Understanding how Dralmen uses tracking technologies to enhance your learning experience
When you visit dralmen.vip, we use various tracking technologies to make your experience better. Think of cookies as small digital helpers that remember your preferences and help us understand what's working well. This policy explains what we track, why we do it, and how you can control these settings.
What Are Cookies and How Do They Work?
Cookies are tiny text files that get stored on your device when you browse websites. They're not programs and can't harm your computer. When you return to our site, these files help us recognize you and remember your choices — like which investment analysis module you were reviewing or your preferred chart display settings.
Most modern websites use cookies because they make browsing smoother. Without them, you'd need to log in every time you switched pages or reset all your preferences during each visit. We use several types of tracking technologies beyond traditional cookies, including local storage and session tokens, but we'll refer to all of them as "cookies" throughout this document for simplicity.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These cookies keep our platform running smoothly. They handle your login sessions, remember your security settings, and make sure the site functions correctly across different pages. You can't turn these off without breaking core functionality. For example, when you're moving through our investment basics course, essential cookies remember where you are so you don't lose your place.
Functional Cookies
These remember your personal choices. If you prefer dark mode for reading financial charts late at night, or you've set the site to show Canadian dollar examples by default, functional cookies store those preferences. They make your experience more comfortable but aren't strictly necessary for the site to work.
Analytical Cookies
We use these to understand how people use our educational content. Which lessons get completed most often? Where do students tend to pause and rewatch? This information helps us improve our teaching methods and identify topics that might need clearer explanation. All data is anonymized and we never track individual reading habits in a personally identifiable way.
Marketing Cookies
These help us show you relevant information about upcoming courses or new learning resources. If you've been exploring our sections on portfolio diversification, we might mention when we add new content in that area. We don't share this data with advertisers or use it to track you across other websites.
How Cookies Improve Your Learning Experience
Here's what cookies actually do for you when you're using Dralmen:
Without these technologies, using our platform would feel clunky. You'd lose your place constantly, need to reset your preferences repeatedly, and we'd have no way to improve the content based on actual usage patterns.
Data Retention and Storage
Different cookies stick around for different lengths of time. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser — these handle temporary things like keeping you logged in during a single study session. Persistent cookies stay longer, anywhere from a few weeks to a couple years.
| Cookie Type | Retention Period | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Login Session | Until browser closes | Maintains your authenticated session |
| Course Progress | 12 months | Tracks completed modules and bookmarks |
| Display Preferences | 6 months | Remembers your chart and layout settings |
| Analytics Data | 24 months | Helps us improve course content |
We regularly review and clear outdated cookie data. If you haven't visited the site in over two years, most of your stored preferences will be automatically removed from our systems.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have complete control over cookies. Every browser lets you block, delete, or selectively allow them. Be aware that blocking essential cookies will prevent you from using key features of our learning platform. Here's how to manage cookies in common browsers:
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 → Cookies and site data
You can also clear all cookies at any time through your browser settings. Just remember this will log you out of all websites and reset your preferences everywhere, not just on Dralmen.
Third-Party Cookies
Sometimes our site uses cookies from other services. For example, if we embed a financial market data widget from a third-party provider, that service might set its own cookies. We're careful about which external services we use and only work with reputable companies that respect user privacy.
We don't allow third-party advertising networks to track you on our site. Any external cookies are there to provide specific functionality — like displaying real-time market data or enabling secure payment processing for course enrollment.
Updates to This Policy
Web technologies change and so do our teaching methods. We might update this cookie policy occasionally to reflect new tracking technologies or changes in how we use data. When we make significant changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page and may notify active users through email or a site banner.
If you're a regular visitor, it's worth checking back here once a year or so to stay informed about how we handle cookies. We're committed to transparency and want you to understand exactly what's happening behind the scenes.
