Cookie Policy
Last Updated: January 15, 2025
This policy explains how Pratsym uses tracking technologies on our website. We want you to understand what data we collect and why we collect it. Your privacy matters, and we're committed to being transparent about our practices.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. They help websites remember your preferences and track how you interact with content. Most modern websites use them because they make browsing smoother and more personalized.
When you visit pratsym.pro, we use several types of tracking technologies. Some are essential for the site to work properly. Others help us understand what content resonates with our audience so we can create better educational materials about investment analysis.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Cookies
These keep the website functioning. They remember your session as you navigate between pages and maintain your settings. Without them, you'd have to re-enter information constantly, which would make using our site pretty frustrating.
Example: When you log into your account, essential cookies remember you're logged in so you don't have to sign in again on every page.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices and preferences. If you've selected a specific learning track or saved course materials, functional cookies help us remember those selections for your next visit.
Example: Your preferred language settings, saved filters on course listings, or bookmarked lesson modules stay intact between sessions.
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand how visitors interact with our educational content. They tell us which lessons are most helpful, where people spend time, and what topics generate the most interest. This data helps us improve our curriculum and create content that actually addresses what learners need.
Example: We might notice that many students revisit our module on portfolio diversification, which tells us this topic needs more detailed explanation or supplementary materials.
Marketing Cookies
These track your activity across different websites to show you relevant information about our courses. They help us understand which marketing messages resonate with different audiences so we can communicate more effectively about our programs.
Example: If you've looked at our investment fundamentals course, you might see information about related programs that build on those concepts.
How We Use Your Data
The information we gather through cookies serves specific purposes. We don't collect data just for the sake of it. Every piece of information helps us deliver a better educational experience.
- Improve Course Content: When we see which lessons people revisit or where they spend extra time, we know which concepts need clearer explanation or additional resources.
- Personalize Learning Paths: Your browsing behavior helps us suggest relevant courses and materials that align with your interests in investment analysis.
- Enhance Site Performance: We track technical issues and page load times to ensure our platform runs smoothly across different devices and browsers.
- Understand User Needs: Aggregate data shows us what topics Canadian learners are most interested in, helping us develop new programs that serve the market.
- Communicate Effectively: We learn which types of announcements and course updates are most valuable so we can reduce unnecessary messages.
Data Retention Periods
Different cookies stay on your device for different lengths of time. Some disappear when you close your browser. Others stick around longer to remember your preferences between visits.
| Cookie Type | Retention Period | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Session Cookies | Until browser closes | Maintain your active session while browsing |
| Preference Cookies | 1 year | Remember your settings and choices |

If you block essential cookies, some features won't work. You won't be able to log in or save your progress through our courses. Functional and analytics cookies are optional, but they help us create a better experience tailored to your learning needs.
Third-Party Services
Some cookies on our site come from third-party services we use for analytics and marketing. These organizations have their own privacy policies that govern how they handle data. We work with reputable providers who respect user privacy, but you should be aware that when you interact with our site, some information goes to these partners.
We review our third-party relationships regularly to ensure they align with our commitment to protecting your information. If a service doesn't meet our standards, we stop using it.
Updates to This Policy
We update this policy occasionally as our practices evolve or regulations change. When we make significant changes, we'll notify you through our website or by email if you have an account with us.
The date at the top of this page shows when we last revised the policy. We encourage you to review it periodically, especially if you have concerns about how websites handle your information.
Your Rights
Canadian privacy laws give you specific rights regarding your personal data. You can request to see what information we've collected about you. You can ask us to delete your data or correct inaccuracies. And you can withdraw consent for non-essential tracking at any time.
These rights are meaningful, and we take them seriously. If you want to exercise any of these rights, reach out to us using the contact information below. We'll respond within a reasonable timeframe and help you understand what options are available.
