Cookie Policy
Last Updated: February 15, 2025
We use tracking technologies on cynoptex.info to improve your experience and help us understand how our financial education platform serves you better. This policy explains what these technologies do and how you can control them.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. They help sites remember your preferences and recognize you when you return. Think of them as digital bookmarks that make your browsing smoother.
We also use similar technologies like web beacons and local storage. These work alongside cookies to provide you with personalized content about market volatility and financial education resources.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Cookies
These keep our platform running properly. They handle things like security, form submissions, and basic navigation. Without them, parts of cynoptex.info wouldn't function correctly. You can't opt out of these because they're necessary for the site to work.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices and settings. They store things like your language preference or which educational modules you've already reviewed. This saves you from having to reconfigure everything each time you visit.
Analytical Cookies
We use these to see how people interact with our content. They tell us which articles about market volatility get the most engagement and where visitors might be getting stuck. The data helps us make the platform more useful for everyone studying financial markets.
Marketing Cookies
These track your journey across our site and sometimes across other websites. They help us show you relevant content about upcoming webinars or new educational resources based on what you've shown interest in previously.
How We Use This Information
- Remember whether you're logged into your Cynoptex account
- Keep track of which educational modules you've completed
- Show you content relevant to your learning progress in market volatility topics
- Analyze which resources Canadian investors find most helpful
- Improve our platform based on how people actually use it
- Send you updates about courses or webinars that match your interests
- Protect against fraudulent activity and unauthorized access
- Test new features before rolling them out to everyone
For example, if you spend time reading about options trading strategies, we might suggest related articles on risk management. Or if you're frequently checking market analysis tools, we'll make sure those sections are easy to access when you return.
Taking Control of Your Cookies
You have several options for managing how cookies work on your device. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings menus.
Here's where to find those controls in popular browsers:
Keep in mind that blocking all cookies might affect how cynoptex.info works for you. Some features like saved preferences or progress tracking won't function properly without them.
Third-Party Services
We work with a few external services that also use cookies on our site. These include analytics platforms that help us understand site traffic and content delivery networks that make pages load faster.
These partners have their own privacy policies governing how they collect and use data. We carefully select services that respect user privacy, but we recommend reviewing their policies if you want more details about their practices.
How Long Do Cookies Stay Active?
Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. They're temporary and just help you navigate during a single visit.
Persistent cookies stick around longer – some for a few days, others for months or even years. These are the ones that remember your preferences between visits. You can see and delete these individually through your browser settings.
Different cookies serve different purposes, so their lifespans vary. Login cookies might last a few weeks, while analytics cookies could remain active for up to two years to help us spot long-term trends.
Mobile Apps and Other Platforms
If you access Cynoptex through our mobile app or other platforms, we use similar tracking technologies. Mobile identifiers work like cookies but are built into your device's operating system.
You can usually adjust these settings through your phone's privacy controls. iOS users can limit ad tracking through Settings, and Android users have similar options in their Google account settings.
Changes to This Policy
We update this policy occasionally as our platform evolves or regulations change. When we make significant changes, we'll post a notice on the site and update the date at the top of this page.
We encourage you to check back periodically, especially if you're concerned about how your information is used. Major updates will be clearly communicated through our newsletter and on the homepage.
Questions About Cookies?
We're happy to explain our tracking practices in more detail or help you adjust your preferences. Reach out anytime.
Your Rights: Depending on where you live, you may have specific rights regarding how we collect and use your data through cookies. Canadian residents can request information about what data we've collected and ask us to delete it. Contact us using the details above to exercise these rights.
