Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 2025
We're transparent about how wes-ylnexa.com uses tracking technologies. This policy explains what cookies are, why we need them, and how you can manage your preferences.
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit our site. They help us remember your preferences and understand how you interact with our platform. Most modern websites use them because they make your browsing experience smoother.
What We Track and Why
Our site uses several types of tracking technologies. Some are necessary for basic functionality. Others help us improve our service or understand how people use our platform.
We don't sell your data to third parties. Everything we collect serves a specific purpose related to delivering better financial management tools and educational content.
Essential Cookies
These keep the site working properly. They handle your login sessions, remember your security settings, and ensure forms work correctly. You can't disable these because without them, core features simply won't function. Examples include authentication tokens and session identifiers that expire after you log out.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices so you don't have to keep repeating them. They store things like your preferred language, display settings, and which tools you've accessed recently. They make returning to our site feel familiar rather than starting fresh every time.
Analytical Cookies
We use these to see which pages get visited most, how long people spend reading different sections, and where folks tend to get stuck. This information helps us fix confusing areas and create better content. We aggregate this data so individual browsing patterns aren't tracked personally.
Marketing Cookies
These help us show relevant information about our learning programs to people who might be interested. If you've looked at our course materials, you might see related content when you visit other sites. You can reject these without affecting how our main platform works.
Current Status: Cookies Accepted
Clicking this button will remove tracking, analytics, and marketing cookies while keeping essential ones that make the site work properly.
How Long Cookies Stay Active
Different cookies have different lifespans depending on their purpose.
- Session cookies disappear when you close your browser
- Preference cookies typically last 12 months so your settings persist
- Analytics cookies remain for 24 months to track long-term usage patterns
- Marketing cookies expire after 90 days unless you interact with them again
Managing Your Browser Settings
Every major browser lets you control cookies through its settings menu. Here's what you can typically do:
You can block all cookies, though this might break some website features. You can also set your browser to ask permission before accepting each cookie, which gives you granular control but can be tedious. Most people choose to accept cookies from sites they trust while blocking third-party trackers.
In Chrome, look under Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies. Firefox puts the controls under Options > Privacy & Security. Safari users can find them in Preferences > Privacy. Edge has similar options under Settings > Cookies and Site Permissions.
Keep in mind that clearing cookies will log you out of most sites and reset your preferences. If you're signed into wes-ylnexa.com when you clear cookies, you'll need to log back in.

Third-Party Services

When you reject non-essential cookies using the button above, we also signal to these third-party services to stop tracking you on our site. However, they might still track you on other websites where you haven't opted out.

We review and update this policy periodically. If we make significant changes to how we use cookies, we'll notify you through a banner on the site or via email if you have an account.
