Cookie & Data Usage Policy

When you visit herminiamontesanta.pro, we use small data files called cookies along with other tracking technologies to improve your browsing experience. Think of cookies as helpful notes that remind our website of your preferences – like remembering you prefer certain types of investment content or which pages you found most useful.

These technologies work quietly in the background, collecting information about how you interact with our educational content. This helps us understand what resonates with visitors who are learning about investment fundamentals and allows us to continuously improve our resources.

The information we gather serves a practical purpose – making your educational journey more effective. When we see that many visitors spend extra time on our compound interest explanations, we know to expand that section with more examples and practice problems.

If our analytics show people frequently jump from basic concepts to advanced topics, we might add bridging content to smooth that transition. It's similar to how a good teacher adjusts their lesson plan based on student responses and questions.

We also use this data to identify technical issues. If visitors consistently leave during video loading or have trouble with our interactive calculators, we can fix those problems quickly. Your browsing patterns help us spot and resolve these issues before they affect other learners.

We keep different types of data for different periods. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser, while preference cookies might stick around for up to a year so you don't have to reset your choices each visit.

Analytics data gets aggregated and anonymized after six months. This means we can still see overall patterns – like which topics are popular in different seasons – without connecting that information to specific visitors.

You have complete control over this data collection. Most browsers let you block cookies entirely, though this might affect some website functionality. You can also clear existing cookies anytime or set your browser to ask permission before storing new ones.

We work with carefully selected partners who help us provide better educational experiences. Our video hosting service tracks viewing completion rates so we know which explanations are most effective. Our email system monitors open rates to help us time educational content when you're most likely to engage with it.

These partners have their own privacy policies and data handling practices. We choose them based on their commitment to protecting user privacy and their alignment with Canadian privacy standards. However, we encourage you to review their policies directly if you have concerns about specific services.

We don't share personally identifiable information with marketing companies or data brokers. Our focus remains on education, not aggressive marketing or data monetization.
