When you visit berkelex.pro, small text files get stored on your device. These files – commonly called cookies – help our website remember your preferences and understand how visitors use our platform. Think of them as digital sticky notes that remind our site who you are when you return.

Beyond traditional cookies, we also use pixels, tags, and similar technologies. They all serve the same basic purpose: helping us provide you with a better browsing experience while gathering insights about how our website performs.

Data collection isn't just about numbers on our end. Here's what you get from it:

• Faster load times: Our site remembers what you've already downloaded, so returning visits are quicker
• Personalized content: If you're interested in long-term investment strategies, we can highlight relevant educational resources
• Better resource allocation: When we see which topics resonate, we create more content in those areas
• Error detection: We can identify and fix technical issues before they affect too many visitors
• Security protection: Tracking helps us spot unusual activity that might indicate security threats

When you visit our learning program page, we track how long you spend reviewing course information. This tells us if our descriptions are clear or if people need more detail before making decisions. If you download a resource guide, we note that interaction so we don't repeatedly suggest the same download.

For visitors exploring our investment philosophy, tracking shows us which concepts require more explanation. Maybe everyone reads our article on compound interest but bounces quickly from market timing discussions – that's valuable feedback that shapes our content strategy.

We don't keep tracking data indefinitely. Here's our retention schedule:

• Session-based tracking expires when you close your browser
• Functional preferences remain for up to 12 months
• Analytics data gets aggregated and anonymized after 90 days
• Communication preferences stay active until you modify them or for 24 months without interaction
• Security logs are maintained for 6 months then deleted

Some tracking on our site comes from external services we use for analytics and performance monitoring. These third parties have their own privacy policies and data handling practices. We vet our partners carefully, but you should know that data shared with them falls under their policies as well as ours.

Currently, we use analytics platforms to measure site traffic and engagement. These services receive anonymized data about page views, session duration, and navigation patterns. No personally identifiable information gets shared unless you've explicitly submitted it through a form.

As our website evolves and data regulations change, we update this policy accordingly. Major changes get announced through our usual communication channels, but we recommend checking back periodically – especially if you have specific privacy concerns.

The date at the top of this page shows our most recent revision. If you visited before that date, it's worth reviewing what changed.
