Cookie Policy
Understanding how we use tracking technologies on brainshinemark.com to enhance your experience while respecting your privacy choices
Current Status: Cookies Accepted
What Are Cookies and Why Do We Use Them?
Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit websites. Think of them as digital notes that help websites remember who you are and what you've done during previous visits.
We use these tracking technologies at brainshinemark.com to make your experience smoother. They help us remember your preferences, understand which content resonates with visitors, and improve our financial education resources over time.
Not all cookies are the same, though. Some are essential for the site to work properly, while others help us analyze traffic patterns or remember your preferences across sessions.
Types of Tracking Technologies We Use
Essential Cookies
These are the ones that keep our site functioning properly. Without them, you wouldn't be able to navigate between pages or access secure areas. They're necessary for basic operations.
- Session identifiers that maintain your connection
- Security tokens that protect against unauthorized access
- Load balancing cookies that distribute server traffic efficiently
These cannot be disabled as they're critical for site functionality.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices and preferences. For example, if you've selected a specific region or adjusted text size, functional cookies store that information so you don't have to reset it every time.
- Language and region preferences
- Display settings and accessibility options
- Previously viewed course materials or resources
Analytical Cookies
These help us understand how people interact with our working capital analysis resources. We collect anonymous data about which pages get the most attention, how long visitors stay, and where they might encounter difficulties.
- Page visit counts and navigation patterns
- Time spent on educational content
- Error reports and technical performance metrics
We use this information to refine our content and make it more useful for people learning about financial analysis.
Marketing Cookies
These track your activity across different websites to build a profile of your interests. We use them to show relevant course announcements and educational opportunities that might interest you.
- Tracking of visited pages for personalized content
- Interest-based learning recommendations
- Conversion tracking for program enrollment
You can opt out of these anytime using the button at the top of this page.
Managing Cookies Through Your Browser
While our rejection button above handles non-essential cookies on brainshinemark.com, you can also control cookies directly through your browser settings. Here's how to do it in common browsers:
Google Chrome
Go to Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. You can block all cookies, block third-party cookies, or clear existing ones.
Mozilla Firefox
Open Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. Firefox offers enhanced tracking protection with customizable levels.
Safari
Navigate to Preferences → Privacy. Safari includes intelligent tracking prevention that blocks many third-party cookies by default.
Microsoft Edge
Access Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies and site data. Edge provides tracking prevention at three different levels.
How Long We Keep Cookie Data
Different cookies have different lifespans depending on their purpose. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Others might stick around for weeks or months.
Essential cookies typically last for the duration of your session. Functional cookies might persist for 30 to 90 days so we can remember your preferences across visits. Analytical cookies generally stay for up to two years to help us track long-term trends.
Marketing cookies can last anywhere from a few days to several months, depending on the specific advertising platform. But remember, you can clear these anytime through the rejection button above or your browser settings.
When you use our cookie rejection tool, we store your preference in your browser's local storage. This ensures we remember your choice and don't reactivate non-essential tracking on your next visit.
Third-Party Cookies and External Services
Some cookies on brainshinemark.com come from third-party services we use. For instance, if we embed educational videos or use analytics platforms, those services might place their own cookies on your device.
We work with reputable providers who follow data protection standards, but we don't have direct control over their cookie practices. Each third party has its own privacy policy that governs how they handle your information.
When you reject non-essential cookies using our tool, we send signals to these third-party services to respect your choice. However, for complete control, you might also want to adjust settings directly with those services or use browser-level blocking.
Your Rights and Choices
You're in control of how we track your activity on our site. You can accept all cookies, reject non-essential ones, or manage them individually through your browser.
Blocking certain cookies might affect your experience on brainshinemark.com. For example, if you disable functional cookies, we won't remember your preferences between visits. If you block analytical cookies, we'll have less information about how to improve our educational content.
But essential site functionality will always work, regardless of your cookie preferences. We believe you should have access to our working capital analysis resources whether you accept tracking or not.
If you have questions about our cookie practices or want to exercise your data rights, you can reach out to us anytime through the contact information below.
