Cookie Policy
Last Updated: March 15, 2025
We use tracking technologies on pristonmax.info to improve your browsing experience and understand how you interact with our investment education content. This policy explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit websites. They help sites remember your preferences and understand your behavior. Most websites use them — they've become a standard part of how the internet works.
First-Party Cookies: These come directly from pristonmax.info and help us provide the services you expect.
Third-Party Cookies: Set by external services we work with, like analytics providers who help us understand site performance.
We also use similar tracking technologies including web beacons, pixels, and local storage. They all serve the same basic purpose — helping us provide better service to Canadian investors interested in patient investment strategies.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Cookies
These keep the site working properly. Without them, basic features wouldn't function. They handle things like security, session management, and form submissions.
Examples: Session identifiers, security tokens, load balancing data
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices so you don't have to reset preferences every time you visit. They make your experience smoother and more personalized.
Examples: Language preferences, display settings, previously viewed content
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand how people use our site. Which articles get the most attention? Where do visitors spend time? This helps us create better content about patient investing strategies.
Examples: Page view tracking, session duration, navigation paths, content interaction
Marketing Cookies
These help us show you relevant information about our educational programs and resources. They track whether you've seen certain content and help us avoid showing the same materials repeatedly.
Examples: Campaign tracking, content recommendations, engagement measurement
Why We Use These Technologies
- To keep your account secure and maintain session continuity as you navigate through our educational resources
- To remember which study materials you've already reviewed and suggest relevant next steps in your learning journey
- To understand which investment patience concepts resonate most with Canadian investors visiting our site
- To measure the effectiveness of our educational content and identify areas where we can provide clearer explanations
- To optimize page loading times and ensure our platform performs well across different devices and browsers
- To personalize your experience based on your interests in specific investment strategies or timeframes
For example, when you watch an educational video about long-term portfolio management, we use cookies to remember your progress. If you return later, you can pick up where you left off without searching through content again.
How Long Cookies Stay Active
Different cookies have different lifespans depending on their purpose:
| Cookie Type | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Session Cookies | Until browser closes | Temporary tracking for single visit |
| Preference Cookies | 6-12 months | Remember settings between visits |
| Analytics Cookies | 24 months | Long-term usage patterns |
| Marketing Cookies | 12 months | Campaign effectiveness tracking |
We review these timeframes regularly and adjust them based on actual needs. We don't keep data longer than necessary for its intended purpose.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have control over which cookies you accept. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. But keep in mind — blocking essential cookies will prevent parts of our site from working properly.
Browser-Specific Instructions
- Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Options > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage cookies
If you block functional cookies, you'll need to reset your preferences each visit. If you block analytics cookies, we won't be able to improve content based on usage patterns — but your experience won't change otherwise.
Third-Party Services
We work with trusted service providers who may set their own cookies. These include analytics platforms that help us understand site performance and content management systems that power our educational materials.
These providers have their own privacy policies. We only work with services that meet Canadian privacy standards and handle data responsibly. But we don't control their cookies directly — you'll need to manage those through your browser settings or the providers' own opt-out tools.
Updates to This Policy
We update this policy when we change how we use tracking technologies or when regulations change. Significant changes will be announced on our homepage and through email for registered users.
The "Last Updated" date at the top shows when we made the most recent changes. We recommend checking back occasionally, especially if you have specific concerns about tracking technologies.
