for the site to work properly, while others help us understand how people use our content.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Cookies
These are the ones we absolutely need to make the site work. Without them, you wouldn't be able to navigate between pages, access secure areas, or use basic features.
- Session management for logged-in users
- Security tokens that protect your data
- Load balancing to keep the site running smoothly
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices and preferences – things like which learning modules you've completed or your preferred text size. They make your return visits more convenient.
- Language and region preferences
- Progress tracking through educational content
- Display settings and accessibility options
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand how visitors interact with our content. Which articles are most helpful? Where do people spend their time? This information helps us improve our educational materials.
- Page view statistics and visit duration
- Content engagement metrics
- Navigation patterns through learning paths
Marketing Cookies
These track your browsing habits to show you relevant information about our programmes. We don't sell your data to third parties, but we do use it to understand which of our educational offerings might interest you.
- Programme recommendation tracking
- Email campaign effectiveness measurement
- Cross-device recognition for consistent experience
How Long Do We Keep This Data?
Different cookies stick around for different lengths of time. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser – they're temporary by nature. Persistent cookies can last anywhere from a few days to several years, depending on what they're used for.
| Cookie Type | Typical Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Session | Until browser closes | Temporary navigation and security |
| Functional | 30 days to 1 year | Remember your preferences |
| Analytics | 2 years | Long-term usage patterns |
| Marketing | 90 days to 2 years | Track campaign effectiveness |
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You're in control here. Most browsers let you manage cookies through their settings. You can block all cookies, accept only certain types, or delete existing ones. Just keep in mind that blocking essential cookies will affect how the site works.
- Chrome Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies
- Firefox Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies
- Safari Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge Settings → Cookies and site permissions
Worth noting: If you access our site from multiple devices or browsers, you'll need to set your cookie preferences separately for each one. Your preferences don't automatically transfer across devices.
Third-Party Technologies
Some of the tracking technologies on our site come from external services we use – things like analytics platforms or content delivery networks. These third parties have their own privacy policies that govern how they handle data. We only work with providers who meet reasonable data protection standards.
When you use our site, you might also encounter cookies from embedded content – like video players or social media widgets. We try to minimize these where possible, but sometimes they're necessary for functionality.
Updates to This Policy
We review and update this policy regularly, especially when we change how we use tracking technologies or add new features to the site. When we make significant changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you through the site or via email.
We recommend checking back periodically, particularly if you're concerned about how we handle tracking data. The web changes fast, and so do the technologies we use.
