Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help websites remember information about your visit. At corvalenium, we use various tracking technologies beyond traditional cookies, including web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage mechanisms.

These technologies serve different purposes - some are absolutely necessary for our banking education platform to work properly, while others help us improve your experience or understand how people use our services. We believe in transparency about how these tools work and what data they collect.

Our financial education platform relies on several categories of tracking to function effectively and provide you with relevant learning experiences. Here's how we actually use these technologies in practice:

Learning Progress Tracking: When you're working through our banking fundamentals courses or mortgage calculation tutorials, we use cookies to save your progress. This means you can pick up exactly where you left off, even if you close your browser or switch devices.

Personalization Engine: We track which topics interest you most - whether you spend more time on investment basics or small business banking - to suggest relevant webinars and learning materials. This isn't about collecting personal financial data; it's about understanding your educational preferences.

Security Monitoring: Our platform uses tracking to detect unusual login patterns or suspicious activity. If someone tries to access your account from an unfamiliar location, our security cookies help us identify potential threats and protect your learning profile.

Performance Analytics: We monitor how quickly our pages load, which features people use most, and where users encounter difficulties. This data helps us optimize the platform - for example, if we notice people struggling with our loan calculator, we can redesign it for better usability.

Different types of cookies have different lifespans on your device, and we want you to understand exactly how long we keep this information:

Essential cookies typically last for your browser session only. Once you close all corvalenium tabs, these cookies disappear automatically. However, some security-related cookies may persist for up to 30 days to protect against certain types of attacks.

Preference cookies can last up to one year. This includes your chosen language settings, whether you prefer our advanced or beginner-friendly interface, and your notification preferences for upcoming webinars.

Analytics cookies from Google Analytics are set to expire after 26 months, though you can delete them at any time through your browser settings or our preference controls above.

You have complete control over most cookies. The preference panel at the top of this page gives you granular control over different categories, and your browser provides additional management tools. We'll respect your choices and won't attempt to recreate cookies you've specifically rejected.

Every modern browser gives you tools to manage cookies, though the exact steps vary. Here's how to access cookie controls in popular browsers:

You can also enable "Do Not Track" signals in most browsers, though this feature has limited support across the web. Private or incognito browsing modes automatically delete cookies when you close the window, which can be useful if you're using a shared computer to access our learning platform.

Keep in mind that blocking all cookies will limit some functionality on our site. You won't be able to stay logged in between visits, and we won't be able to remember your learning preferences or course progress.

This cookie policy reflects our current practices as of March 2025. As we continue developing new features for our banking education platform and as privacy regulations evolve, we may need to update how we use tracking technologies.

When we make significant changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page and notify you through our usual channels - typically via email if you're subscribed to our newsletter, or through a notification banner when you next visit the site.

Minor clarifications or updates to reflect current practices won't trigger notifications, but you can always check this page for the most current information about our cookie usage.
