What Are Cookies and How We Use Them

Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device when you visit them. At Passageovaex Academy, we use cookies and similar tracking technologies to make your learning experience smoother and more personalized. Think of cookies as helpful assistants that remember your preferences and help our website work better for you.

When you visit passageovaexacademy.com, these technologies help us remember things like your login status, course progress, language preferences, and how you like to navigate through our financial education content. We also use them to understand which parts of our investing guides are most helpful to our students.

We're transparent about this because your trust matters to us. Every cookie we use serves a purpose in making your financial education journey more effective and enjoyable. Some cookies last only for your current session, while others remain on your device for up to two years to remember your long-term preferences.

Data Retention and Your Control

Session Cookies: These disappear when you close your browser. We use them for immediate functions like keeping you logged in while you're studying.

Persistent Cookies: These stay on your device for predetermined periods, ranging from 30 days to 2 years. They remember things like your course bookmarks and preferred learning settings.

Third-Party Cookies: Some cookies come from trusted partners who help us provide better service. For instance, our video hosting provider might set cookies to remember your playback quality preferences, or our analytics partner helps us understand which topics students find most valuable.

Keep in mind that blocking certain cookies might affect your experience on our site. For example, without functional cookies, you might need to re-enter your preferences each time you visit, and without performance cookies, we can't improve our course content based on student feedback and usage patterns.

We respect your privacy choices completely. If you decide to limit cookies, our essential educational content will still be available to you, though some convenience features might not work as smoothly. You can always change your mind and adjust these settings whenever you want.

For mobile devices, cookie management works through your browser app settings. The process is similar to desktop browsers, but you'll find the privacy controls in your mobile browser's menu system. Most mobile browsers also offer private browsing modes that don't store cookies between sessions.

We regularly review our cookie practices to ensure we're using only what's necessary and beneficial for your learning experience. As our platform evolves and we add new features to enhance financial education, we'll update this policy to reflect any changes in our tracking technologies.
