We believe in transparency. This policy explains how legitimax.pro uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website. Think of cookies as small helpers that remember your preferences and make your browsing smoother.
By continuing to use our site, you're agreeing to our use of these technologies as described here. But don't worry – you have control over most of them, and we'll show you how.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Cookies are tiny text files that get stored on your device when you visit websites. They're not programs and can't carry viruses. Instead, they help websites recognize you when you return.
When you visit legitimax.pro, our server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores it, and sends it back with future requests. This helps us remember things like your language preference or which courses you've viewed.
Cookies can't access other files on your computer or identify you personally without additional information. They're simply data files that enhance functionality.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These are necessary for the website to function properly. Without them, you wouldn't be able to navigate between pages or access secure areas. We can't turn these off in our systems.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices and preferences – like your preferred language or region. They make your experience more personalized without tracking your browsing elsewhere.
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand how visitors interact with our site. They help us see which pages are popular, where people spend time, and where we need improvements. All data is aggregated and anonymous.
Performance Cookies
These track how well our site performs for you. They help us identify technical issues and ensure pages load quickly. This data helps us maintain a smooth user experience.
How We Use Tracking Data
- Recognizing you when you return to our site so you don't need to re-enter information
- Remembering your course browsing history to suggest relevant educational content
- Understanding which investment topics interest you most so we can improve our curriculum
- Analyzing traffic patterns to identify peak usage times and optimize server performance
- Testing different layouts and features to see what works best for learners
- Tracking completion rates for educational materials to improve course structure
- Monitoring technical errors that might interrupt your learning experience
- Ensuring our contact forms work properly when you reach out to us
We don't sell your browsing data to third parties. Period. The information we collect serves one purpose: making legitimax.pro a better educational resource for Canadian investors.
Third-Party Cookies
Sometimes we work with trusted partners who help us run our website effectively. These partners might set their own cookies when you visit legitimax.pro.
For example, if we embed a video from an educational platform, that platform might set cookies to track video playback. Or if we use analytics tools to understand site traffic, those services use their own cookies to collect data.
A Word About Third Parties
We're careful about who we work with. Any third-party service we use must meet our standards for data protection and user privacy.
These partners have their own privacy policies that govern how they use cookies. While we can't control their practices, we only partner with reputable companies that align with our values.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You're in control. Modern browsers give you several options for managing cookies.
Browser Controls
Here's how to manage cookies in popular browsers. Keep in mind that blocking all cookies might affect your experience on legitimax.pro and other websites.
Google Chrome
Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. Choose your preferred level of cookie blocking.
Mozilla Firefox
Settings → Privacy & Security → Enhanced Tracking Protection. Select Standard, Strict, or Custom protection.
Safari
Preferences → Privacy → Cookies and website data. Choose whether to block all cookies or only third-party ones.
Microsoft Edge

Most browsers also let you view and delete existing cookies. Look for "Clear browsing data" or similar options in your browser settings.
Cookie Lifespan
Not all cookies last forever. Some disappear the moment you close your browser. Others stick around longer.
Session Cookies
These are temporary. They exist only while you're actively browsing our site and vanish when you close your browser. We use session cookies for essential functions like keeping you logged in as you move between pages.
Persistent Cookies
These remain on your device for a set period – sometimes days, sometimes months. They remember your preferences between visits. For example, if you adjust text size on our site, a persistent cookie remembers that choice for next time.
We regularly review our cookies and delete any that are no longer necessary. Our longest-lasting cookies typically expire after 12 months, though most are much shorter.
Impact of Blocking Cookies
You can absolutely browse legitimax.pro with cookies disabled. But some features won't work as smoothly.
Without cookies, you might need to re-enter information more frequently. Personalized content recommendations won't be as relevant. And some interactive features might not function properly.
Essential cookies are necessary for basic site functionality. If you block these, you might have trouble accessing certain areas or completing forms. It's similar to trying to drive a car with the parking brake on – technically possible, but not ideal.
Changes to This Policy
Technology changes. Privacy laws evolve. We update this policy occasionally to reflect new practices or legal requirements.
When we make significant changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page. For major updates that affect how we collect or use data, we might notify you through email or a prominent notice on our website.
We recommend checking back every few months if you're interested in staying current with our practices. Our commitment to transparency doesn't change, but the details sometimes do.
Questions About Our Cookie Use?
