What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?

When you visit castlytech.com, we use various tracking technologies to improve your browsing experience and provide better services. Think of these as digital tools that help us remember your preferences and understand how you interact with our educational platform.

Cookies are small text files stored on your device that contain information about your visit. They're like digital bookmarks that help us recognize you when you return. But we also use other technologies like web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage to gather insights about how our financial education resources are being used.

These technologies work silently in the background, collecting data about your browsing patterns, the pages you visit most often, and how you navigate through our geopolitical risk trading content. This information helps us create a more personalized and effective learning experience.

Types of Tracking We Use

How Tracking Enhances Your Experience

Our tracking technologies work behind the scenes to make your learning journey more effective and personalized. When you're studying complex geopolitical risk factors, for instance, we can remember where you left off in your coursework and suggest related materials that match your learning pace.

Specific Benefits You'll Notice

• Automatic resume functionality for video lessons and interactive trading simulations
• Personalized dashboard showing your progress through risk management modules
• Relevant course suggestions based on your interests in specific geopolitical regions
• Faster page loading times through optimized content delivery
• Seamless access to your saved research papers and market analysis tools
• Customized email notifications about market events relevant to your studies
• Integration with your preferred learning schedule and study reminders

For example, if you spend considerable time reviewing materials about Asian market volatility, our system will prioritize showing you updates about political developments in that region that could affect trading conditions. This isn't random - it's based on your demonstrated interests and learning patterns.

Data Retention and Your Control

We don't keep tracking data indefinitely. Different types of information have different retention periods based on their purpose and legal requirements. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser, while preference cookies might stay for up to two years to maintain your customized learning environment.

Your analytical data - things like which courses you've completed and how long you spend on different topics - is kept for up to three years. This allows us to provide long-term progress tracking and helps our instructors understand learning patterns across our student base.

What You Can Control

• Delete all cookies and start fresh at any time through your browser settings
• Block specific types of tracking while allowing essential functionality
• Request a copy of all data we've collected about your learning activities
• Ask us to delete your tracking history and start with a clean slate
• Opt out of marketing-related tracking while maintaining course functionality
• Set preferences for how long we retain your learning progress data
