What Are Tracking Technologies?
When you visit hexagonalcore.pro, we use various tracking technologies to understand how our investment education platform works for different learners. Think of these as digital tools that help us see which educational content resonates most with aspiring investors and where students might be getting stuck in their learning journey.
These technologies aren't mysterious or invasive. They're standard web tools that most educational platforms use to improve their services. Some help us remember your preferences between visits, while others show us anonymous patterns about how people navigate our learning materials.
Types of Tracking We Use
Our platform uses four main categories of tracking technologies, each serving a specific purpose in enhancing your learning experience:
Essential Functionality
These keep basic website functions working properly. They remember your login status, language preferences, and ensure secure connections during your study sessions.
Learning Analytics
We track which investment concepts are challenging for students, how long people spend on different topics, and where learners typically need additional support.
Performance Monitoring
These help us identify technical issues, slow-loading pages, or broken links that might interrupt your education. We use this data to maintain a smooth learning platform.
Educational Optimization
We analyze anonymous browsing patterns to understand which educational pathways work best for different types of learners interested in investment literacy.
How This Data Improves Your Experience
The tracking data we collect directly supports better investment education. When we see that many students struggle with a particular financial concept, we create additional explanatory content or adjust our teaching approach.
Real Examples of How We Use Tracking Data:
- If analytics show students frequently leave during compound interest lessons, we might add more visual examples or interactive calculators
- When we notice Canadian users spending extra time on tax-related investment topics, we develop more Canada-specific educational materials
- Technical monitoring helps us identify if our portfolio simulation tools are loading slowly on certain devices
- Learning path analysis shows us whether beginners benefit more from starting with basic concepts or jumping into practical exercises
- We track which educational resources are downloaded most often to prioritize updates and improvements
This isn't about monitoring individual users. We're looking at aggregate patterns that help us build better educational experiences for everyone interested in learning about investing.
Data Retention and Your Control
How Long We Keep Different Types of Data
Essential functionality data persists until you clear your browser or log out. Learning analytics are anonymized and kept for two years to track long-term educational improvements. Performance monitoring data is typically purged every 90 days. Most tracking can be controlled through your browser settings.
You have significant control over these tracking technologies. Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete different types of tracking data. Some of our educational features might work differently if you disable certain tracking, but the core learning content remains fully accessible.
We believe in transparent data practices. If you're curious about what specific data we've collected during your visits, you can contact us directly for a detailed breakdown of your personal tracking profile.
Managing Your Browser Settings
Every major browser gives you tools to control tracking technologies. Here's how to access these controls in popular browsers:
Chrome
Settings → Privacy and Security → Site Settings → Cookies and Site Data. You can block third-party tracking while allowing functional cookies.
Firefox
Options → Privacy & Security → Enhanced Tracking Protection. Firefox offers built-in tracking protection with different levels of blocking.
Safari
Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data. Safari includes intelligent tracking prevention that's automatically enabled.
Edge
Settings → Site Permissions → Cookies and Site Data. Edge provides tracking prevention with three levels: Basic, Balanced, and Strict.
Most browsers also offer private or incognito modes that significantly limit tracking. While these modes might reset your learning preferences between sessions, they provide maximum privacy control.
