Cookie & Data Usage Policy
Understanding how quistralunex collects and uses your information
Last updated: January 15, 2025
At quistralunex, we believe transparency about data collection builds trust. This comprehensive policy explains exactly how our website uses various tracking technologies to enhance your experience while respecting your privacy choices. We've structured this information to help you understand not just what we collect, but why it matters for your financial education journey.
What Are Cookies & Tracking Technologies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit websites. Think of them as digital breadcrumbs that help websites remember your preferences and activities. Beyond traditional cookies, we also use web beacons, pixel tags, and similar technologies to understand how users interact with our financial learning platform.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Cookies
These cookies are absolutely necessary for our website to function properly. Without them, you wouldn't be able to access your learning materials or navigate between sections.
- Maintaining your login session while you study
- Remembering items in your course cart
- Ensuring secure connections for sensitive financial data
- Providing accessibility features you've enabled
Functional Cookies
These enhance your experience by remembering your choices and personalizing your learning environment. They make your return visits more convenient and tailored.
- Saving your preferred language and region settings
- Remembering your progress through financial education modules
- Storing your dashboard layout preferences
- Maintaining your selected measurement units and display options
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand how visitors use our platform, helping us improve our educational content and identify which financial topics are most valuable to our community.
- Tracking which lessons are completed most frequently
- Understanding where users spend the most time learning

Marketing Cookies
These help us show you relevant information about financial education opportunities and track the effectiveness of our educational outreach efforts.

How Tracking Enhances Your Experience
Every piece of data we collect serves a specific purpose in improving your financial education journey. When you return to our platform, cookies help us pick up exactly where you left off in your learning path. If you were halfway through a budgeting module, we'll remember that. If you prefer visual charts over text-heavy content, we'll note that preference too.
Analytics data helps us understand which financial concepts cause confusion, allowing us to refine our explanations and add more examples. For instance, if we notice many users spending extra time on investment terminology, we might create additional glossary resources or interactive tools to clarify those concepts.
Important: We never use tracking data to make financial decisions on your behalf or to access your personal banking information. Our tracking focuses exclusively on educational content interaction and platform functionality.

Data Retention and Your Rights
Different types of cookies have different lifespans. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain until their expiration date or until you delete them. Our essential cookies typically last for the duration of your session, while preference cookies might persist for up to one year to maintain your settings between visits.
Analytics cookies generally expire after two years, giving us enough time to identify trends in learning behavior while ensuring data doesn't accumulate indefinitely. Marketing cookies have varying lifespans depending on their specific purpose, but most expire within 30 to 90 days.
You have the right to access, modify, or delete your data at any time. This includes requesting information about what data we've collected, asking us to correct inaccuracies, or requesting complete deletion of your information from our systems.
Remember: Disabling certain cookies might limit some website functionality. For example, without functional cookies, you'll need to reset your preferences each time you visit, and we won't be able to remember your progress through our educational modules.
Third-Party Cookies and Services
Some cookies on our site come from third-party services that help us provide better educational experiences. These might include analytics providers, educational content delivery networks, or customer support chat systems. We carefully vet all third-party services to ensure they meet our privacy standards.
When you use our platform, you might also encounter cookies from embedded content like educational videos or interactive financial calculators. These third-party cookies are governed by their respective privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.
Updates to This Policy
We review and update this cookie policy regularly to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, and our educational offerings. When we make significant changes, we'll notify active users through email or platform notifications. Minor updates, like clarifying existing practices or updating contact information, will be posted here with an updated revision date.
We recommend checking this policy periodically, especially if you have specific concerns about data collection or if you notice changes in how our website behaves. Your continued use of our platform after policy updates constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
