Cookie Policy
Last Updated: March 2025
At reflectivecog.com, we believe in being transparent about how we collect and use data. This policy explains how tracking technologies work on our site and what choices you have. We're not trying to hide anything behind legal jargon—just giving you the real story about what happens when you visit our educational platform.
What Are Cookies and Why Do We Use Them?
Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you browse websites. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help websites remember things about your visit.
We use cookies to make your experience on reflectivecog.com smoother and more personalized. They help us remember your preferences, understand which content resonates with learners, and keep our educational platform running efficiently. Without them, you'd have to reconfigure your settings every single time you visited.
Some cookies stick around for a while, others disappear when you close your browser. We use both types depending on what needs to be remembered.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Cookies
These are the ones we absolutely need to keep things working. They handle basic functions like security, network management, and remembering which course materials you've accessed during your session. You can't really opt out of these without breaking the site.
Functional Cookies
These remember your preferences—language settings, display options, and navigation choices. They make your repeat visits feel familiar rather than starting from scratch each time. Turning these off means the site won't remember you next visit.
Analytical Cookies
We use these to understand how people interact with our educational content. Which lessons get the most attention? Where do learners struggle? This data helps us improve our materials and spot areas that need better explanation. It's anonymized, so we're looking at patterns rather than tracking individuals.
Marketing Cookies
These track your activity across different sites to show you relevant content about our programs. If you've been exploring financial analysis topics elsewhere, you might see information about our courses. We get that some people find this useful while others find it invasive—your call on whether to enable these.
What Data Gets Collected?
When you visit reflectivecog.com, our tracking technologies collect several types of information:
- Technical data like your browser type, device information, and operating system
- How you navigate through our content—which pages you visit and how long you stay
- Your interaction with educational materials and course information
- Preferences you've set for language, display options, and content filters
- Referring sources that brought you to our site
We don't collect sensitive personal information through cookies. That kind of data only comes directly from you when you choose to share it through contact forms or enrollment processes.
How Long We Keep Cookie Data
Different cookies have different lifespans based on their purpose:
| Cookie Type | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Session Cookies | Until browser closes | Maintain your active session while browsing |
| Preference Cookies | 12 months | Remember your settings between visits |
| Analytics Cookies | 24 months | Track usage patterns over time |
| Marketing Cookies | 6 months | Deliver relevant program information |
Once these timeframes expire, the cookies automatically delete themselves. You can also manually clear them anytime through your browser settings.
Third-Party Services
We work with some external services that place their own cookies when you visit our site. These help with analytics, content delivery, and platform functionality.
These third-party services have their own privacy policies that govern how they use data. We've vetted the ones we work with, but you should know they're collecting information according to their own terms, not just ours.
Common third-party services we use include analytics platforms for understanding user behavior and content delivery networks that help pages load faster for visitors in Taiwan and throughout Asia.

Changes to This Policy
We update this policy occasionally when we change how we use tracking technologies or when regulations require it. When we make significant changes, we'll update the date at the top and notify users through our platform.
It's worth checking back here periodically if you're curious about how we're handling data. We try to keep this document current with our actual practices rather than letting it become outdated.
