What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device when you visit them. They help websites remember your preferences and track how you navigate through pages. Most websites use them—they've become standard practice across the internet.

These files contain basic information about your browsing session. Some disappear when you close your browser, while others stick around for longer periods. The information they collect helps us make our platform work better for you.

Types of Tracking We Use

How We Use This Information

The data we collect through cookies serves several practical purposes. We track which educational resources get accessed most frequently, allowing us to focus our development efforts where they'll have the biggest impact. If people consistently navigate away from certain sections, that tells us something needs fixing.

We also use this information to improve our venture building programs. By understanding how visitors interact with our platform, we can refine our content structure and make information easier to find. It's about making the experience smoother for everyone.

Other Tracking Technologies

Besides cookies, we use a few other technologies to understand how people use our platform. Web beacons (also called pixel tags) help us track email open rates when we send program updates or learning materials. They're tiny transparent images embedded in messages that tell us whether the email was opened.

Local storage keeps larger amounts of data on your device compared to traditional cookies. We use it to cache educational content you've accessed, which speeds up loading times when you return to previously viewed materials. This improves performance, particularly for our video content and interactive learning modules.

Managing Your Preferences

Browser Settings

Most browsers let you control cookies through their settings menu. You can typically find these options under "Privacy" or "Security" sections. Each browser handles this differently, but they all offer ways to block cookies, delete existing ones, or receive notifications before new ones are stored.

• Chrome users can manage cookies through Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
• Firefox provides cookie controls under Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Safari users find these settings in Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
• Edge offers cookie management through Settings → Cookies and site permissions

Keep in mind that blocking all cookies might affect how orinqualmira.com functions. You won't be able to stay logged in, and some features might not work as expected. We recommend allowing essential cookies while adjusting preferences for optional tracking.

Mobile Devices

If you're accessing our platform through a mobile browser, cookie controls work similarly to desktop versions. iOS users can manage tracking through Safari settings, while Android users can adjust Chrome settings. Mobile apps may use different identifiers, which can be controlled through your device's privacy settings.

Third-Party Services

Some of the tracking on our site comes from third-party services we use to run our platform. Analytics providers help us understand user behavior, while content delivery networks speed up page loading. These services may set their own cookies when you visit orinqualmira.com.

We work with providers who maintain high privacy standards, but they operate under their own policies. When third-party cookies are involved, those companies' privacy policies apply to how they handle your data. We choose partners carefully, but you should be aware that multiple parties might collect information during your visit.

Changes to This Policy

We update this policy occasionally as our tracking practices evolve or regulations change. When we make significant changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page. For major updates that substantially change how we collect or use data, we'll notify users through our platform or via email.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically. The finance and education technology landscape shifts quickly, and our practices may need to adapt. Staying informed about how we handle your data helps you make educated decisions about using our platform.
