Manage Your Cookie Preferences
What Are Cookies and Why Do We Use Them?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit our website. Think of them as digital breadcrumbs that help us remember your preferences and understand how you interact with our content.
We use these tracking technologies to make your experience on wise-shinepoint.com smoother and more personalized. They help us remember which courses you've looked at, keep you logged in between sessions, and understand which educational resources are most helpful to our Vietnam-based and international students.
Different Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Cookies
These keep the site functional and secure. They're necessary for basic operations like maintaining your session when you navigate between pages, remembering your login status, and protecting against security threats. You can't disable these because the site won't work properly without them.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices and preferences. For example, they store your preferred language setting, remember which financial analysis course modules you've completed, and keep track of your progress through our learning materials.
Analytical Cookies
These help us understand how visitors use our site. We collect anonymous data about which pages get the most visits, how long students spend on specific lessons, and which resources lead to successful course completion. This information helps us improve our educational content.
Marketing Cookies
These track your browsing across different sites to show you relevant educational opportunities. They help us understand which advertising channels bring students to our platform and allow us to show you information about courses that might interest you based on your previous interactions.
How These Technologies Enhance Your Learning
- Remembering your course progress so you can pick up exactly where you left off
- Personalizing content recommendations based on your learning path and interests
- Analyzing which teaching methods and materials work best for our students
- Improving site performance by understanding loading times and technical issues
- Showing you relevant course updates and new educational resources
- Maintaining secure access to your account and personal learning dashboard
Your Control Over Data Collection
You have complete control over which cookies we use. By clicking the "Decline All Non-Essential Cookies" button above, you can opt out of functional, analytical, and marketing cookies while still accessing our core educational content. Essential cookies will remain active to ensure the site functions properly. Your choice is saved and will be respected on future visits.
Managing Cookies Through Your Browser
Beyond our preference tool, you can control cookies directly through your browser settings. Most modern browsers let you block cookies entirely, delete existing ones, or set preferences for specific websites.
In Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge, you'll find cookie controls in the privacy or security section of your settings. You can choose to block all third-party cookies while allowing first-party ones from wise-shinepoint.com, or set your browser to prompt you before accepting any cookies.
Keep in mind that blocking essential cookies will prevent certain site features from working. You might experience issues with logging in, maintaining your session, or accessing personalized learning content.
How Long We Keep Cookie Data
Different cookies have different lifespans depending on their purpose. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser – these are temporary and just help you navigate the site during a single visit.
Persistent cookies stick around longer. Our preference cookies might last up to 12 months so we remember your settings between visits. Analytical cookies typically expire after two years, giving us enough data to spot trends in how our educational content performs over time.
Marketing cookies usually expire within 90 days, though some advertising partners may use longer retention periods. You can delete any of these cookies manually through your browser at any time.
Third-Party Services and Their Tracking
Some cookies on our site come from third-party services we use to deliver content and analyze site performance. These might include video hosting platforms for our course materials, analytics tools that help us understand user behavior, or advertising networks that help us reach potential students. Each of these services has its own privacy policy and cookie practices, which we've vetted to ensure they align with our commitment to your privacy.
Changes to Our Cookie Practices
As we develop new features and improve our platform, our use of cookies may evolve. We might add new analytical tools to better understand student success, integrate new educational technologies that require different tracking methods, or adjust our marketing approach based on student feedback.
When we make significant changes to how we use cookies, we'll update this page and notify active users through email or an on-site notification. We recommend checking back periodically if you're concerned about tracking technologies.
