What We Track and Why

Look, we're going to be straight with you about tracking. When you visit futureenergyintelli.com, we collect certain information to make your experience better and understand how people use our financial education platform.

Cookies are small text files that sit on your device. They remember things like your preferences, whether you're logged in, and which pages you've visited. Without them, you'd have to re-enter everything every time you came back.

But here's the thing — not all tracking is equal. Some of it's necessary for the site to function. Other bits help us improve. And some is purely for marketing purposes.

Types of Tracking We Use

Essential Cookies (Cannot Be Disabled)

These cookies keep the site running. They handle things like:

• Your login session so you don't get kicked out mid-course
• Security tokens that protect against malicious attacks
• Load balancing to ensure pages load quickly
• Your cookie preference choices (ironically, we need a cookie to remember you rejected cookies)

We don't ask permission for these because they're genuinely required for basic functionality.

Functional Cookies

These remember your preferences and make things more convenient:

• Language selection if you switch from English
• Display preferences for charts and financial data
• Course progress tracking within our financial analysis modules
• Your preferred currency display format

You can disable these, but you'll lose the personalized experience.

Analytics Cookies

We use analytics to understand how people navigate our site. This includes:

• Which pages get the most attention
• Where people tend to get stuck or confused
• Average time spent on different course modules
• Traffic sources and user demographics (aggregated, not individual)

This data helps us figure out what content works and what needs improvement. All analytics data is anonymized — we see patterns, not individuals.

Marketing Cookies

These track your activity across sites to show relevant ads:

• Retargeting pixels that show you our ads after you leave
• Conversion tracking to measure campaign effectiveness
• Social media integration for sharing course content
• Third-party advertising network cookies

Marketing cookies are the most invasive type. That's why we give you full control over them.

Specific Cookies We Deploy

How to Control Your Tracking

You've got several options to manage cookies. The easiest is to use the "Decline All Non-Essential Cookies" button at the top of this page. That kills everything except what's absolutely necessary.

Browser-Level Controls

Every modern browser lets you block or delete cookies manually. Here's how:

Keep in mind that blocking all cookies through your browser will break some site functionality. Session management won't work, and you'll be logged out constantly.

Third-Party Services

We integrate with external platforms that have their own tracking mechanisms:

• Google Analytics: Tracks site usage and user behavior patterns
• YouTube: If you watch embedded financial tutorial videos
• Stripe: Payment processing for course enrollments
• Facebook/Instagram: Social media sharing and advertising pixels

These services operate independently and have their own privacy policies. When you reject cookies through our system, we signal them to stop tracking, but you might want to review their individual opt-out mechanisms too.

Data Retention

Different cookies stick around for different amounts of time. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Persistent cookies last anywhere from a few months to a couple years.

Analytics data gets aggregated and anonymized after 90 days. Marketing cookies typically expire after 3-6 months, though retargeting networks might hold onto conversion data longer.

If you delete your account with futureenergyintelli.com, we purge all associated cookie data within 30 days.

Updates to This Policy

We review and update this cookie policy regularly — usually once or twice a year. If we add new tracking technologies or change how we use existing ones, we'll update this page and notify active users via email.

The "Last updated" date at the top tells you when we made the most recent changes.
