Types of Cookies We Use
We use several categories of cookies to optimise your experience on our financial education platform. Essential cookies enable basic functionality like navigating our course pages and accessing your learning progress. These are necessary for the site to operate properly. Performance cookies collect information about how you use our site, including which trading strategy lessons you access most frequently and how long you spend on portfolio diversification content. This helps us improve our course structure and economic indicator explanations.
Functionality cookies remember your preferences, such as your selected learning level or preferred currency for stock exchange examples. Analytical cookies help us understand user behaviour patterns across our financial education platform. We use this data to enhance our teaching methods and ensure our content about market operations remains clear and accessible to Irish learners.
How We Use Cookies
Our cookies serve multiple important purposes throughout your educational journey with us. We use them to track your progress through our free online trading courses, allowing you to resume lessons exactly where you left off. When you log into your account, cookies maintain your session so you don't need to authenticate repeatedly while exploring our stock exchange education modules.
We analyse cookie data to understand which economic indicator topics resonate most with learners and which portfolio basics concepts require clearer explanation. This feedback directly improves our course curriculum and teaching approach. Performance data helps us identify slow-loading pages or technical issues that might hinder your learning experience. Additionally, we use cookies to display relevant educational content and recommendations based on your interests in trading strategies and market operations.
