We believe in transparency. This policy explains
what tracking technologies we use on our site and
why they matter for your experience here.
When you visit wueltex.info, small data files
interact with your browser. These help us
understand how people move through our educational
content and where we might improve things. Nothing
sinister—just practical tools that help us serve
you better.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Cookies are small text files. Your browser stores
them when you visit websites. They remember things
like your preferences or what you clicked on last
time.
Some expire when you close your browser. Others
stick around longer. We use both types, and here's
why each matters.
Think of them as bookmarks your browser keeps to
make your next visit smoother. Without them,
websites would treat you like a complete stranger
every single time.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Functions
These make the site actually work. Things
like remembering you're logged in or keeping
items in your course selection.
Without these, basic features break. You
can't disable them because they're necessary
for the site to function at all.
Functional Preferences
These remember your choices—language
settings, display preferences, that sort of
thing.
They save you from having to reset everything
each visit. Not critical but definitely
convenient.
Performance Analytics
We track which pages people visit and how
long they stay. This helps us spot confusing
sections or identify popular content.
All data gets anonymized. We see patterns,
not individuals. It's about improving the
learning experience for everyone.
Educational Marketing
These track whether you came from a specific
campaign or referral. They help us understand
which outreach efforts actually work.
If you signed up after reading a particular
article, we'd like to know that worked. Then
we can create more helpful content like it.
How We Actually Use This Information
Improving Course Content
When we notice people leaving a specific lesson
halfway through, that's a signal. Maybe the
explanation wasn't clear. Maybe the examples felt
too abstract.
We use analytics to spot these friction points.
Then our instructors can rework that section into
something more digestible.
Testing New Features
Sometimes we'll show different versions of a page
to different visitors. A/B testing, basically.
We're checking which layout helps people find
information faster.
The data tells us whether our changes actually
helped or just cluttered things up. We keep what
works and scrap what doesn't.
Personalizing Your Experience
If you've shown interest in dividend investing, we
might surface related webinars on your dashboard.
Nothing creepy—just connecting you with content
that matches what you've already explored.
You're always in control though. These are
suggestions, not mandates.
Questions About Your Data?
Want to see what data we have?
Email us at [email protected]. We'll send
you a summary of any personal information
we've stored. Usually takes about five
business days.
Need to update something?
Log into your account dashboard. Most
preferences can be changed directly from
there. For anything else, contact our team.
Want everything deleted?
Submit a deletion request through your
account settings. We'll remove your data
within 30 days, except what we're legally
required to keep for tax purposes.
Have concerns about tracking?
Use the browser controls below to manage
cookies. You can block analytics and
marketing trackers while keeping essential
functions.
Managing Your Browser Settings
Every browser lets you control cookies. Here's
where to find those settings in the most common
ones:
- 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
Fair warning: blocking all cookies might break some
features on our site. Essential functions need
those files to work properly.
You can usually find a middle ground—allow
essential cookies but block marketing ones, for
example.
How Long We Keep Data
Session cookies disappear when you close your
browser. These handle temporary stuff like keeping
you logged in during a single visit.
Persistent cookies stick around longer. Preference
settings might last a year. Analytics data
typically gets anonymized after 14 months.
Marketing cookies usually expire after 90 days. If
you haven't engaged with our content in three
months, we stop tracking that campaign connection.
Some data we're required to keep for legal
reasons—financial records, enrollment history, that
sort of thing. Irish law requires us to maintain
certain records for seven years.
Third-Party Services
We use a few external tools—analytics platforms,
video hosting, payment processors. Each has its own
tracking methods.
- Analytics platforms track visitor behavior
across our site to generate usage reports
- Video hosting services remember playback
preferences and viewing history
- Payment processors need to verify transactions
and prevent fraud
- Email platforms track whether you opened our
messages or clicked links
These services have their own privacy policies.
We've vetted them, but you should read their terms
too if you're concerned about data sharing.
We don't give these companies more access than they
need to provide their specific service. Payment
processors get transaction data. Analytics tools
get anonymized usage stats. That's it.
Your Rights Under GDPR
Since we operate in Ireland, GDPR applies. That
gives you specific rights about your personal data.
You can request access to what we have. You can ask
us to correct mistakes. You can tell us to delete
everything (with some legal exceptions).
You can object to certain processing activities.
You can ask us to transfer your data to another
service. You can withdraw consent at any time.
These aren't just theoretical rights. We've built
actual processes to handle these requests. Our team
responds within 30 days.
Changes to This Policy
We update this document occasionally. Usually when
we add new features or change how we handle data.
Major changes get announced through email or a
notice on the site. Minor updates might just appear
here with a new date at the top.
Check back every few months if you're curious. The
date at the top shows when we last made revisions.
