Understanding Our Data Collection Practices
Last Updated: March 15, 2025
Introduction to Our Cookie Usage
At vionkyonline, we believe transparency about data collection builds trust. This comprehensive policy explains how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies on vionkyonline.com to enhance your experience while respecting your privacy choices.
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device to remember information about your visit. Think of them as digital bookmarks that help us provide you with a more personalized and efficient browsing experience each time you return to our platform.
We only collect data that directly improves your experience with our investing education platform. No information is sold to third parties, and you maintain full control over your privacy settings.
Types of Cookies We Use
Our platform employs different categories of cookies, each serving specific purposes to optimize your learning journey. Here's exactly what each type does and why we use them.
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for basic website functionality. They enable you to navigate our platform, access secure areas, and use fundamental features like our learning modules and progress tracking.
Performance Cookies
We collect anonymous information about how visitors interact with our site. This helps us identify which educational content is most valuable and where users might be experiencing difficulties.
Functional Cookies
These remember your preferences and choices, such as your preferred language, course progress, and customized dashboard settings. They make your return visits more seamless and personalized.
Marketing Cookies
With your consent, these cookies help us show you relevant educational content and course recommendations. They also measure the effectiveness of our educational outreach efforts.
Specific Data We Collect
Transparency means being specific about what information we gather. Here's a detailed breakdown of the data points we collect and exactly how they benefit your experience on our platform.
- Course completion rates and learning progress to personalize your educational path
- Time spent on different sections to identify the most engaging content
- Device and browser information to optimize platform compatibility
- Geographic location (country level only) to provide relevant market examples

Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have complete control over how cookies are used on your device. While some cookies are essential for basic functionality, you can customize your experience by adjusting settings in your browser or through our preference center.
Data Retention and Your Rights
We retain cookie data only as long as necessary to provide you with improved services. Most cookies expire automatically after 12 months, though some essential cookies may persist longer to maintain your account preferences and security settings.
You have the right to access, modify, or delete any personal data we've collected through cookies. You can also request a complete export of your data or ask us to stop processing certain types of information. These rights are fundamental, and we've designed our systems to honor them quickly and completely.
Remember that blocking certain cookies may limit some platform features. For example, disabling functional cookies means you'll need to reset your preferences each visit, and blocking performance cookies prevents us from identifying and fixing technical issues you might encounter.
Third-Party Services and Integrations
Our platform integrates with carefully selected third-party services to enhance your learning experience. These may include analytics providers, content delivery networks, and educational technology partners. Each service operates under strict data protection agreements that align with our privacy standards.
When you interact with embedded content like videos or interactive charts, those services may set their own cookies. We ensure all partners meet high privacy standards, but you can review their individual policies for complete transparency about their data practices.
Updates to This Policy
As we enhance our platform and introduce new educational features, we may update this cookie policy to reflect changes in our data practices. We'll notify you of significant updates through email or prominent notices on our website.
We encourage you to review this policy periodically, especially before making important privacy decisions. Your continued use of our platform after policy updates indicates your acceptance of the revised terms.
